Greg Cronin joins Isles

Not much else to it, but...

Former #leafs assistant coach Greg Cronin has joined the #NYI in the same position, per @StapeNewsday.

So many memories, but here is my favourite:

"If you watch the game over again, watch the last three minutes. Did you know that Grabovski had the puck in Boston?s zone, behind the net, and they had no goalie in the net? It was 4-2, and there was just around 2 minutes to go in the game. I was not in any shape or form worried about being under assault like we were in Game 5. It just wasn?t happening. It wasn?t happening up until that point. We had the puck in their zone, and Grabovski turned the puck over" [editor's note: Grabovski pursued the puck behind the net with the net empty, but did not ever have possession of the puck to turn over].

Wow.  I don't think I ever saw that interview.  The line or two right after the Grabovski comment are really telling.  He didn't think the Bruins had sustained pressure in the final 10 minutes.  What game was he watching?

Yup. He clearly deserved to be fired.
