Lou Lamoriello won three Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils, but it's the two that got away that he still thinks about at night.

"I probably remember most the ones we didn't win that we should have won," Lamoriello said in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.

Championship or bust, that's the Lamoriello standard. As of Tuesday, it's officially the Islanders standard too.

The New York Islanders announced today the hiring of Lou Lamoriello as President of Hockey Operations. He will have full authority over all hockey matters with the organization.  

"We are grateful to Larry Tanenbaum and the Toronto Maple Leafs for their courtesy in allowing this move," Managing Partner of the Islanders, Scott Malkin said. "We are committed to giving Lou every resource and the full support of the entire organization as we pursue our program to compete at the highest level."

Cal Clutterbuck is the Islanders resident golf pro and while he crashes and bangs on the ice, he's got a pretty soft touch around the green. He's pretty good - even ranked fifth among pro athletes by Golf Digest in 2015. 

On Monday, Clutterbuck was part of a select group of local athletes who had a chance to swing the sticks at Shinnecock Hills, the site of the 118th US Open later this summer. Paired in a group with New York Rangers defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, Clutterbuck got to test out the course before the PGA pros descend in June.

The USHL is the nation's top junior league and is among the largest feeder systems at the NHL Draft each year. The USHL draft selects players from North America and Europe. 

"Having seven players selected in the draft from one organization on Long Island and wearing the Islander jersey shows the strides we are making," PAL Islanders Director of Player Evaluation Bob Thornton said.

If you're a Friends fan like Jordan Eberle, you know all about the lightning round. Well the Islanders forward found himself in a lightning round the other day, answering as many questions as he could in 100 seconds in an interview with the IIHF. The topics ranged from music, to style to hockey cards and questions about his teammates. They teed them up and Eberle knocked them down. Enjoy.
