"I had the opportunity to work with Lane over the past four years, which includes spending time with him on a one-on-one basis when he served as the interim Head Coach this past season," Islanders President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello said. "In my opinion, he is the right person to coach this team."
#Isles News: The New York Islanders announced today that Lane Lambert has been named Head Coach.

#NYI #Isles Meet the new voice/same as the old voice who had it made clear he had a contract if he wanted to keep working anywhere next season. Makes me wonder more why Trotz has to be replaced, confirms what Weight said in some ways.

#NYI #isles I like Lane Lambert and felt he was head coaching material, and NYI would lose him at some point. Having written that he was the the voice the players heard so how dramatic a change is this? It also saves money on a new staff for him.
