New York Islanders fans likely learned what it entailed to cheer for the New Jersey Devils while general manager Lou Lamoriello manned Jersey’s front office for almost three decades.
The Hall of Famer always ran a tight ship in New Jersey and players didn’t experience the same media exposure as other skaters from around the NHL. Lamoriello wasn’t a spotlight person, either. It seemed he was never one to make public or media appearances and kept his distance from the fans.
What’s interesting is that Lamoriello and the Islanders hosted a mailbag via Twitter this past week.
