WE have reached a crossroad

Hello everyone.. it has been a while. I have watched with frustrations and aggravation the up and down Islander season. I know the Islanders have been battling flu bugs and injuries for the last week or so... but tonight is the last chance to begin a playoff charge. If they do not show up and beat the Penguins tonight it is time to start rooting for draft picks. They have a good team. It is a team built on character instead of talent. It is the type of team that could actually do some damage in the playoffs if they made it. They need to start playing Teddy Nolan hockey. They need to beat other teams to the puck. They need to have forwards back checking. They need to dig in the trenches. They need to skate full speed every shift. I believe in this team. I hope they don't disappoint me in that belief!!

I was at the game on Tuesday and the constant Booing of the home fans pained me. I don't understand the thought process on coming to a game just to shout "we suck" at the top of your lungs. What kind of example are you setting for the kids? Did you think they were going to kill the ducks? do you think a team with Weight, Selanne, Guigerre, Neidemeyers, etc. stunk? Do you hear the kids Yelling "Satan you suck!" while he is laying on the ice in pain? I get as frustrated at losing skids as any fan, but is this how you really want to express your feelings to YOUR Team? How many people who booed Eli feel stupid right now? If someone yells "come on Skate!!" to a player I have no issues but to scream "You Suck ____ " is just absurd!! Show a little class.
