News Article: Patrick Roy named Head Coach

Watch the Isles make a run and win the Cup, it would be a season for the ages.

This team has all the ingredients to be a "bitch to play against" in the playoffs and quite a bit of the roster is quite playoff tested and proven. Sorokin is an elite goalie and Varly is a solid #2. When Pulock comes back, the defense is solid with ascending talents in Dobson and Romanov. Barzal and Horvat is a legit 1st pair duo. Brock is a legit #2C. We are faster and still have the foot soldiers to wear down teams in the playoffs.

Sign Parise and get healthy. If the team responds to Roy and looks good then look at an all in move... like Hanifin at the TDL. Cinderella run, win Cup, Isles say f*** you to everyone, made into a Disney movie.

Isn't that what we dream of as fans?

They desperately need a system because constantly clearing the puck up the boards to the other team is not a system.

“So here’s a new concept for you guys. It’s called a breakout.”

Just remembered Varly played for Roy in COL

 

[MattMartin]

Gretzky passed on the job? AKA, after years of being a joke we are finally getting attention for the right reasons. I like it!

Just here to say this is awesome. You guys will have fun with this (and your hockey team will be improved by it).

Lambert needed to go so Isles fans are thrilled that he's gone. We will see how Roy works out, but it makes the Isles a must watch now.

Would rather see Chief go to Ottawa and Toronto knee jerk themself into DJ Smith for the pure entertainment purposes of watching them spiral downward.

 

[LeapOnOver]

They got a new voice, alright. A loud one! Let's hope he doesn't tell Lou it's his last game as an Islander after a drubbing next week.

Lou didn't fire Lambert as fast as some of us would have liked, but from a professional business standpoint, it was just about the right time.

Great move.

You just gained a ton of new fans, too. Avs fans are rolling in here.

LFG Islanders!!!

 

[MarsTBOW]

I LOVE IT!!!!
A Fresh Start.
Roy takes no B.S. so we will find out quickly if this is a good match or Not

Great move.

LFG Islanders!!!

Welcome aboard. I already had the Avs on my favored list so there’s balance in the world.

Congratulations to you too. You now hate the Rags!

 

[Glorydays22]

I am shook, my favorite player growing up!

WHY??? This is a horrible move....Thanks Lou, lets screw this up even more.

 

[gordie43]

Hate to see anyone lose a job, but a shakeup seemed necessary.

Kill Lou all you want but he was able to bring in a big name. Franchise has legitimacy. Hopefully it will translate into more wins with a new coach.

 

[SI90]

Full presser. I must say, it’s amazing what these dynasty wins and players have done for us. They built up so much cache. We were a joke for most of the 90’s and early 2000’s but every time someone comes in they always mention the isles and the memories. We owe them guys everything.
