Maybe Shannon was part of Lou's evaluation.

Doug was a good player and played for some fine coaches and he looked like he had no clue about hockey last year. If you cannot handle the Isles press you have no shot anywhere else.

I wish I coulda witnessed that interaction.
- Wildschwein

I can imagine Lou in a conference room with Garth’s Crew of Nubnutz and Tree Stumps listening to the BS and saying to himself, oh my God I have to be on Punked.
It just can’t really be this bad.

That's pretty spot on

Same thing.
- JohnScammo

Good point. I've had my favorites over the years in Bailey, Frans, Nelson, and KO.

Doug had a meltdown with 3 people covering this team.

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.

Yup.

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
- Cptmjl

Yes indeed. Though I must admit, I’ll miss Dougie’s post game pressers.

Yup.
- Wildschwein

I hope that's what pushed Lou over the edge to just say "you know what? (frank) it, this entire thing is (frank)ed. everyone's fired, everyone get the (frank) out"

Garth and Doug make it so easy. Mildly- difficult might even be stretching things. Garth and Doug had every chance to succeed and they both blew it bigtime.

Sorry 7. We were right about Lou so does this cover me?

I’m sure the injuries were tossed around at Lou from Garth and Company, guess Lou didn’t give a shat

Do you think it was the Devon Toews injury excuse that pushed Lou over the edge?

Yes indeed. Though I must admit, I’ll miss Dougie’s post game pressers.

I watched i think three. I will not miss them. Watching msnbc was easier.

It creates such a beautiful mental picture.

"Doug, you've allowed more goals in the last week than any other team in history. Do you plan on addressing the goaltending issues at some point?"

Yeah, ancient Fischler, kiss-ass Staple and Shannon with her 3 questions a night. What a murders row of interviewers.

No, but that Devon Toews injury definitely caused Kate Spade to off herself

I watched every one I could. They were grade A cringe humour.

I truly believe they could've done a mediocre job and kept their jobs indefinitely. They really screwed the pooch

If DJ Smith gets the Isles job he will laugh at how easy the Isles press is compared to working in Toronto.

Especially Doug. How do you look even worse than Cappy as coach. It should be impossible.

He's going to sit around silent waiting for "the rest of the media" to show up, until someone informs him that the Islanders only recently had the number of beat writers covering them doubled...from one to two.

One less purse I have to select from when I (frank) up.
