Islanders fans have every right to be impatient. Not one under the age of 40 can remember a captain skating with the Stanley Cup, and even those old enough to recall such wonders have seen one playoff series victory in a quarter-century.
Islanders fans also have every right to insist that general manager is not a lifetime appointment. Two months ago, the Giants canned Jerry Reese during the season, and all he had done was win two Super Bowls in a decade on the job.
So the campaign by some fans calling for ownership to act — complete with a #SnowMustGo hashtag and a GoFundMe effort to pay for not one but two billboards to that effect near Barclays Center — is neither inappropriate nor insane.
