The New York Islanders got the Patrick Roy Era off to an exciting start with a dramatic 3-2 OT win over the Dallas Stars. Bo Horvat potted the game winner on a backhander in the opening minute of the extra session. We have our key takeaways from the game and our hero and goat of the game plus we describe how things were different under Roy and also what more or less remained the same.
We also have player reaction to Roy becoming the coach including Mathew Barzal, Anders Lee and Noah Dobson and some quotes from Roy about what he wants to accomplish as coach.
Plus, we look at what will be different under the new regime.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Lane Lambert can't be a good coach unless he changes his ways. He didn't come in last year and set the tone early like Trotz did every season he was head coach. He didn't do it this past training camp either. All the great coaches in professional sports have to set the tone, certainly, Arbour did that
I wonder if Roy's hiring had something to do with Sorokin's struggles. Roy is a HOF goalie, of course.
Legend behind the bench of the Isles, what a great hire!!! So hyped that Roy is an Islander!
Pageau couldn't score in a women's prison!
The longest journey starts with a single step and last night was a great 1st step, Roy was charged up and involved every second of the game, spot on Gil thank thank you Let’s go Islanders 💪🏼 ie post game interview quote Bo Horvat WE WANTED THIS WIN FOR OUR COACH !!!
Tremendous gap control in the 1st period led to several chances ( 2 glorious misses) then the 2nd was a typical NY period
I was thinking the same thing,,
after that wide right loss in Buffalo, AGAIN, yesterday, it reminded me of the movie Buffalo '66. have you seen it Gil? it's not entirely about the Buffalo Bills, but their history is an important of it. dark, sick humor, it's almost something that can be described as "you can't write this sh*t" and yet it is semi autobiographical of the main character. well worth a look imo.
