The Islanders have relieved GM Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight of their duties. Lou will take over general manager duties and begin a coaching search. The team said both Snow and Weight will remain with the Islanders. Lou is back to his Devils level of power. [TSN] [Sportsnet]
Lou on re-signing John Tavares:
Lou Lamoriello, on how today's #NYI firings may impact his ability to extend John Tavares: "That certainly has not and did not enter into any of the decisions that were made."

That one little phrase just brings a tear to the eye:
Lou Lamoriello said "culture change" needed with #Isles, why he relieved Garth Snow and Doug Weight. As of now, everything else "status quo" in terms of personnel, meaning assistants have not been relieved.

Will Lou bring back a familiar name?
Would not be shocked if Scott Stevens becomes a candidate to join #Isles coaching staff..

With a win in Game 4, the Capitals are just one win away from the Stanley Cup. The series goes back to Vegas, where the Golden Knights will try to keep their magical run alive. [ESPN]
How conflict-free has Vegas' season been so far? Its current three-game losing streak in the final equals its longest skid all season (and in franchise history, haha). Golden Knights entering their deepest waters ever now.
