Islanders News: Staff stasis, Coliseum cluster, Brock Nelson to Prague, exeunt

These are things we will read and discuss while the period of mourning continues:

• The exit interviews complete and the banners folded up, Garth Snow spoke about the disappointment of the season's end, a few things to analyze/improve, and keeping Jack Capuano and the rest of the coaching staff. [Newsday | LHH]
• More from the final exit interviews: Yes, Frans Nielsen was playing injured, Kyle Okposo actually had a second eye surgery during his layoff, and Brock Nelson is headed to the World Championships in Prague. [LHH]
• John Tavares took the loss harder than anyone, and I think we need to hug him. [Newsday | NHL | Puck Daddy | Post] (The Post link includes this doozie: "a top-pair defenseman to pair with star Travis Hamonic would be tipping point. The second pair of Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy is sturdy.")
• P.S. The Isles are moving to Brooklyn and that will be an adjustment. [Times]
• P.P.S. That means the final game at the Coliseum was bittersweet. [Sports on Earth]
• P.P.P.S. They leave behind a Coliseum whose renovation is still all kinds of who-when-how now? [Newsday | LHH]
• Some cool family history and current roster talk ahead of the move to Brooklyn. [Fanpost by BCISLEMAN]
• This was only a matter of time: The Post talks to Sydney Esiason on how her dad deals with her dating Matt Martin. [Post]
