On the issue of dealing with Jaroslav Halak, Allan Walsh, J.F Berube, and Thomas Greiss, Snow skirted responsibility, saying "No, not really" when asked if he had any regrets to how the situation played out.

"I think our goaltending struggled the first 10 weeks or so. Christopher Gibson got hurt in Bridgeport and was lost for the season so having Jaro down there was essential. We felt if J.F had been exposed to waivers, he would have gotten claimed, and we would've been left with Jaro and Greiss and two young goaltenders. That injury figured into some of our decision making. Sometimes people don't realize injuries at the AHL level impact decisions up here."


He just can't admit he facked up

How about Snow crossing his fingers a month before the end of the season for Dougie to be the Head Coach

Having Jaro cover for the minor league team was essential?

The press does not care enough to press Garth Dan. Isles are seen as a joke so they do not bother.

Garth was not going outside for a coach. Weight is his boy and Garth and Weight are both Wang's boys. Wang is still running this team.

Routing hard for the Leafs, go MM!
Hoping Caps finally win the Cup.
Absolutely routing for the Habs.

Fact the Islanders didn't make it tells me not enough Islanders fans had their fingers crossed for it!

I take full blame for the failure 7. Cannot have our GM doing it.

I can't wait honestly and as mad as I am the isles are out I find I can enjoy the skill and speed so much more when I'm not screaming or hanging on every play. (frank) I'd still prefer the later

If Weight turned the job down, Garth would have had to do actual GM work and interview other people.

WOW.......great article. Wonder if anyone in Newsday would be as brutally honest??? Its obvious to the entire world that Snow is a joke.



"That Snow thinks he has taken a lot of criticism is a perfect example of lack of perspective. How do you think his 11-year track record would play in Toronto or Montreal or even just across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan? The answer: It wouldn’t be an 11-year track record. How about his explanation that he undercut his NHL team this season by sending goalie Jaroslav Halak down to the minors because there was an injury to somebody named Christopher Gibson?"

Nail on head

Reading that Vegas is gonna announce Gerard Gallant as head coach. Surprised Capuano wasn't hired.

I'm glad they didn't hire him. Leave him for an Eastern conference, preferably Metro team.

Yeah, but Bailey had 13 goals this season! He's clearly a bigger threat on the blue line.

This is by far the best analysis of Garth Snow and the Islanders as a whole since he became general manager that I've ever read. Spot on.
