They had to bring up Neil Smith.

He started talking ownership with Wang. I would have started with the immortal John Spano, followed by the notorious cheapskates, Gluckstern and Millstein. That still would have left time for the ever-meddling Wang.

That's how Canadians look come February. Lack of sunlight does terrible things to our complexion.

Thought this was interesting. Friedman's take on Ledecky's comments at the press conference.

6. On the Islanders: I don’t know whether it was a lack of communication, or someone said something they shouldn’t, but it’s clear ownership was not prepared to announce a return for GM Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight. As owner Jon Ledecky said Monday and re-iterated with a statement Tuesday, “Everyone is under review.” It could be something as simple as Tavares’ decision determining everyone’s fate. But, the organization was not prepared to commit to anyone or anything at this time. Ledecky getting up and leaving the podium was telling. He was not pleased, and, my guess is he didn’t want to say anything that made the situation worse.

It was not the typical sunshine and rainbows about the GM and coach 7. Question, if the Isles are interested in Fitzgerald, would they need to wait until the Devils are eliminated?

Technically no, they could ask The Devils for permission now but that's just unprofessional at this point. They need him to concentrate on the task at hand and obviously that's The PO's.

The thing I do not get is Fitzgerald is not a coach so what can he really have to focus on at this point? I just hate all this waiting. Could L&M be hoping JT signs quickly so they can make a move on Garth once JT is wrapped up?

He's watching every game like everyone else in the Devil's org. If they lose the GM/Asst GM need to address the weakness etc in the off season. If your Teams in the PO's there is nothing else you want your staff focusing on. Especially seeing employment with another team.

Brutal for fans of teams that miss the playoffs and are waiting and hoping for change.

Imagine the Oilers' owner going on a listening tour to get opinions on Chiarelli........

"What do you think of the job Chiarelli is doing?"

Garth: "He's the best. You should hang onto him at all costs."

These NHL playoffs are way too long. Maybe best of 5 1st round would help?
