 02/12/2012 – Ed Westfall
  Former Islanders Captain Talks about his Career

The Talk of New York Sports host Bill Donohue spoke with former Islander Eddie Westfall, who talked about his Boston Bruins days, playing alongside Hall of Famers Gerry Cheevers, Johnny Bucyk, Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito on a club that won 2 Stanley Cups in 3 years. Eddie then spoke about his time on Long Island, when he brought his versatility and penalty-killing skills to the Islanders in the expansion draft, where where he was named the club’s first captain, scoring the Isles first goal ever in their first game ever! Ed and Bill then delved into the prelude to glory, when Al Arbour took the reigns as coach and Bill Torrey was putting the building blocks in place (“blocks” named Trottier, Bossy, Potvin, Gillies, Nystrom, etc.), architecting the dynasty that would go on to win 4 Stanley Cups. .

 Scott Gordon Fired As Isles Head Coach

The New York Islanders today fired Head Coach Scott Gordon, and named Jack Capuano as interim head coach. Capuano has been the Islanders head coach for the team’s AHL affiliate Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Gordon will remain in the Islander organization as a special advisor to the general manager. The team is currently in the midst of a 10-game winless streak, prompting the move by Islanders GM Garth Snow.

I had a chance to speak with the Islanders new interim head coach back at the start of the 2007-08 season, when he was just starting his first year as head coach of the Sound Tigers.
