In a classy move, Islanders coach Ted Nolan has asked the former Islander great, Al Arbour, to step behind the bench one more time on November 3rd. Arbour is 74 years old and will mark his 1500th game that night, having gone down in NHL history at 1499 for some 24 years now, he last coached back in 1983 and the wonder years of the Islanders.Nolan felt it was important for Arbour to reach the milestone. Nolan will also be behind the bench because Arbour admits he doesn't really know the players. They will be going against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins that night.
