Floundering at the bottom of the Patrick Division 24 games in after being the Cinderella of PHL9, taking out the Flyers and making it to the Conference Finals, Islanders GM Jim Dexter announced today the firing of long-time coach Tom Coolen and the subsequent hiring of Halifax NS native Rick Bowness. Bowness said that, " ... relished the opportunity to take over a team that hasn't cut the mustard so far this season and see if they can ketchup to the pace-setting Penguins!" Apparently, Bowness who had been out of hockey and working for Oscar Mayer, was brought in by GM Dexter for his ability to deal with "hot dogs" like G Sebastien Centomo, C Phil Kessel and RW Sam Gagner.
Tom Coolen = OUT Rick Bowness = IN
