Is There Tension Between New York Islanders Head Coach Patrick Roy and GM Lou Lamoriello?



The New York Islanders finally placed Anthony Duclair on LTIR and then they brought up Pierre Engvall and Hudson Fasching from Bridgeport and signed Matt Martin to a one-year deal for the league minimum. But Patrick Roy did not seem thrilled with Lou Lamoriello’s moves and was not available to the press before Saturday night’s loss to the Florida Panthers.

We discuss the moves and the reasons we feel there could be tension between Lamoriello and Roy.

Plus, we break down the Isles disappointing weekend which saw them split their games but frequently blow leads in both contests.

All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

  1. It is time for Lou to go. He has set this team back 10 years. Engval is a soft player who is not a factor in most games.

  2. Arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, I will say it again, time for a complete rebuild, first move should be Lou out the door

  3. Engvall had 13 shifts. His stat line is no goals no assists no points no shots on goal, no takeaways, one giveaway and one hit. That's quite an impact. Our entire first line had a total of two shots on goal and no points.

    I was at both games last week. The Sat. attendance was announced as 15,800 which is a lie. The building looked exactly the same as earlier in the week when the attendance was announced at 12,500. What's very concerning is that the section in the upper deck at the end of the arena where the opponent shoots twice was only half filled. That's the section that has the most hard-core fans that lead the chants for the rest of the building.

  4. So recent events in management seem to be coming to a head. If Patrick Roy was a hire specifically by Scott Malkin and not Lamoriello then perhaps there is a plan at work here. It now seems more likely that Malkin hired Roy to force Lamoriello to change his handling of the roster, through the draft, through free agency, and Lou being as intransient as he has always been is giving Malkin the opportunity to announce that the franchise is going to move in a new direction without actually firing Lamoriello. That way Lamoriello steps down and Malkin doesn't look like a villian, similar to what happened to Trotz.

  5. Gil, just another typical senile Lou move. I would argue engvall,Martin, and fasching are all ahl players at this time. Calls up engvall who had one point in six games? I would much rather see wahlstrom and foudy. We all love the mayor but he shouldn’t have been resigned three years ago. Haven’t seen clutter on the last couple of telecasts u want to bet he’s the next one back. lol
