NHL 2024 - 2025 Out of Town III: Islanders remove Lou Lamoriello

[GordonHowe]

After firing 3rd coach in 4 years, Rangers GM Chris Drury stands alone — and is running out of cards to play

This can't be the way to run a team, where coaches and players and even staffers are fearful of what's coming next.

It was both cool and bizarre seeing Claude and Montgomery on St. Louis' bench.

Nice Winnipeg pulled it out; Kyle Connor to the rescue. Hellebuyck will need to be sharper moving forward.

I forget the number Eddie O gave - is that eight straight Game One losses for Dallas? Blackwood was great and outplayed Oettinger. Backing into the playoffs is a risky proposition, as the B's learned two years ago.

Speaking of which, curious to see what happens in Washington. The Caps completely took their foot off the gas weeks ago, while Montreal has essentially been playing playoff games. It has the feel of being a repeat of Florida/Boston 2023, with 8 upsetting 1.

Florida also sputtered toward the end, and Tampa matches up.well with them.

Only way Montreal beats Washington is if their PP is lights out (30%+).

I like both Bizz and Subban. I know I’m part of a small club.

Bylsma is an average to below average coach so that's fine, but why are they firing/promoting Francis for Jason Botteril.!?! That is like replacing a Volkswagon with a Pinto for safety reasons.

Not much growth under Francis, he made moves but are they any better under his leadership.

I mean he had a clean sheet of paper to start that team.

What is this playing with my brothers obsession in Vancouver?

First the Sedins and now Quinn Hughes.

I still can't believe Sullivan healthy scratched him for the 4 Nations final.

There are many reasons to stay away from a Sullivan-Bruins reunion, but that one is at the top of my list.

I get nauseous every time I see Connor score a goal. What could have been...

McDavid went 1 and Edmonton traded 16 with Connor available for one one Chiarelli’s buddies kids who never made it (33 as well)

Yea, Really what was PC and Edmonton thinking, passing up on Connor, dam I couldn't imagine anyone doing that.

The wrong Reinhart

Thanks!

Wow

It’s amazing he’s had such a long career in hockey. Will Lou finally retire or try to keep working?

So long as there are hockey players that need to be told to shave every morning, there will always be a place for him somewhere.
