Isles vs Red Wings 1/30

<p>Is there any buzz in New York yet about this game? First time Nolan gets a look at Hasek since he pretty much ran him out of the game. I am hoping to pick it up here in Buffalo. </p><p>Just wondering if the press has floated any of the back story yet? </p>

it's tough to get buzz started where the Islanders are concerned.

The sad thing is that Nolan is a fucking great coach too.&nbsp; He burned a shitload of bridges on his way out of Buf that he was really blacklisted after it all went down and it did indeed take a crazy owner/org to take a shot on him.&nbsp; Thanks for the reminder as I'll definitely check it out.&nbsp; However, it's not like Hasek is a good guy as he has plenty of bullshit linked to him over the years.&nbsp; I met him once and he was a classic douche.&nbsp;
