Too fucking funny of a headline. Would have been even funnier, had it not been revealed that Nabby hung up b/c he didn't know who he was talking to at first.Nabokov hangs up on Islanders GM Snow
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP)—New York Islanders general manager Garth Snow says goalie Evgeni Nabokov(notes) hung up on him shortly after the veteran goalie was claimed off waivers on Saturday.
Snow reached out to the 35-year-old Nabokov shortly after the Islanders claimed him from the Detroit Red Wings—the team with which Nabokov signed a one-year contract on Thursday. Snow said when he identified himself on the phone, Nabokov immediately hung up.
Snow finally talked to Nabokov on Sunday and was told that Nabokov didn’t realize who he was speaking to when abruptly ending the call.
Nabokov failed to report to the Islanders, clearly disappointed that he won’t be joining the Stanley Cup-contending Red Wings. Instead he is now under contract with the Islanders, who are far out of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Nabby still not planning on reporting to Long Island.
