Holy shit!!!!!!

 

[MikeyMike01]

Now what will the shrieking lunatics among us complain about?

 

[SI90]

Scott Malkin you are a savage!!! Thank you Lou for all your contributions.

Now, send his son chris with him.

I hope they really think long and hard and find the right guy. Last thing we need is a Drury situation.

Also, I hope the new general manager and/or President gives Roy a chance.

 

[SI90]

Also, why John Collins?

 

[SI90]

Beards and High numbers are so back!!! lol

Now I can get my #71 Cal Ritchie jersey lol

This is excited and scary.

 

[sebsisles]

[JJ18Sniper]

[ekill08x]

[SI90]

was just about to text you! haha

So Bottta was right

 

[HajdukSplit]

Had to be done, last few years has been terribly mismanaged, overall he did a decent job (looking at the entire tenure) but change was needed

Now what will the shrieking lunatics among us complain about?

Seems like the ownership agreed with the majority of the fan base and national people covering the sport that the GM had done a poor job the last 4 years and needed to go.

Maybe the few people still defending his recent work in 2025 were the lunatics all along?

What a relief.

 

[sebsisles]

Maybe its time for an Isles fan discord haha!

 

[SI90]

Damn my Guy Palmieri was all set to return. They didn’t let Lou give him and Boqvist 8 year deals.

There is one on HF Boards' Discord but nobody really took to it from the Isles section when the site went down.

Engvall saw the writing on the wall and made sure to get that long term deal last offseason

 

[islesmb]

@periferal Let's go buddy!!! Yes Yes Yes!

If anyone would be interested in it I can make a discord server

I honestly think Roy will be the GM, or at least move to an assistants role. He indicated in his presser last year if I recall correctly something like I would like to be in the front office eventually.

 

[2000 Solo Cup Champ]

This was the only way to stop him from trading all their draft picks

 

[saintunspecified]

Good. It was time.

As someone who grew up a Isles, Mets, Knicks, and Jets fan (lol) I'd say that LL's tenure with NYI is easily in the top 25th percentile. Again, It was time, but it's been alright.

Hard pass on that
