I don't support guerin but I do think this is one of the only "audible" hints of player discontent. The GM and coach are both inept and the chance of winning now or in the future has to weigh on the minds of the players. So if Guerin is upset at this failed system brought on by an AHL coach.......good. Hope more come foreward. A GOOD coach would not be facing this. Nolan wasn't ideal but at least he has the ability to tell any player to STFU as a Jack Adams winner. And Snow replaces him with a weakling. Sim, Guerin, whatever. The fabric of the team is not strong in the least and it shows. Matt….Guerin works for a misrun organization and has pride.

There were rumors of Guerin and Gordon not getting along. Maybe everyone liked Sim? Who knows, the only thing we can be certain of is that we suck really, really bad.......

And hopefully we'll sit down one day and discuss how all of THIS turned into a Stanley Cup... hopefully it's not with our grandchildren. One other thing I'd like to point out... I'd really just like gordon to say (like any good coach in this position) "Man, I'm just not doing my job right now." Whether that is true or not, he needs to take the heat. that might get him fired, but sure as heck the Melrose path of calling out your players is not the path either. He can start the healing if it starts like that. If he says that these guys were doggin' it... well he's done. Any chance this is a reaction to Bailey being denied his WJC op? Or maybe the treatment of a guy you signed to play a defensive system, who had five goals more than your wunderkind, who is a league journeyman... and you take a dump on his head after he comes back from a major leg injury into the go-go. Just a thought. I’m a met fan, and THANK GOODNESS a Giant fan… so it ain’t all bad.

Usually watch the DVR when I get home from work. LMFAO, what a f@#king joke!!! Have to wonder if there are some internal problems when you see consistent losses like these. Can't wait to hear Gordon's after game statement!!! Wonder if he won't be unhappy with their play like he wasn't when they lost 5-1 to the Thrashers!!!

And, we all know that a team below us is gonna win the draft lottery and leap frog us, so we wind up with the third pick. It's just our fate as isles fan.

Just pointing something out. Some people seem to get upset when people are misquoted on here. I'm not one of them by the way, just pointing it out because a lot of us are quick to defend when we shouldn't be. Bit sensitive. Just pointing something out.

Tonight I am to Islander negativity what Barry Goldwater is to modern conservatism. Penguins being interviewed at each break pretty much chimed in, "we're not gonna rub it in their faces, but we still have to play" You know you're pathetic when you're getting a pity **** from the Pittsburgh Penguins... Cindy Crosby, up 8-1 is whining about a delay of game call.. Malkin, butt-ends Jackman in the face and skates away... Where's my jersey, and my sharpie... what do I need to write, Nick... SNOW JOB? And.. there is still no mass transit answer for the Lighthouse project. But.. on the bright side Mitch Fritz wasn't cold in the third so he was able to get out there with three minutes left without fear of fines or suspensions. MAN, DO I FEEL VINDICATED TONIGHT... AND IT SUCKS.... BIG TIME!!!! At least SNOW MUST GO rhymes Nick, my boy, the embarrassment I feel due to my lack of your acceptance and validation pales in comparison with the embarrassment I feel when I wear my Islander jersey.

Hopefully we never see that again, also big props to anyone else who stuck with me to the end of that one. Anyone who says they are done watching this year, hope you become a devils fan or a ranger fan because you are not an islander fan anymore so dont think about coming back we dont want you.
