Leave it to the Islanders to give us a good laugh

Slow news day folks.  If anything gets moving later today I'll pop it up.  For the time being, rest assured good friends; I have provided you with some comic relief.

In my Internet searches this fine, early morning, I came across a marketing campaign/slogan for the 2008-09 New York Islanders.  The statement is so-so, but the best part is embedded in the text.  Maybe I took it differently then some, but I'm sure even Islanders fans had to let out a  slight "yeah right" when they read this.

There's the general ad for the Islanders.  Basic, concise and somewhat desperate.  Do you want a piece of the team that made the playoffs only once in the past three years and finished 25 out of 30 NHL teams in attendance?
