Roy the Ongoing Discussion

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Okay, I was not a Roy fan mostly because of the bad PP and PK, but the team continuing to win as he plugs in new players may be cause for a reevaluation. :nod:

FWIW I think the plan was always to activate the D to reinforce our offense. That didn’t work at first for two reasons: old slow D core and Sorokin not playing like Sorokin.

Now other teams are playing with a beach ball and we’ve got a bunch of twinks jumping up every play. If nothing else, this should serve as proof of concept for whoever is building the roster next season.
 
The Isles true contender or not Roy has left little doubt that he is the right coach for this team moving forwards. If only he made himself available 6 years ago to think what he could have done with that roster. He’s got this team injuries and all sans Nelson/Barzal they look great 5 on 5 .
 
Whether we make the playoffs or not- Roy's done a great job IMHO through some tough injuries to key contributors, and overall roster limitations. He's clearly an NHL-caliber HC, and when you have one of those, especially as the NYI, I personally wouldn't be too eager to move on from him. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's scaled the mountain top 4 times as a player.
