After the New York Islanders appointed Lou Lamoriello as the President of Hockey Operations on May 22, 2018, the fan base turned their gaze to GM Garth Snow. How long would Lou Lamoriello keep the veteran GM in the job?
Exactly two weeks after Lou was hired, Garth Snow was removed from his duties as Islanders GM. A role Snow had held for nearly 12 years. After more than a decade, there would be a new person in the GM chair for the Islanders.
After years of complaints from fans, which included billboards that clearly indicated how fans felt, Garth Snow was gone and a new era could begin.
