Ledecky has had two years to think about who he might like to have take over for Garth. I know I would have given it plenty of thought.

From Wiki.


Lamoriello played college hockey at Providence College where he graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. In 1996 he joined the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL) as a scout. In September 2001, Lamoriello took over the dual role of Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations for the New Jersey Devils (NHL) and General Manager for their AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils.

So he's under contract to the Devils organization. Doesn't sound like he's going anywhere mid-season.

I think Cairns is just a scout now? Sorry I though you knew the Isles hired Lou's kid.

It's easy to forget since all the focus needs to go to Snow and Cappy and the great job they have done.

I think cuz they won a round. But all signs are pointing toward a pretty big step backwards.

One round in 23 years is no reason to stop it. We get to a Cup we can stop it or if we get a new GM and coach.

I was at peace with them losing 2-1 last night. It was a good game and I couldn't knock the effort. Everything that happened after they tied it 2-2 was painful though.

Not even close. That's the last time I listen to one of your predictions Nostradumbass.
- JimmyP

Actually I was very close. Was 2-2 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd, then your team poop the bed.

i nominate barrington levy to be the next head coach

Im noticing a trend about late 3rd period goals.....been what, 6 years now?

You should have factored that in!

I just remember Clutterbucks last minute goal against us last year.

(frank) the world cup

You should have factored that in!

Last night was the 1st full Isles game I caught this year. I didn't know that was an issue.

Clutterbuck has the best wrist shot on the islanders......probably not a great sign.

After watching teams like the Habs, the Caps, the Ranges, and now the Pens, its pretty clear that the isles aren't on their level. Those teams are playoff teams that have that extra gear. Its great that Prince tied the game, and all, but at the end of the day the isles haven't beaten anyone in their division (i think).

After watching this team the first few games it was clear to me that they've taken a step back, but fans were quick to say.....its only 3 games, its only 5 games. Well, now its only 8 games, but they have the same problems they've had for 6 years. Scoring, PP, and finding a way to win games.

Yeah, I can't really comment on the season so far cause I haven't watched. But last night, minus those last 2 minutes, I thought you guys played really good, considering it was the end of a back to back and against Pitt. Team had a bunch of grade A scoring chances, and I don't think you guys got out played. But I'm just basing this off of last night.

Well, if you have the same problem (finishing out games) year after year, its a problem.
