UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CP) - The fallout continues on Long Island.

New York Islanders senior adviser Pat LaFontaine advised Islanders owner Charles Wang on Tuesday night that he is resigning, a source told The Canadian Press.

LaFontaine was hired on June 8, the same day the Islanders hired Ted Nolan as their new coach and Neil Smith as general manager.

The Hall of Famer played for Nolan in Buffalo and Smith with the Rangers.

In the wake of Smith's stunning firing on Tuesday, LaFontaine handed his resignation to Wang following the news conference.


This team's front office is breaking down!

Whoops, I didn't see that this was already posted. Ignore this if you want.

So tomorrow should we expect Nolan to quit as well and Snow to name his enlarged pads as his replacement?

What the hell is Wang doing to the Islanders?Isn't Nolan a GM killer?

Pat's job was just a token position anyway. Wang wants to run this like a bussiness he will get rid of nothing positions like that.
