Soooo Patrick Roy already on the hot seat?

[PanniniClaus]

Might not be a bad idea to clear them all out. Giving Engvall a 7-year deal is a fire able offense alone..... and I actually don't mind Engvall.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Lou has to be on the hot seat first tbh. It's just not going anywhere with him. Frustratingly mediocre is where they are stuck at whit him

What if he adds another 30+ year old grinder? Maybe give a 4th liner 5 years and an NMC? I think a couple more and you turn it around quick.

I got you fam. Oilers will now send Derek Ryan.

 

[SI90]

It’s not him. He’s a really good coach and knows what he’s doing. Team is stagnant. Needs a major shakeup. Can’t score

 

[Bouboumaster]

Fire Lou and replace him with Roy

 

[Mike C]

It’s amazing you think that’s the problem when there is next to zero other talent on the team.

You should know the fundamental differences between these two sports, I can’t even begin to explain how wrong this is.

I'll quote a poster from the NYI board. "Disney on Ice" or as we like to say "Ice Capades" is talented indeed. He's a good 2C. His defense is spotty, he disappears for long stretches and he makes absolutely nobody he plays with better.

For the cashflow he rakes, his inability to hone his game to adjust to defenses, his puck hogging, and the regression of his decision making are glaring

I plenty well know the difference beteeen sports. I was just making an analogy especially since Carmelo was another high profile NY player.

What is Roy considered? Don't know much about him

a players coach
or
A system's coach/old school

A Temu version of Tortorella...just yells but has no plan.

 

[GordieHowYaDoin]

In no way, shape or form is he a players coach. He's done some psychopathic shit with the Rempart. He loves mind games and is a straight up bully. He's an old school type.

Dude sounds based af

 

[BrokenFace]

Dude sounds based af

Are based af coaches good at coaching?

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Team's shit and has been carried by the goalies for years. I remember when they faced us and I saw Mike Reilly on the first PP... ouch. Also, Duclair was looking great, it's unfortunate that he got injured so early.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I don't know if Patrick Roy is a good coach or a bad coach.

What I do know is that there isn't a good coach out there who could make that roster a viable contender.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Trade him to Colorado for Bednar.

1 for 1.

Should trade him for Georgiev, he would be an improvement.

 

[Brookbank]

We know Lou isn’t going anywhere so what is the plan on the island?

He's a terrible coach and should be fired

 

[SoundAndFury]

I think if Lou fires the coach, after such a short stint too, his ass is next on the line. Especially since Roy reportedly got 3 year deal so the compensation if they wished to fire him would be substantial. The owners would finally realize the revolving door act with the coaches is just to either mask the roster holes or the inability to hire a competent coach to go with it.

So I'm guessing Roy and Lou go down with the ship together before doing their best to stop it from sinking.

Typically, "based af" guys are only good at embarrassing themselves.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Still the most laughable thing ever he won GM of the year not once but back to back. He owes Trotz so much for making him look like a genius.

 

[Brookbank]

Dude sounds based af

Ah yes. Just like Babcock or Mike Yeo

Roy is one of the worst coaches ever. Up there with Gretzky.

 

[Brookbank]

More the latter I would say. He's very demanding for what it is or isn't worth with today's millionaire athletes. He holds players accountable and has a winning pedigree

The team seemed excited to play for him when he got there last season. I suspect as the malaise continues this season, it won't be long before we hear the same bullshit we heard before they hired Handsome Lane Lambert. "Barry, er Lane ,now Patrick lost the room"

Losing Duclair hurts but tonight, Elvis lost his stick 3 times and the Isles couldn't score. It's not a coaching issue

Muh accountable.

Millionaire athletes is not some new revelation. Inflation adjusted, they get paid way less than when Roy was playing.

 

[WatchfulElm]

Ah yes. Just like Babcock or Mike Yeo

Roy is one of the worst coaches ever. Up there with Gretzky.

Not sure he can hear you with all of his awards in his ears.

Jack Adams winner and 2x Memorial cup winner and Gilles Courteau trophy winner says hi.

 

[warrior60]

Lou fires Roy and goes behind the bench and ends up winning the cup to become in Lou we truss once again.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Jack Adams winner and 2x Memorial cup winner and Gilles Courteau trophy winner says hi.

Oh wow. Trophies in junior. What's next, NCAA division title? Truly best coach ever.

 

[MikeyMike01]

I think Lou has done a very good job overall, but if this year goes poorly I think he’ll be “retiring”.

 

[WatchfulElm]

Oh wow. Trophies in junior. What's next, NCAA division title? Truly best coach ever.

I didn't know the Jack Adams was a junior league trophy.

Amazing how you consider winning Memorial cup twice as having no value at all. How many have you got?

 

[Mandar]

I dont see any issues here.....both Lou and Roy are doing fine jobs. Stay the course boys......its fun.
