Islanders News: Stick a fork in ‘em
What a day for the Hamburglar.The New York Islanders, after yesterday afternoon’s tilt at UBS Arena, could be described as charitable.
Just seven months removed from the Stanley Cup Final, the Montréal Canadiens entered their game against the Islanders yesterday with just nine (9! A number so small I had to spell it out!) wins. A single-digit win count through 49 games.
They have ousted their lame-duck executives and coaches, replacing them with the guy that helped make the New York Rangers who they are today, a former player agent, and former NHL star whose coaching experience extends as far as pee-wee.
