UNIONDALE, N.Y. – The New York Islanders, on the verge of missing their seventh straight postseason, fired coach Butch Goring today, replacing him on an interim basis with associate coach Lorne Henning.

General manager Mike Milbury informed the players after calling them to a meeting at the Nassau Coliseum at 9:15 a.m. this morning after a 6-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night at home.

The announcement will be made at a news conference at noon ET today at Nassau Coliseum.

The Islanders' loss Saturday was their fourth straight. They are in last place in the Atlantic Division with a 17-40-5-3 record, a distant 15 points behind the New York Rangers.

During Goring's tenure, the Islanders have a record of 41-89-14-4 record..

Rangers Suck!

God Damn!!! If the Islanders want to get settled as a franchise, they've gotta stop shaking things up. Mediocrity is all I really want. Anything more is a gift.

GORING DISMISSED AS HEAD COACH
Henning Named Interim Head Coach
(March 4) Butch Goring was relieved of his head coaching duties today. Associate coach Lorne Henning has been named interim head coach and Steve Stirling, a former assistant at Lowell (AHL) will join Greg Cronin as Henning's assistants. This will be Henning's second stint behind the Islanders' bench.


in my opinion, this was the wrong move. mike should go first. i don't give a shit what that chink wang thinks he should do about milbury, but firing butchie is the wrong move. the team just sucks this year, no way around it. they need some more players and some inspiration, and that isn't always the coach's fault.

yeah dragons, i know, but it wuz a stupid move and milbury sucks ass!
prolly the only good thing he did was bring in the afl team. at least there'll be something good to watch at the coliseum this summer :p but i know he's trying his best, i'm just really frustrated right now, and he wuz the first person i could think of to blame.
and the best part of this whole scenario? lornie's first game, as the isles come off a 6-0 thrashing, will be against none other than the NEW YORK RANGERS! at least we'll start getting back on track that way ;)
rangers suck.

best thing to come out of this is that next isles coach will prolly be...
Ted Nolan!!!
maybe he can make these guys win, even w/ a douchebag like milbury at the helm

I cant see two personalities like Milbury and Nolan coming together. Nolan doesnt get along well with his GM's and those two personalities would clash. Plus Milbury would be hesitant to hire him because he knows that his job is already in Jeopardy and Nolan is going to have his eyes on The GM job.

I guess the chinks hate Butch Goling and like Mike Mirebury.

Opie should tell Wong to fire Milbury. Opie has the stroke.
