Radio personality ranks NY Islanders Lou Lamoriello second worst General Manager in NY sports

The landscape of professional sports in New York in terms of championships is reaching an all-time low. Of the nine teams to play in the four major sports in the United States, the New York Giants are the most recent team to bring a title back to The Big Apple, last doing so in 2011. NYCFC of the MLS did so in 2021, but soccer, despite its growing popularity in this country, falls outside the other four sports.

The NY Islanders haven't won a Stanley Cup Championship since 1983, but have found their most success since that time over the last decade under Lou Lamoriello, despite his age and a portion of the team's fan base unhappy with his body of work.

Yesterday, on WFAN's Evan & Tiki Show, each member of the show revealed their annual President/GM rankings of the nine major sports franchises in New York, with co-host Shaun Morash drawing the ire of Isles nation.

Morash ranked Lamoriello eight out of nine GM's, ahead of only Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees.

When Morash's list is revealed, co-host Evan Roberts jumped to Lamoriello's defense bringing up the fact the 81-year-old GM brought the team to back-to-back Semi/Conference Finals, with Morash asking what he's done since.

"The team is a dumpster fire," claimed Morash. "They built a new arena and they can't get anyone to sign there... It's a major issue what he's got going on there."

First of all, it's important to take Morash's rankings with a grain of salt. He is a known New York Rangers fan and typically likes to dump on the Islanders whenever he finds an opportunity. On top of that, he named Rangers GM Chris Drury as his top GM in NY sports.

Though his rankings may be off the wall, this is about as much hockey talk as we'll hear over the radio airwaves during the dog days of summer.
