Herrmann has covered the Mets and Yankees since 1988, and has been Newsday’s national golf writer since 2002.
No tears for Jack Capuano. As a hockey lifer he always has known how it works for a head coach: He takes ownership. The poor record, last-place standing, stalled player development and late-game collapses are all his. Fair enough. That said, the fact remains that the Islanders still are Garth Snow’s team.
The fact within the fact is that, as anyone who has studied the roster or watched the games can tell you, the team is just not good enough.
