Islanders On Notice

11/23/2015 at 7:28pm EST

from Arthur Staple of Newsday,

Everyone is on notice. The Islanders will make an ownership transition in July, with Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin taking the majority reins from Charles Wang. The team's partner/landlord at Barclays Center wants to sell more tickets.

Those are the pressures on Snow and the coaching staff, as tight-knit a group as the players say they are in the room. Those same players, who have benefited from an extremely player-friendly coach in Capuano, can't abuse that situation by not being tough on one another after games such as Sunday's 4-2 loss in Montreal, when the players were more upset about borderline penalty calls than their 0-for-5 night on the power play and 2-for-5 night on the penalty kill.

Thanksgiving is coming, the most important family time of the year. If the Islanders don't treat this week with the proper importance, their own family may be fractured.
