News Article: Patrick Roy named Head Coach

[Nassau Revisited]

Well I guess the Country Club just shutdown...

Poor Casey and Captain Lee

 

[Chardo]

This tells us Lou isn't being fired anytime soon.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

I think Roy is the right personality we need

 

[WangMustGo]

This tells us Lou isn't being fired anytime soon.

Disagree, the rest of the season will tell us that.

 

[RWWallpaper]

If they hired a swiffer to replace Lambert, I’d be ecstatic… So this is wonderful

 

[Strummergas]

This tells us Lou isn't being fired anytime soon.

If you mean before the season ends, then yes. Otherwise it don't mean nothing.

 

[SRBisles]

If nothing else, this hire should cause some guys not pulling their weight to be on high alert.

 

[Bones45]

I remember him being an absolute arrogant, fantastic G.


So. Yeah.. BRING IT

 

[Chardo]

Fiery guy who knows a thing or two about defensive structure, and certainly knows how to win. Good fit.

 

[thegoldenyear]

Didn’t have THAT hire on my Bingo…

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Lou knew we had a country club atmosphere and is going for it. Love this move. Now please also send Houda to the moon

No one saw this coming.

 

[Taswell]

Idk if he's going to bring us where we need to go, but he will damn sure make the boys work and have no qualms shitting on those who don't. Also continues to show me this ownership has no problem spending money, as I'm sure he didn't come cheap.

Post games will also be lively.

Wanted Berube, but I'm down to give this a go...not like we have much to lose at this point.

 

[Chardo]

Probably doesn't hurt to have your franchise goalie get perhaps the best of all time as his coach.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Hmm, definitely didn't think they'd have someone right away.

But hell, it can't be any worse! Excited to see what happens.

 

[seafoam]

His passion is certainly more…obvious…than Count Dracula’s was.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Keep going with the assistants now

 

[SRBisles]

Yup. Varlamov was runner up for the Vezina in Roy’s first year as a HC as well.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Torts versus Roy could be fun

 

[PolishPrince21]

There is no way this happened lol

 

[NORiculous]

Guy was a mess in Colorado

He won the Jack Adams. He got in a dispute with Sakic and left( he also had another title which meant he was in on the team decisions and that is where they had the dispute). I think he knows it wasn’t the best of ideas. A mistake? Yes. A mess? I don’t think so.

[eoin92]

Seems bizarre. Hope he has a better go of it his second time coaching. Patrick Roy to the New York Islanders, who’d’ve thunk.

 

[Symon Asher]

Roy is generally credited with creating the goalie butterfly. Revolutionized the game.

I thought that was Tony Esposito

 

[Chardo]

He won the Jack Adams. He got in a dispute with Sakic and left. I think he knows it wasn’t the best of ideas. A mistake? Yes. A mess? I don’t think so.

Get in a dispute with Lou and he'll cut your balls off.

So you want a better go then a Jack Adams?
