They have sucked (hard) most of my life. Pat LaFontaine (the supposed golden child) never brought them back to the 1970s dominance.
So why the hate, Slave?

First, a hockey timmy moment. The Isles were dominant in the early 80's - from 80 to 83, I believe, after which the Oiler dynasty occurred.
And I think everybody hates the Isles because they are the redheaded step child of the NHL. Just kind of pathetic, and not in a money losing way like several Canadian teams, or a since-when-do-they-play-hockey there way, like the Panthers, Hurricanes, Stars, Lightning, Mighty Ducks, Blue Jackets etc., or a french way, like the Nordiques, or even in a Hartford whalers way. Just kind of a sad sack team.
But as I said before, I think Nassau Coliseum rocks. And I always liked Mike Bossy - he was one of my lucky hockey cards.
