Islanders fire Lane Lambert, hire Patrick Roy as head coach

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Had to be done after the road trip, not thrilled with Roy though but it’s not like there are a ton of options
 
Really happy for Patrick Roy but if I look at the Islanders' roster and DEPTH CHARTS, it's a little pathetic. Seventh oldest team in the NHL and very few prospect of quality. I would have preferred Roy in Buffalo or Ottawa....

Roy could win the Battle of the Somme in WWI with Toddlers due to how amazing of a motivational leader he is. He took Grigorenko and made him into a top 6 forward among others.

However, his X's and O's leave a lot to be desired and why he originally left the Avs. Hopefully, he learned a lot about the tactical side during his extra years with the Remparts.
