Islanders Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 16 May 2008 02:17:53 PDT

Ted Nolan seems resigned that he's not going to be re-signed any time soon.

Nolan's future as head coach of the Islanders remains muddled, a notion he confirmed in a recent published report. Speaking at a Canadian awards banquet May 2, Nolan said he expects to enter the 2008-09 season as a lame-duck coach and without a contract extension.

"It's a tough situation," Nolan told the Sault Star. "But I've faced a lot of tough situations before. I just want to go into next season, concentrate on fulfilling my contract, do a great job and make sure I get another contract somewhere."

Nolan's use of "somewhere" doesn't sound promising regarding his expectation to coach the Isles beyond this season.

Johan Franzen's second hat trick in three games fueled Detroit's 8-2 rout of Colorado on Thursday night that completed a sweep of the injury-riddled Avalanche. Franzen's nine goals in the series matched Colorado's total, and his three goals in Game 4 made him the first player with two hat tricks in one series since Jari Kurri did it for Edmonton in 1985.

Several of the current San Jose Sharks still remember the nagging ache of uncertainty that a team gets when it has three victories in a playoff series, but just can't nail down the fourth. The Sharks had it four years ago against Colorado, and they're hoping to give it to the Dallas Stars on Friday night in Game 5 of a second-round series that's still one San Jose mistake away from ending.
