This week, reports surfaced that the presence of the former President and GM Lou Lamoriello has hindered the Islanders' General Manager search. Can the Islanders risk having him around as they search for a new GM and prepare for the First Overall pick of the 2025 NHL Draft?
Also the NHL Playoffs provide more moments of shock and awe as Vegas Golden Knights' forward Reilly Smith scored with 0.4 seconds remaining against the Edmonton Oilers! And who is in control of the Florida Panthers / Toronto Maple Leafs series?

The New York Rangers ended their most disappointing season ever in humiliating fashion, and our crew expands to bring in @rangerscental and Jonny Lazarus from @DailyFaceoff to discuss why the New York Rangers FAILED this season, how they can come back next season, and is it time for the New York Rangers to reboot the team. We break down with stats and our expertise to tell New York Rangers fans what they need to do to succeed in the future!

The New York Islanders President and GM Lou Lamoriello have decided to part ways after the GREAT SUCCESS the GM brought the Islanders in his tenure. Was the New York Islanders a failure under him, or did Lou Lamoriello change the culture of the franchise for generations to come?
