I'm suprised most fans don't hate seeing third jerseys in person. . I hated the orange jerseys so much I would find the third jerseys schedule and avoid those games. I want to see islander jerseys, at islander games. I'd rather listen on the radio, which i did for the fisherman years then look at those things. I can't be the only one that avoided games with third jerseys. It doesn't matter that they may look cool in general, the black and current one look fine, it's just not what I want to see on the ice.
Anyway with Lehner, better to pay him a solid amount for another year, or two, then long term. Look at halak, greis, put a average to above avaerage goalie in a well coached team with tight defense they will put up good numbers.
