Speculation: Choose Your Own Adventure

[BarBeauWahlDobLok]

Would you rather:

A) Make the playoffs and go out in the first round?
B) Miss the playoffs and win the lottery for the 1st overall pick?
C) Miss the playoffs and have the result be Jack Capuano is fired and replaced with a real, actual NHL coach?

You may only pick one, and this is only for fun.

We are playing like garbage. We have no chance in the playoffs. Time for the purge.

If the eventualities are outlined like this and there can be no other, I can't see anyone making an argument for A since that doesn't help or change the team in any way.

It basically boils down to if you think the Islanders with Matthews can win despite Capuano or if the new mystery coach X can succeed with this core. It could be close...

C

we need a coach who the players would be afraid to face after no giving effort

A) If the team goes out in the first round for a third time cappy is gone anyway.

Aside from the options...I want this team to win a round even if it means cappy stays.

To win the lottery would be great right, that would be exciting. A kind of gift that Snow missed to trade Okposo.

The other thing is easy, Snow and Capuano will be kicked out in less than 100 days. Enough with this BS.

This is for fun? It seems like an exercise in masochism.

Jack chooses "A"

Hopefully Malkin and Ledecky have already decided C and have someone in mind to replace Crappy next year. And if the remaining choice is 1 round and out or the 1st overall pick, I'll take the latter.
Of course, we'll probably miss the playoffs and pick 14th.

I am not allergic to negative posts or threads, but come on. Isn't this like cliff diving into your septic tank?

Well, we are Islander fans, right? We need the pain to know that we're alive.

Cliff diving and going into a septic tank are both things that get an undeserved bad rap.

 

[Islanders1932]

A. I would never root for my team to miss the playoffs ever.

 

[CodeE]

B and it isn't even close. Matthews can step in next season and make our team filthy good.

Lol!

 

[Lame Lambert]

B because if we miss Capuano gets fired anyway

B because if we miss Capuano gets fired anyway

I love your optimism, can I have some?

 

[stranger34]

as a fan need to root for A; but C would be more productive.
