Gordon is losing the team. Between Witt and Comrie, now who's next to say something? The thing is, Garth won't fire Gordon because he was the one to convince Wang Gordon was the better man than Nolan for the future of this club. Wang needs to fire both. Bring in Lavy and a real GM. |

And there you have it, the word comes out "PROBLEM". I'll go on and keep trusting my instincts about this team. I saw this coming, and many of you just thought I was coming out of left field. We'll see who speaks up next. And we'll see what kind of damage control the Islanders pull off. They'll be adding alot more mind altering drugs to that next batch of Kool-Aid. |

Steve.... that's fine. I see your point, but I don't agree with it. The Ducks weren't built for a long haul. They were built for that one season, he hit paydirt and has moved on to what he hopes will be greener pastures. Now, he WILL have to build through the draft because he has no other options in Toronto. They have no parts to deal off for quality players, so he won't be able to add pieces through trade. Might he get some FA talent...not top flight with all the bad contracts the Leafs are still paying off.I do think his "rep", which I think is overinflated" would help bring bigger talent to Toronto, but lets face it...Toronto hasn't brought in a great FA yet that's lived up to it. He is on his 4th stop as GM and has only one deep run into the playoffs...and it netted him a ring. IF he didn't have that ring, would he still have that rep in your mind? After all, Neil Smith has a ring but no job nearly a decade after the Rags canned him. |

The whole Gordon hiring was for Snow's ego and Resume. Just like his filtering of Milbury's prospects for his "shady" trades and overall out of left field drafting. He wants to look like a hero, but I honestly believe he has no clue to what he is doing, just taking shots in the dark in hopes some of them hit. Now we all know why Nolan wasn't behind the rebuild plan with Snow at the helm. Make Lavy the GM, bring back Nolan as head coach.

wtf are you talking about? Snow drafted 7 of the top 73 rated skaters and 5 of the top 35 rated in the draft last year. It is considered by most "experts" as a top 5 draft the Isles had last year. As far as dealing with MM's "prospects"...what prospects did MM leave us with? The cupboard was empty thanks to him. Sorry but Nolkie and Nillsen had to go. They weren't doing anything here. They were terrible first round picks. So was Bergenheim. (like his hustle but he wasn't top 20 talent) For someone who is falling all over themselves praising Nolan, remember that it was Nolan who didn't want to call up Robert Nillsen because he didn't think he was nhl material... |

Snowday just to interject where I live and love were having a Snowday 1. You are correct - Snow is just seeing what works, now lets try this 2. Make Lavy the GM, bring back Nolan as head coach

Bring back Steve Stirling! Nolan had ONE decent season with the Islanders. ONE. That does not qualify him as a worthwhile coach. If I have to read about "Ted Nolan type players" again.... ugh. Why would you make Lavy the GM? Based on what credentials that Garth Snow doesn't have? Lavy was a coach... won a cup... got fired... I'm sure he knows his fair share of players around the league... but what experience says that he is better than Snow? Snow's drafting chops were excellent, but Islander fans want instant rebuild. I don't think Gordo is losing the locker room. Two players making statements that get misrepresented on a message board does not constitute a lost locker room. The team is slumping. Players are feeling down. Frustration sets in and makes people critical because they know it's a team effort to keep these wins from happening. |
