The news we have been waiting for for years finally happened and the euphoria lasts less than 24hrs. And the thread is back to Bailey sucks.

I think there will be a lot of players crying and getting a dose of harsh reality once the new coach comes to town.

I've bashed the guy for years. I'll never be a fan, but he does well with JT. I don't have an issue with it. If JT walks I think we will see the old Bailey.

As far as the bolded part - I can't wait! The country club is now closed!

We're not really bashing him. I do wonder if the new coach will make him cry.

Exactly

"Well" is the right description.

#Isles President and GM Lou Lamoriello on @FAN590 earlier on why he fired Doug Weight:

“I have my reasons why. The interaction that I had with Doug, he knows why..”

Sounds like Dipshit Doug didn't like a little criticism from someone who actually, you know...has a clue.

My prediction is he's gone within 2 years most likely by seasons end.

Its impossible to speculate right now. There are too many variables between JT, the open roster spots, new coach and new GM. Who knows.

Maybe because Doug was in over his head and tried to play pond hockey every night?

I agree, although I did think he got off to an ok start in 2008 when he began the rebuild by trading down to select Josh Bailey and garner draft picks to re-stock the cupboard which was left bare.......first and foremost by Milbury......then by the Committee. A lot of people criticized him for not selecting Filatov or Luke Schenn with the 5th overall pick.

It's everything that came after that brought about his demise.....

I was so sold on Filitov!!

I know the player and I know our new POH/GM So I stand by my prediction .
I hope the guy lives up to his contract of course but I don't see it happening. You are right JT staying does play a huge role but I feel the way I do either way really. Lou doesn't try to appease players even Tavares. Not his MO.

I kind of was. At first I said I was ok with Garth's selection of Bailey 9th overall after trading down to re-stock the farm. Then cpt and ses called me a Bailey lover, so I had to bolster my Bailey-hate credentials.

Admittadely I was also. With that said so was everyone else. We were all wrong and Snow was right. If 12 years of being a GM was based solely on that decision then he would be just awesome

Shannon must be thrilled Doug is out as coach. Cannot believe how badly he handled himself.

If Bailey won't be playing with JT then they need to trade him ASAP while he still has some value.

Maybe Shannon was part of Lou's evaluation.

Agreed. In Lou we trust (soon to be hunter).

I wish I coulda witnessed that interaction.

Oh stop with whining about perceived whining. Discussing a players worth is not whining. You are actually whining. The discussion is connected to our new GM poh and how he won't put up with lackadaisical bs.

Same thing.

- Wildschwein

I'm sure Doug would have handled it with the same grace and civility that he handled being asked some mildly-difficult, routine questions at a post-game presser.

Guy is a (frank)ing asshat and deserves to be treated as such. Lou probably criticized him, he blew his stack, and Lou forked over his walking papers.

I wish I coulda witnessed that interaction.

Funny. A lot of Islander fans hated how tight lipped Snow was. Wait till they get a load of Lameriello.

As long as we're winning no one will care
