Jack Capuano had his fair share of highs and lows in six-plus seasons as the head coach of the New York Islanders. Three playoff appearances, including one series win in 2015-16, were most certainly the high water mark of his tenure. Obviously, losing the locker room and, eventually, the confidence of the front office, were the valleys to his coaching peaks.
By the time Capuano was shown the door, it was painfully clear that he had taken this team as far as he could. It seemed that, over time, his voice was tuned out by his players.
