I am a die hard islander fan, but every time they are on they are boring to watch. I find myself watching the news. Avery has his pros and cons, but his pros out way his cons and he will def put this organization on the map. They need a reason to sell tickets and as good as DP, guerin, comrie, etc have been nobody is coming to the games. Avery is the type of player we need. He wares his heart on his jersey. i understand where you are coming from regarding garth snow, but he hasnt done anything yet…yes we all know he isnt afraid of pulling the trigger on a big deal at the deadline, but the fact is there is no energy on the ice.

Nothing worse than a cancer in the clubhouse, no matter the talent...look at A-Rod and T.O., ALL TALK, NO TITLES.

Avery, while good at what he does - has clearly worn out his welcome in the NHL. From what we heard out of Botta regarding the Rangers and now Dallas walking away from their mistake - I don't want Avery anywhere near this team. Garth Snow has done nothing to make me feel he cannot run this organization worse than Mike Milbury. If Ron Hextall can manage the LA Kings (whom I rode the shuttle with from our Ottawa hotel with during the draft) Garth Snow can manage the Islanders. Snow has a young coach, a system in place both with the NHL club and the AHL club, he is coming in off a great 2008 draft and has already gained numerous picks for 2009. This type of stuff takes time and patience. If we ditch Snow, we start from scratch all over again. Dylan,

Avery might need bring the star player 50 goal scorer they need like ryan smyth did, but he will bring a whole new energy that they are lacking on and off the ice.. secondly they need to get rid of garth snow. the guy has no idea about hockey. he was a career backup goaltender and is ruining this organization day in and day out. he is bringing in players that are just like him personality wise BORINGGGGG AND DULL... thirdly TRADE FOR SEAN AVERY... what the islanders need to fix there issues is 3 fold…

I am still really annoyed at how long it takes them to set up for a shot when in the offensive zone, it seems that it allows a defender or forward to step up and make an easy block.

JMac made 3-4 great saves to save them during their 3-minute defensive collapse to save the first period and leave it at 1-0. The defnese MUST start doing something as it's costing the offense tons of time and the resulting shots. Shots were 10-2 halfway through the first period.

The defense just doesn't seem to be cutting it and the amount of shots allowed early on is unacceptable. Even tonight, they look lost in their own end - hopefully they find their mojo.

He needs to challenge them, get in their face, and see how they respond. Responses to Logan's blog are right...bringing back DP will not turn this team around. JMac and Danis are in the crosshairs of a shooting gallery almost every night. 19 shots in the first period? I do agree that it was good to see Gordon stick it to the team with a touch practice. Not pushing after a tough loss is a continued acquiescence to the poor play. Bring on Colubmus. Gordon needs to call out his defense.
