What are your goals for the rest of the Islander’s season?

- Start date
I have to power wash and paint the deck, and plant some flowers in the front.

Squeak into the playoffs and lose in 4 games because that's really fun

Let's Go Islanders!
I would say the boos to progress louder and louder but I think the fan base has largely reached the point of apathy

Play Varly 75-80% the rest of the way. Quite simply, see if this is team problem or a goalie problem. Sorokin has been mediocre since the CAR playoff series.

To see Patrick Roy have another candid moment with the media after a game and say that the team lacks the type of players he needs to play his system.
Come on, there's nothing more rousing than roaring back in Game 82 to make the playoffs on the last day of the season. Then another chance to order Prove People Wrong t-shirts for all the pundits and so called experts counting us out.
We live for this stuff.

Pansies as an homage to Bailey?
Trotz said that too. Once. Now he sleeps with the fishes...

Truth be told in the unlikely event that this happens, we’d surely take them to five or six games and lose and the consensus would be that we were soooo close.

This season is a wash. Time to start considering the future for the Islanders.
Lose every game except the one against the Rangers. The Isles need draft capital
and they need picks in the top 10 if possible. Lou should have been a major seller at the
deadline. Time to move on for this season.

Make the playoffs.
Show some f***ing pride.

Please!
The Ying and the Yang. It may surprise some to hear it from me, but they should try to make the playoffs. I don't think they can lose enough to get a lottery spot and it's not a deep draft anyway so they might as well fight as hard as they can to make it. "Don't cost nothin'" as they used to say when I lived in rural upstate NY.
Meanwhile, and far more importantly, they should be identifying who the new GM will be for the coming rebuild.

I think this is the annual rite of passage post for 30 years.
Just imagine if they had one pick and used it on Wally vs the two and got Wally and Dobson. Wowzer, DaColle special worthy of rebuilding.

The same people who are hoping for a complete rebuild, and chastising anyone that supports the current team as having low expectations, are also the same ones actively hoping the team loses and devolves into a perennial loser. Interesting.

These last three seasons will seem like the dynasty years in comparison if they embark on a complete tear down.

Winning the Stanley Cup is not relative. I'm also not advocating for a "complete tear down"; I'm advocating for a new, competent front office. If they decide that trading Barzal and Sorokin is the best option, that's their decision.

I hope the first one is one of them . . .I think I understood about 1/2 of these, lol

Nice list. I approve though I’m not particularly worried about the possibility of a Holmstrom hatty. In fact, if it does happen then I’ll personally pay for his Invisalign treatments.
I’ll add Trouba catching an accidental elbow headshot from Clutter in the last Rags game.
