The team would have been much better off if they had gotten rid of Snow and kept Nolan. If I would have known that they were not going to sign any decent free agents & then were going to dump Nolan, I would not have renewed my season tix. Now I'm stuck for another 2 years. I guess that they were afraid that a lot of fans would feel that way -- so that's why they didn't it right after last season. Maybe they can go for a triple play & cap off Nolan's canning with a re-signing of Yashin to make sure that the 1st line is in ruins & Milbery as the coach & GM.

Which one of the 3 in the last four years was he faithful to? You can't fault him for not plyaing the young guys he has tambolini is a 3rd or 4th line player at best. All the have in bridgeport is C level veterns and no youth so who are you going to bring up? Spiller? Garth also said that he gave him guys like Guiren who if i recall was a healthy scratch in San Jose in the playoff's and Satan who has what 2 18 goal seasons. Give me a break. The new coach is really lucky though he has an unreal free agent coming in with Doug Weight who was on the Ducks 4th line next year but really guys he should be a great number one center. With the exeption of the Smythe deal (which lasted 4 months) who has garth really brought in??? Owner's should own, managers manage, coaches coach and Ricky should stick to playing nets.

The Islanders are always full of surprises. And as long as they can beat the rangers in the regular season... well... that's good enough for me. Hush up Scotty.

John Tavares as an Islander, huh? Nah, you guys likely won't even win the lottery either. Hahahaha. Sorry Mike, this is just too good. Too easy, too good. It's like Wang wants to lose. Better to lose with friends than win with enemies. I love it. Let's Go Rangers! So. John Tavares as an Islander, huh? Nah, you guys likely won’t even win the lottery either. Hahahaha.
