Must-win game on the road, No. 76 out of 82, playoff chances about as slim as they can get, and the New York Islanders simply didn't show up to play Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ten minutes into the game, New York was stuck four. It was 5-0 at the end of the first period. Nightmare.
Islanders fans did what any respectable supporter would do: Tweet.
Here are some of the better ones:
@NYIslanders Did the Islanders know that the game started at 7pm not 7:30pm.

The Islanders really played themselves out of the playoffs and out of the lottery. It actually happened.

The islanders haven't had a real GM in like 22+ years. Start there and we'll improve

The Islanders need an adult

After careful consideration, I'm retiring from rooting for the islanders. My life will be easier that way

Well the Islanders had about two weeks of relevancy. A good run for them this year

Goodbye John Tavares. Goodbye New York islanders franchise.
