Last night during the New York Islanders game against the Washington Capitals there were multiple reports of a chant that broke out amongst fans.
While there isn't much known about exactly what fans were chanting it was related to head coach Lane Lambert. Among the boos were rumored to be fire Lambert chants.
After the game, several Islanders players including one key veteran spoke up about the atmosphere.
After their loss to the Washington Capitals, New York Islanders veterans Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck spoke up about their opinions on the fans.
Cizikas will not do himself any favors with the fans with his comments. While it's clear he is just protecting his team the comments come off as horrible. Clutterbuck on the other hand does still seem annoyed by the fans' reactions but acknowledges their right to do so.
Regardless of fan behavior the Islanders will need to turn their play around quick if they want to preserve the job of the coach they are defending.
