khan says on feb 28... be proud, be loud, but be classy

as many of you know i'm a man of integrity... i hold myself up with distinction and treat everyone that comes into my circle of trust with respect and admiration.

ok ok i know in the past i've had some issues with that...

particularly with one former captain that shall remain nameless... but his initials are james t kirk and he's a douchebag. ok i said it.

but what i want to talk about is another former captain who will be visiting the old barn (or jiffy pop arena). he will be there and the isles will be there and you will be there and that's the problem in this whole equation... you!

it's not all of you but some of you... some islander fans tend to act and behave in a way that some would call classless... disgusting... stupid... embarrassing... childish... i could go on... and i get that. i get that some of you can't clamp down on your inferior instincts to be lower educated dolts who can only use profanity or insults to make a point. it's pretty vulcan stupid if you ask me (see what i did there?) if you didn't see what i did there, then that's my point

when mr JTK... oops i mean JT or pajama boy or snake? is that what some of you are doing? anyway... when he comes a knockin' the building needs to be rockin'... but also classy.

show the world that islander fans aren't low brow non genetically engineered buffoons. if you chant asshole or you suck or anything childish or immature you will be painting the entire organization with a brush of embarrassment. the players on your own team don't want to hear that... the owners... the coach... other fans.

yes what happened and the way it happened was hard for all but that's what makes us stronger... it was unfortunate but we've all moved on... for the better IMO.

what will show the world what true islander fans are like is greeting your former captain with polite thankful applause for years of hard work and sincere love for the organization. THEN it's time to turn the page and turn all that hate into cheers for the guys who are here and playing their asses off for you.

if you chant some graphic vulgar thing through the rafters, the players and everyone watching will be embarrassed not just for themselves but for you. do you want the current islanders thinking "why am i fighting so hard for these people?"?

please... let it go...

i should know... i should have taken that advice all those years ago before i held on to that anger after getting frozen then saved then stranded then losing my dear wife after ceti-alpha 6 exploded... and i couldn't let it go until i blew up and became a planet.

no curses... no insults... don't humiliate yourselves and the rest of us... islander fans at their best are classy, fair, great sports fans and this is the defining moment for you guys. there is no other time. this is gonna show the world what you are.

you can be the best... or you can look like a complete and utter moron... though booing is fine

this is not class
