And I have a feeling that Nolan won't get too many NHL coaching offers any time soon. Good move, Garth!

i'm tired of hearing this nonsense. it's all from one side and is essentially after-the-fact, CYA, character slamming spin from people who won't tell us who they are.
nothing positive or important comes from this stuff. it's drek and it doesn't matter anymore.

I love it. Snow can't get the job done building his team through free agents or trades, and Nolan pays the price.
Snow won't have Nolan to blame this year when Islanders tank.
Lets see if just shining Wang's boots will be enough to hold his job this time.

What happened to managements idea of keeping in-house issues in-house? It is clearly an attempt to sway fans and justify another step backwards.

He can all the hockey minds with more experience and time in front office positions be so wrong and Garth and Wang be right? smells like bad suesie to me.

Typical dysfunctional garbage from the greatest collection of incompetent twits assembled in any organization in the NHL.

10 years of top 10 1st round picks and nothing to show for it...yeah; that must have been Nolan's fault too...Snow wants to develop his own talent through the draft; and promptly trades DOWN his #5 pick in the draft...

I'm so disgusted with this organization.

Just the teams idea of making Nolan look bad. This is now the new MO say one thing but do another. Snow is a moron and this team sucks. Can't wait to see the attendance figures this year. Wang please sell the team and put us out of misery!

All you experts that know all about the inner working of the Isles, why don't you take all your knowledge and cheer for one of the other 29 teams out there.

Wow, I'm sorry everyone forgot how high and mighty you are TMC and that you are always right. Do you realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinions? Just because they aren't your own does not give you the right to personally attack other fans. Stop personally attacking fans of the same team you root for, it's disgraceful. Now I can understand why you were kicked off HFboards.

I have been an Islander fan for 30 years and season ticket holder for 7. I am not getting season tickets because of philosophical differences. How does that sound? Frank Esposito, former 309 D5

You can argue against plenty of things that the Isles organization has done without sounding like whining, complaining babies. Try it, I might even agree with many of your points.

This article is just another leak from the Isles media plants to slime Nolan and make the fans think they've made a good decision by letting go of the only respected hockey mind in the whole damn organization. Shame on any so-called Isles fans who buy this low class hogwash.

Wang is a failure as an owner and backup goalie (with a few business credits of U Maine) Garth is a joke as a GM. Anyone who cant see it is going heavy on the blue and orange kool aid.

Ive had it with this team after 25 years of "rebuilding". Take your BS stories somewhere else.

25 years of rebuilding they won a cup 25 years ago and made the finals 24 years ago. Also made it to the third round 15 years ago. I know its been a while but atleast get your numbers straight.

How can Snow say the team underachieved? Even a back up goalie that was inexplicitly made GM could look at his 07-08 roster and see it was filled with scrubs and has-beens.

Daily Horoscope for January 4

Pisces

Family, friends and in-laws are all hard to please. It is better to please yourself for once, dear Pisces, than to bang your head against a wall. You need to relax and get in touch with your own feelings. Do not hesitate to speak up for someone you care about. Someone may try to curtail your freedom. Set them straight and do not give in.
