#IslesUnfollow

[DarkHorse2]

Folks, this is a call to arms.

We in the Islanders fandom expect something awful today. We expect to find out that Garth Snow and Doug Weight will inexplicably be retained as GM and Head Coach respectively, despite over a decade of futility between them.

If this comes to pass, I am asking you take a small, yet important public action. If you happen to follow the Islanders on social media, please unfollow them, and ask your friends to do so as well. This is the most immediate way to send a message that this team is doing the wrong thing.

Now you ask yourself, why would I, at best a non-fan of the Islanders, care? Maybe you don't. Maybe you like the idea of a rival team going down in the flames of incompetence.

But, like us, you are a fan. You are a fan of your team. We, are fans of hockey. You wouldn't want this to happen to your team. You shouldn't want it to happen to ours.

So please, if Snow is still the General Manager of the Islanders today and going forward, join the #IslesUnfollow.

Thank you.

8 playoff misses for Snow, and absolutely 0 structure in Weight's system. What the hell do the owner's see? Is he the best ass kisser alive?

 

[Mr. Met]

IF THIS POST GETS 69 LIKES, CHARLES WANG WILL FIRE GARTH SNOW

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

You have my unfollow.

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Im an NJ fan and its bullshit

Ruins a good thing with having another less competitive team nearby. Competition is always fun

Its funny if they lose Tavares, its annoying that Snow still has a job

 

[Cootsfanclub]

No GM that lets the face of the team leave for nothing, while still in their prime, should retain their job.

 

[hi]

I followed and unfollowed

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Unfollowed on Twitter, IG and Facebook.

P.O.S.'s

 

[Devilsfan118]

You understand that you're actually going to increase their follower count by posting this on the main board, right?

 

[Rebels57]

If I was following them, I would certainly Unfollow.

I will tweet out #IslesUnfollow though.

 

[Slicknitty]

They really are oilers east

Caps fan here. I feel bad for the Islanders fans... probably because I'm a DC sports + Mets fan and was raised in a Mets and Jets household, and I empathize with terrible ownership thanks to Dan Snyder and the Redskins. Although playoff success has not happened as we would have liked in the Ovechkin era, we've been really lucky to have continued regular season success and to be able to watch Ovechkin rewrite history. I can't imagine how angry I'd be if the Caps did to Ovie what the Islanders are doing to JT and ownership took that experience from me as a fan. Sucks.

 

[ffh]

maybe something that needed to be done to make Tavares to re-sign.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

I unfollowed and tweeted out #IslesUnfollow

Hate to see a potential rivalry go by the wayside. I'm a Penguins fan, so the better the other teams in the division the more exciting the sport.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I don't use Twitter.

But I like your moxie.

 

[Brock Radunske]

It's a big ask but OK.
I pledge to continue not to follow the Islanders.

 

[HanSolo]

I'll follow them for 10 minutes, then unfollow them for you.

 

[CBJFan19*]

This will do absolutely nothing. Stop buying islanders gear and going to games and watching on TV. Basically stop being a fan. That's the only way you can make noise.

 

[ACC1224]

I don't mind the Isles and feel for their struggles but this seems like a lot of work.

Maybe they have photographic evidence of ownership doing something unnatural with a donkey.

 

[JT Kreider]

Lol why the eff would I unfollow the Islanders in hopes they fire Snow and Weight.

If anything I'm going to create 100 fake accounts and follow them in support of the GREAT job they have been doing!!

 

[MessierII]

New owners aren’t any better than wang apparently.

 

[JT Kreider]

New owners aren’t any better than wang apparently.

The only logical explaination to the commitment to Snow is that Wang gave him an ironclad contract as one last parting gift that is impossible for the L and M to get out of.

LOL this is mean. But I do appreciate the commitment to the rivalry, touche.

Just ring up Chiarelli and fix some holes on your roster by trading your 3 and 4th rounders and prospects who busted out.
