Nobody knows what happened except the guys in that room. You or I don't know what Smith agreed to when he first came on. How do you know for sure Wang said one thing and then did something else? Bottom line is you just don't know if you weren't in that room

A little snip it from the article......
"Wang set it up so each person would report directly to him. Every member of the front-office team has a role.

Smith wasn't used to that kind of setup, even though Wang said he was very clear about it up front. One point of contention was the hiring of an equipment manager. As GM, Smith thought that was his job. Wang decided all matters involving the team would be decided by Nolan."

Good point Vukota. If it's true that Pat called Wang to make peace Wang should have excepted. Why does Wang have to hold a grudge? If anythig Islander fans should hold a grudge with Wang with the way he has run this team.

I'm sure there is some truth to that but there are two sides to every story. That's all

I agree. I just wish there was a way our voices can be heard. For some reason people still shell out money for this guy

and most will, its to the point where I would rather them move and succeed somewhere else than him remain owner. This team will NEVER win with him as owner.

Alot of people want to believe these guys are doing the right thing, I'd like to believe it as well. Common sense prevented me from believing acouple years ago. Most people I know are done or almost done with this team. Most have been fans since the seventies. Its a disgrace

I think..gotta check on the TV in my room. Oddly enough that's the high end HD one and not the one in the living room.

Edit: yeah it's in HD

I still cannot figure out why there has not been record low attendance at these games? I'm going to the Brooklyn because it could be a one time thing but I'm not going to any other Islander game unless Wang starts to act like a real owner.

Nothing much Montoya can do about that one, except covering up Fayne's shot, but Sykora's pass was right on the money without hesitation.

You can tell exactly what he was going to say before the interview. I turned the TV off after that interview. It was a disgrace. He talks about Garth and Jack like they are multiple Cup winners.

At this point in time, all I want to see is Donovan have a good game. Always fun to see Tavares have one too, but we've all been dying to see what Donovan looks like with the big (I use that term loosely) club.
