Better chance for a Cup tho. So who knows. Plus Tavares’ name is about to get run into the ground in Toronto.
Of course i don’t. They play the most boring games ever. It’s good if you wanna fall asleep

NYI head coach Patrick Roy, that wasn't on my 2024 bingo card.
Will be interesting to see how he's developed from his coaching gig with the Avs, it's going to be entertaining for sure.

Keep going, your ignorance is being exposed the more you post.

In his case, Roy proved it to be true between his two stints in the QMJHL. He became a better and more structured coach. He also calmed down. Roy’s problem the first time wasn’t with his players unlike Babcock.

He’s the Leafs contract problems, let him stay there so they can deal with him. The Isles don’t want anything to do with him. That Willy Styles guy however would look great alongside Barzal and Horvat or Brock Nelson.

Pulock was NYI's best defensemen last playoffs...and Pelech looks like he's still finding his legs or not playing to get hurt.
I also think the Pelech-Pulock pairing is greater than the sum of it's parts.

Posts like these are always so entertaining. Where can I get this level of false confidence in an unknown future?
It certainly is and has been a system roster for several years now. Low on talent, high on effort. A new coach is not likely to change the result.

He has done well as a coach with Quebec and Colorado did pretty well when he was there. He has coached in the NHL so he won't treat his players like teenagers. He didn't take the job just to be the coach. He will want to be the next GM.

Roy bringing the Juice
The fifth year of Trotz's contract was built into the first four. Trotz and LL both knew that Trotz would never coach as a lame duck again. Insisting it wasn't a mutual decision is ignorant or stupid. LL didn't say as much (he says nothing ever), but Trotz implied it. And the fact that Trotz never got back into coaching confirmed it. No fired coach ever had as much nice to say about his former boss/team than Trotz.
Unrelatedly, this is going to be fun, I think.

Great move for for the Islanders.
We have a Kids league coach as ours head coach. Can you get any worst.
Was not expecting that, especially with Roy's previous relationship with his GM and the new GM been Lou...
Also he is now one of the owners of the Bordeaux Boxers in the top league in France?

They should have kept Trotz. He was dealt a bad hand with Covid, 13 game road trip to start season, injuries, etc. He masked their inadequacies and deserved to start last season with an even playing field. I don't buy most fan's tidy little narrative that "he didn't want to coach" or "he had personal issues"
Now it's 3 years removed from the 2 playoff . series vs Tampa and Roy will not make Matt Martin faster, Sebastion Aho smarter or give 75 percent of these guys a finishing touch around the net.
I agree a change needed to be made but some of these guys aren't the winners some NYI fans think and a couple of them will be deemed as "coach killers" if Roy doesn't get the desired results

At the altar. It's right in between "I do" and "I DID??"

Interested to see if he's found the line between passionate and crazy, will be entertaining in any case and happy to see him get another crack. A Lou/Roy marriage just feels like a power struggle waiting to happen though
