Ever since Jack Capuano had replaced Scott Gordon and was named interim coach of the New York Islanders, fans have been very vocal about the coaches future.
The past five season the Islanders have like always had their highs and lows. Obviously they amassed more lows then historic moments. The team only qualified for the playoffs one other time besides this season under Capuano’s guidance. That season has a bold asterisk at the head of it being it was shortened because of the strike. Who knows how the team would have fared if it was your normal 82.
Capuano somehow has wiggled his way out of trouble and has kept himself safe from the big Axe.
