The Islanders' case as the current 'Kings of New York sports'

What a time to be a New York Islanders fan.

Normally when you hear that, it doesn't portend good things. It means the Islanders were criminally mismanaged or were purchased by an actual criminal or were forced into a nomadic arena existence that hopefully doesn't end with them in Quebec City.
