New York Islanders fans have had enough of Garth Snow. Yesterday, Islanders fans raised thousands of dollars to show their displeasure.

Isles Twitter is the best. A year ago this time we were tracking planes to see if the New York Islanders were making a trade and this year, it went well beyond just the tracking of an airplane.

In less than two hours Islanders fans raised over $2,725 to put a “Snow Must Go” billboard on Flatbush avenue.

Here’s a quote from the GoFundMe, which is still open by the way so go donate. Last I heard they are trying to raise money for a second billboard and the rest of the money will be donated to Anders Lee’s Kancer Jam.

"It’s time to send a clear message to Islanders owners Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin. Fans will no longer tolerate the culture of losing surrounding this franchise. Help us send a message and tell ownership that “SNOW MUST GO” on a poster board within a half mile of the Barclays Center."

Seriously, shout-out to James Duffy, Isles Nation, Chris Howard and I’m sure I’m forgetting others who were involved but to everyone who organized, and who donated, thank you, this is amazing. Raising thousands of dollars to show our displeasure with the team is certainly effective and ownership has to see this.

We all want the same thing here, despite Isles Twitter’s differences all we really want is a real competitive team that can fight for a championship.

Opinion: Doug Weight’s comments are insulting

The New York Islanders again lost. And again it was a poor defensive display from this team. Is it fair to blame the fans? (No. The answer is and always will be no).

Editorials: Isles Defense Should Watch USWHT

The New York Islanders have some glaring issues on defense that need to be resolved. Their play has improved over the last couple of weeks but not to the point that there are no longer any concerns. The Isles could draw inspiration from an unlikely place.
