Man, the Isles are the biggest joke of the NHL. Finally gets a decent coach in Nolan and now he's gone. I wonder who will bother to coach this team anymore?

This is a joke... a complete joke. I've been an Isles fan since I was was 6.. Used to go to the Cup parades back in the day. I even put up with the lean years, and an owner who turned out to be a fraud (Spano) - and even the idiot Milbury..

But this takes the cake. Garth Snow can't GM his way out of a paper bag. How can he say the team "underachieved", when there was no star player to even help the team "achieve" anything..

Snow needs to go..

I need to find a new team to root for now.......

Every time I get down being a Jackets fan, I can say "Hey, at least we don't have that idiot Wang/Snow running the show."

BTW, who is going to be the next coach? I see Gerard Gallant on the coaching staff...that cannot be good.

Nolan can't just can't by himself any type of break in the NHL anymore. Snow is the one that needs to be fired.

This is a good one.. Nolan said the team needed more talent (which is true).. Mr Smart Guy GM thought the team underachieved.. I think he took too many pucks to the head as a goalie..
