Islanders Continue Hiring Mediocre Goalies For Management Positions

The Islanders hired Scott Gordon to be their coach on Tuesday.

Who? Exactly.

Okay, maybe that's not entirely fair. Gordon was the Coach of the Year last season.

In the AHL.

But still, he was Coach of the Year!

What makes this curious to me is that there are loads of proven, qualified, energetic coaches out there right now, like Paul Maurice, John Tortorella, etc.

Ah, wait, I think I've figured it out... Gordon was a mediocre goalie who had a 2-16 career record with a 5.60 GAA for the Nordiques back in the late '80s. And Garth Snow was at the same training camp.

Look for Ron Hextall as Head of Nassau Colesium Security, Mike Liut as Head Concession Stand Manager and Bob Froese as team chaplain.
