Fans raise money to put up anti-Garth billboard outside Barclays

[Bood12]

If the team is so soft that a fan billboard makes them lose than all the players should be shown the door with Snow!

ok and than what? we call up the Sound tigers? maybe the idiotic fan base should realize that them being awful fans has a result of the players wanting to be here and try here, but yea chase all the players out and make the ones who are here not motivated to win for the fans.

But as I always said it is not about product, it is about this fan-base for some reason loving to find a person in the organization and making them the scapegoat for all the teams woes.

I am the opposite of clueless, the idiots who supported this thing are not only the clueless ones, but they are horrible people as well

Snow built the team. Players and coaches. He is to blame.

Apparently Mayfield has been blocking people who are anti Snow. Kinda funny.

At first I thought the 6' 5" Mayfield was out on the sidewalk by the billboards blocking people if they look. Dats how we did it in the old days or worse .

Honestly, if players want to back up Snow to great extents, they need to head out the door with him. I understand they can't come out against him, but actively backing him up and defending him to the death shows just how deep the infection runs. Everyone in this organization, from management to players, from guys like Prince to Tavares, need to be held accountable and if they're going to accept mediocrity, ship them out. No one should be safe.

Lol some might think it’s for the Bahamas Tourism Council.

Yeah, and they probably think those are the colors of the Bahamian flag.

Snow looks like a genius based on some of the moves he has made in recent years, I am guessing if he is let go he is going to be snatched up on a team who has resources and where desired players are interested in signing and he is going to be a success.

The bar on genius has clearly been lowered.

I'm sorry, but he's the GM, he has resources and possibilities to make the Isles a team players are interested in signing and turning them into a successful franchise. Somehow for the last way-too-many-years he didn't even make a move into that direction. The moment he goes somewhere else, he's turning the team into second Islanders.

Maybe then we could form a club of teams which were destroyed by Mr. Snow. Make T-shirts and everything.

You had me going for a bit. Now I know you're just messing around.

If Garth Snow is a genius, I would hate to meet an idiot. I mean if Snow is a genius and he got us one playoff series win, imagine how bad we would be with an idiot at the helm, I guess one less playoff series win.

 

[periferal]

Staple is just blasting Yormark. Love it.

Wish he would blast snow/Ledecky, but you gotta start somewhere.

 

[periferal]

The people who put up this billboard totally deserve Garth. They complicated their message with Brooklyn/LI dynamic, and their ridiculous Kancer Jam stunt. Congratulations.

Fans who don't want to tolerate mediocrity and try to do something about it >>>>>>>>>> Fans who make fun of them while mediocrity is happening right in front of them

 

[periferal]

tbh anyone who @'s Scott Mayfield in a tweet about Snow deserves to be blocked. not because i like snow, just because it's a **** move.

I'm the most anti-snow person here and I agree with this.

Now Ledecky on the other hand...

I think the billboard was a good idea, but the way they handled the Lee situation was extremely poor.

 

[periferal]

I bet the majority of people who see those billboards, are scratching their heads thinking, what the hell does snow must go mean?

100% correct.

The billboards are a fail because they should be addressing specifically Ledecky - Not the general public. Call him out since he's the only person who can make snow "go."

 

[periferal]

If the team likes Snow then it has a loser mentality.

Not sure the team likes snow as much as they are defending the guy who can not sign them/trade them to another city.

If you brought Steve Yzerman in this summer to GM this team, find me the current Islander who would say, "Yeah - Steve's nice and all, but I really would've preferred snow."

 

[periferal]

Blaming fans for the product on the ice is just comical.

Well the word "comical" connotes that there is something to laugh about, but your point is well taken.

 

[Stercrazy]

I don't blame the players for supporting snow who gets them their contracts. The players should support who ever is in charge. That's called being a professional.
With that said none of this joke of a team is on the fan base. I have been to many professional sporting events in many different venues. Aside from a few concerts I have never heard a building louder then that first game against Toronto in 2002....period. Us fans are pissed and hurt as we have endured so much bullshit we are salivating at having a contender. That's why a majority of us want snow out. That's why we can't understand what the owners are doing and why. That's why the billboard went up. And if this current team needs an "us against the world (fanbase)" attitude just to make the playoffs then this house of cards needs to come down. That 2002 team would kick this teams ass.

 

[periferal]

For those of you that remember...The players also supported Milbury...And wang.

Basically public comments mean little.

Just wondering: how many NHL GM's stay in power for 12 years despite only making the playoffs 4 times? Name another organization where that total incompetence would be tolerated?

I agree because after the contract Garth gave him Mayfield should have one of those Mexican velvet paintings of Garth hanging in his living room. Of course he's going to love the guy.
