LOST ISLAND
It was just a year ago when the New York Islanders were one of the feel good stories of the league. Garth Snow had stepped in as general manager and despite the cat calls and mocking Snow did an admirable job. Ted Nolan was brought in as head coach and showed his worth turning around a floundering franchise and leading them into the playoffs. “Flash forward” to a year later and this team resembles a fish out of water flapping around for air. In the course of one year owner Charles Wang was heard shouting “We gotta go back Garth WE GOTTA GO BACK,” from the roof tops of the Nassau Memorial Coliseum.
