Flyers Lookback: Garth Snow's Time in Philadelphia

Flyers Lookback: Garth Snow's Time in Philadelphia

November 26th, 2020 There are quite a few noteworthy goalies who played aggressively and were not afraid to drop the gloves throughout the NHL's history. One of the toughest goalies of all-time is Billy Smith, who helped the New York Islanders claim four straight Stanley Cup championships in the 1980s. The late Ray Emery squared off multiple times during...
Flyers Finally Have Stability at Goalie Position

Flyers Finally Have Stability at Goalie Position

October 20th, 2020 The Philadelphia Flyers recently signed goaltender Brian Elliott to a one-year contract extension, meaning general manager Chuck Fletcher will keep his goalie tandem of Carter Hart and Elliott intact for a third consecutive season. Brian Elliott, Philadelphia Flyers (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers) That is a big deal for a...
Analyzing Isles GM Garth Snow's Past Drafts

Analyzing Isles GM Garth Snow's Past Drafts

July 20th, 2020 Garth Snow became the general manager of the New York Islanders after Neil Smith was let go just over a month into his tenure in July 2006. It was a surprise to many people considering Snow was named GM immediately following his retirement from the NHL. While his tenure was a mixed bag, he was fairly successful on the draft floor,...
Will Garth Snow Get a Second Chance at GM Job?

Will Garth Snow Get a Second Chance at GM Job?

August 18th, 2019 It’s been over a year since Garth Snow was removed as New York Islanders team president and general manager in favour of Lou Lamoriello. Snow sightings in an official Islanders capacity have been limited to the 2018 Draft ever since. But could the senior advisor to the president and general manager emerge as a legitimate GM candidate...
Islanders Still Hurting from Nielsen Loss

Islanders Still Hurting from Nielsen Loss

April 3rd, 2018 At the start of the free-agency period in the summer of 2016, the New York Islanders started to look different. As the team began to take shape, fans quickly ran to Twitter to voice their displeasure and concern. It hurt to all at once lose some of the more passionate players on the team. The visible grit and determination that Matt...
“Snow Must Go” Movement Catches On

“Snow Must Go” Movement Catches On

February 16th, 2018 A lot of New York Islanders fans have finally reached their breaking point with general manager Garth Snow. Things reached a boiling point as fans loudly and raucously chanted “Snow Must Go” during the Isles 4-1 lopsided loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday night. They surrendered a whopping 51 shots on goal. It was another...
John Tavares, Kirk Cousins and the Sharks

John Tavares, Kirk Cousins and the Sharks

February 13th, 2018 As San Jose Sharks fans keep a close eye on the insane race for playoff spots in the Western Conference, there are probably a few also keeping an eye on what is happening on the other side of the country. The Sharks management certainly is, with the Feb. 26 trade deadline quickly approaching. For the Sharks, one player stands...
New York Islanders' Mid-Year Report

New York Islanders' Mid-Year Report

January 21st, 2018 We are now well over the halfway point in the 2017-18 New York Islanders season. Through the first 47 games there have been some high points, but plenty of lows. Offensively, the team is a juggernaut in which their top-six forwards are playing extremely well. On the defensive side, it's the complete opposite. Injuries, inexperience and...
Someone's to Blame for Islanders Recent Skid

Someone's to Blame for Islanders Recent Skid

January 8th, 2018 When Doug Weight was promoted to head coach in the offseason, the hope was the New York Islanders could pick up right where they left off. Weight took over for former head coach Jack Capuano about halfway through last season, and guided the Islanders to a 24-12-4 record. After a strong finish, Weight was rewarded with an...
Is John Tavares Going to Waste on the Islanders?

Is John Tavares Going to Waste on the Islanders?

November 27th, 2017 With the Islanders looking less and less like a Cup contender as the 2015-16 season winds to a close, a familiar feeling has crept up within the team’s fanbase. The organization may be wasting the prime of John Tavares’ career. Since drafting the wunderkind in 2009, the Islanders have made the playoffs two times in six seasons....
Ho-Sang Demotion Cause for Panic or Patience?

Ho-Sang Demotion Cause for Panic or Patience?

November 1st, 2017 When the Islanders announced last week that they were demoting Josh Ho-Sang to their AHL-affiliate Bridgeport Sound Tigers, Isles fans took to social media (especially Twitter) to express their vehement opposition to the move.  A 21-game stint last season provided glimpses of Ho-Sang’s game-breaking and play-making ability. His...
Off the Crossbar: Isles & Sabres Petition to Decline Power Plays

Off the Crossbar: Isles & Sabres Petition to Decline Power Plays

October 24th, 2017 Drastic times call for drastic measures. The Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders power play units are so inept this year that general managers Jason Botterill and Garth Snow have appealed to League Commissioner Gary Bettman for permission to decline penalties called against their opponents. “We’re better off playing...
Rumor Rundown: Islanders' First-Rounder and Player to Golden Knights

Rumor Rundown: Islanders' First-Rounder and Player to Golden Knights

June 20th, 2017 It is rumored that there are four potential teams giving their first-round draft picks to the Vegas Golden Knights as part of their plan to protect as many of their current roster as possible. Those teams are the New York Islanders, Columbus Blue Jackets, Anaheim Ducks and Tampa Bay Lightning. The New York Islanders may be in a bit of...
Calvin de Haan: A Bright Spot on the Blue Line

Calvin de Haan: A Bright Spot on the Blue Line

May 24th, 2017 Islanders defenseman Calvin de Haan has concluded the most successful season of his career and was rewarded. Although the Islanders fell just short of a playoff appearance at the end of last season, there has been an impressive showing on the blue line in de Haan, who has become a valuable piece of the Islanders' success. Most...
Not Too Long a Weight; Isles Pick Doug

Not Too Long a Weight; Isles Pick Doug

April 12th, 2017 Three days ago, Doug Weight used the following words to describe his tenure as interim head coach of the New York Islanders this season: "exhilarating, challenging, fun, very fortunate." What he didn't say was whether he wanted the full-time gig itself. After meeting face to face with Islanders GM Garth Snow and team ownership,...
