It sounds like we finally have a foundation to build up from. Nolan did zippo for the team, nuff said! lets move on from the past look toward a better futre, this is not going to happen overnight, it may take a season or two before some fans see what they want to see..a run for the "cup" If what's being said here comes to pass and the coaches and players do their thing we should see some promising hockey being played, skill, speed, better defense, goals..etc) fingers crossed! :) This is good to read, good to hear.

They sat on a stage together and lied to everyone. As Mr Botta wrote they both share the blame in their conduct. As for the part about Nolan he got sick in the building he was living in for a short time because of mold or something and it lingered which was in a Long Island paper with his wife's comments. I tried to answer to why he was not in Bridgeport as he was during his first season, after early Decmeber his club was virtually never off. Just because someone leaves does not make them a bad person or wrong, in this case both Garth Snow and Ted Nolan handled things very poorly. Thank You Both Nolan and Snow put on a terrible show.

All Nolan cared about was himself. What a surprise not one single team went any where near him when he became available. Please with he had problems with his building, that's comical.

I now have to believe that he wasn't going to use Bridgeport if he did not have to. I also think that because he was not being offered a contract extension before his final year also led to his passiveness towards the organization. In all honesty Nolan is the past...move on. We know Capuano will be in constant communication with Gordon, and that's what counts. All it takes is one phone call a week, to keep updated.

Bergenheim was in Europe at that time so technically speaking until Frans Nielsen or Jeremy Colliton prove that incorrect, let's give Ted Nolan's judgement it's due. Jack Capuano based on how he played Dustin Kohn also seemed to feel the same by his actions. Ted Nolan did travel to Albany during his second season to check on Brandon Nolan after his concussion but also it has to be said after the Washington game in December this team did not have three days off in a row almost the rest of the season with that schedule that saw them play three games in about twenty days. Nolan himself also got sick for a short time last year with some problems he had with the building he moved into according to another article. Mr Botta,

The key to building a winning organization is to first to develop the kids that you do have but also, to have the same style of play in the minors as you do with the big club so when a player is called up, he won't miss a beat. The Devils were great at this with their farm club. When the lost a player, someone came up and it was like interchangeable parts. Devils lose Holik and Madden was right there to fill the void...Devils lost Guerin and Shanahan and they had Sykora and Rolston right there to fill that void..Sykora is gone, Elias stepped right in, Rolston goes and its Gionta...Nydemyer leaves, Rafalski was there..etc etc. Its why they've been so great since 1994. The Isles are on the right step to success, they can't waver from it. Great!
