Islanders fire Lane Lambert, hire Patrick Roy as head coach

[BHD]

Because Sorokin wasn’t overplayed enough under Lambert…

 

[Ignite111]

Love it

 

[Osakahaus]

Lambert is a bad coach. This isn't a good replacement since the isles have a bunch of other issues on the bottom 6, but Lambert screamed of Todd Reirden 2.0. This road trip was terrible. Islanders are still in the race, but its going to take a massive effort to even get back into it.

God do not trade that 1st again...

 

[miscs75]

they should’ve hired Berubi if he agreed

He would have been the 4th former Islanders player to coach for them. I know Goring, Henning and Simpson did both.

This feels more like a Brodeur move and not a Lamoriello move

 

[FlameChampion]

I wouldn’t of predicted this hire for the Islanders. I don’t know what to think. It’s interesting though lol

 

[Donuts]

Lou madddddd about the loss vs blackhawks

More changes ahead.
See you later nyi 1st!
Hellllo kuzmenko!

 

[benedictTavares]

Literally said 'what the f***' when I saw the notification.

More like this but samesy.

 

[Shocker]

Lmao, i can understand the coaching change, but Patrick Roy? That's out of left field.

 

[CraigBillington]

Next report:
Patrick Roy names himself General Manager

 

[Freudian]

I like it. Lou is going for it.

A little surprised at this hiring. There were a number of available coaches I would have hired ahead of him.

 

[MXD]

I did not have that on my bingo card.

 

[Melrose Munch]

why?

I did not have that on my bingo card.

I'd be absolutely livid if I completely got outplayed by a team on a B2B without Bedard, Hall, Foligno, and any good player. Lambert lost the room that badly.

 

[TheNumber4]

Just set up the Barn now for the eventual Roy-Torts dream match.

 

[Master P]

Det should have hired him.

 

[DustyDangler]

Now if we can just get Roenick a HC job with a metro team.

 

[Mattilaus]

ughh, when is it our turn to fire the coach?

 

[Look Up]

This can't be! All the "insiders" never gave us a clue about this.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Realistically speaking, what are the chances Roy eventually (literally/figuratively) stabs Lou in the back and usurps the GM and PoHO spots? I mean it's right there...

Et tu, Patty?

I mean can’t be worse then Lou

 

[Hunter368]

Not the coach I would have hired, not even remotely.
