Islanders fire Lane Lambert, hire Patrick Roy as head coach

[Noble]

Wow. That's a bomb.

 

[tucker3434]

That’s definitely an interesting move. If he stays in his lane, could be great. Don’t know if he’s capable of that though.

This was his coaching debut with the Avs, lets get a repeat

Would have loved to see coaches fight.

Word is, the Isles will stabilize the glass between the benches.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

If you're going to get back on track anyways, Roy is the perfect guy to light a fire under the asses of players. Now can the islanders PLEASE just start trimming the dead weight soon?

How, they're all signed to eight year deals?

So I guess this means Roy has to shave his beard?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

It will be such a fiasco. Cannot wait for his first tantrum.

Growing beards is now mandatory, actually.

 

[Rehabguy]

Russel Crowe the new coach?

Martin/Clutterbuck/Pageau/bottom D pair/Pulock

How did Pulock got that much for that long? I mean, I can remember him being a decent top4 but that's a lot of money.

It's not an untradable contract tho.

 

[GKJ]

Oh man

Pulock and Pelech were really masked by Trotz. I swear the play by them has just gone down a gutter without Barold in charge, especially Pelech

Fair play to the cameraman in the middle of that not flinching at all.

 

[Mike C]

Roy???

This move REEKS of desperation.

there's a reason for that!

 

[HabsQC]

Guess I'm a NYI fan now

 

[xECK29x]

My favorite player growing up, I am beside myself!

 

[Maliki2]

Awesome!!! I can't wait!!!

 

[GeoRox89]

Ended his last coaching job well. Please don’t lose the beard

 

[jfhabs]

Good for the league

 

[Maliki2]

Same here! Got to watch him play at the Forum a few times!!!

 

[Mike C]
