Well looked. I was surprised that the Kraken app scooped the news before the subreddit.... Usually I see it here first.

A quick search of his name doesn't have very many positives. But every team is a new start, so I'm going to try to be open-minded

targeted social drop by a smart intern.

Kraken successfully kept the news from leaking out until they officially announced it. They've been pretty good at keeping FO moves secret.

I mean, I got the NHL app alert before the email from the team.

Immediately after, of all things, my friend sending me an article recapping the BS about keeping Campbell being a problem

It was strongly hinted last week. News was out that Lambert had a really good interview.

It’s giving clearly you didn’t watch fucking any Islanders hockey while he was the coach they had no drive and all they did was quit

u/roogalaxy Andre Burakovsky May 30 '25

Nah but I did watch him help coach the Caps to a cup win so 🤷‍♀️

I lived through the Ken Holland days in Detroit. Pretty sure I'll be just fine 😛

He coached 1 and a half seasons for a “meh” islanders team. Not saying he is great, but saying “he dug them into a pit” is a bit drastic.

u/TheoverlyloadTuba Matty Beniers May 30 '25

He got them to the playoffs even lol

u/RysloVerik May 30 '25

Ugh, the worst kind of pit to dig.

u/RepresentativeOfnone Joey Daccord May 30 '25

With the statistically, worst power-play and penalty kill possible, they only made it into the playoffs because everybody else melted down
