Sather has been mailing it in for years and is getting a pass now because he lucked into playoff berths after the lockout. Remember they were one of the worst teams in the league before the lockout and managed to become competitive in the "new" NHL with Jagr getting a new lease on life with the calling of restraining fouls. Add Lunquist and there you go.
All that being said, at least Sather isn't Mike Milbury or Garth Snow and the Rangers aren't moving to Kansas City anytime soon. KC Islanders has a nice ring to it.

You are right about Lundqvist, he is the single reason that they still even have a chance to make the playoffs. And once your in, you could ride a hot goaltender for a while. I always think back to the North Stars riding Jon Casey to the cup final against the Penguins. Then the Pens exposed him as a fraud by lighting them up for like 8 goals a game.
As far as your Isles go, I don't even know where to begin. Millbury really was very Isiah like during is tenure there. Garth Snow isn't much better. I'm not sure who gave DiPietro the contract. But it might go down as the worst contact in sports history. But I will say this for the Isles, they seem to have some good young talent. They play hard and they are more fun to watch then the blueshirts. But the bottom line is will they be able to keep and afford all this talent down the road and attract primere free agents to Strong Island.
I really would hate to see them move, that would be a shame.
