Lou Lamoriello had finally seen enough.
Lane Lambert survived a seven-game losing streak in November.
But he could not survive a four-game skid that hit a low with a 4-3 overtime loss to the bottom-dwelling Blackhawks on Friday night in Chicago, sinking the Islanders’ record to 2-6-2 over their last 10 games.
Lamoriello, the Isles’ GM, announced on Saturday that Lambert had been dismissed after 1 ½ seasons behind the bench.
Patrick Roy was named the team’s coach, with the hope that he can jolt them into a fifth postseason appearance in six years.

Who are the Smilanders?
Not only does Sear's not look tough enough to have ever played hockey, he doesn't look tough enough to watch hockey. I cant wait for him to ask Roy a dumb question. Ethan if you're reading this, stop trying to be a sarcastic doosh like Uncle Larry.
