What the $%#@!

Hey pens fans,
Well, at tleast that is what I though when I heard the news. Sorry, no huge Pens scoop, but what is going on with the Islanders? This is confusing me to no end. Most of you have probably heard about the abrupt firing of their GM Neil Smith, after only being on the job or about 6 weeks. Then in the same day, how at thee time goalie, Garth Snow retired to take the GM job. I am not sure about many things, regarding this.
1. Why was Smith fired? He was barley their long enough to impact anything. I know is has been said that the problems involved him feeling like he didn't have control, but is is bizarre.
2. Why Garth Snow? This is even more puzzling. He has no GM experience. Up until a few days ago he was slated o be the back up goalie. Why would they take him, when there are moree than a few qualified guys out there for the job, including former Penguin GM Craig Patrick and possibly even Pat Quinn.
This is just strange...
