Anyone mention Garth Snow yet?

I think that guy is a P.O.S., personally, the guy wore over sized pads and in my opinion was a giant ass hat. Other than that, he was a good goalie. :)

But didn't Garth Snow do a great job rebuilding the Islanders...that gigantic contract for Rick DiPietro...AWESOME!

Speaking of which, DiPietro hasn't been mentioned yet...Boston University.

The DiPietro contract is on Charles Wang -- the Islanders owner.

I know Phil Lamoureax would have stopped the second Chicago goal tonight. To me that makes him NHL quality... ;)

Unless Nate Gerbe was shooting. Then probably not........ :sad:

The deal was unofficially agreed to before Snow became the GM. The signing was held up due to insurance issues.

DiPietro signed a one-year deal the year before his 15-year deal. Snow was a cheerleader for the contract and was giddy about it at the press conference where the deal was announced.

DiPietro and Wang talked about a 15-year deal last summer when DiPietro expressed he wanted to spend his entire career with the Islanders, who made the Boston University freshman the first goalie chosen with the No. 1 pick in the 200 draft.

But hurdles regarding insurance of the contract killed those plans, and they agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.

Both sides were pressed to come to a new agreement quickly as the Islanders open training camp this week in Nova Scotia. Wang has a policy that players who aren't signed in time for camp won't play during the season.

Thanks, I'm familiar with that particular article and the history behind the contract. I'm not defending Wang at all (boy that sounds funny, doesn't it?) but Snow could have talked some sense into the old coot before signing off on the deal. Instead, he was happy to retire from playing and step right into a GM job thanks to his goofball owner. Like I said, Snow was a cheerleader...

Former Sioux goalies that played in the NHL are (as best I can recollect):

Bob Iwabucci (North Stars)

Darren Jensen (Flyers)

Jon Casey (North Stars/Blues)

Ed Belfour (Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers)

Don't forget Ed's stint with the Sharks. :)
