Right up there as one of the greatest Goalies ever …
Toronto missed their boat on this. He could have been the difference maker to bring this team up another level.
Why to be surprised Friedman, are you afraid to win? Incredible, people are more afraid of a misstep and prefer to lose than to win, journalism is a big reason why our society is very weak now
Is that a Flieger Type A on his wrist?
That’s what Keefe lacks; the presence to motivate the overpaid core in Toronto so that they can make up for the overpaid journeymen in the dressing room.
Isles are all done. Roy is not a leader.
Hopefully some roster changes come as well.
I'd like to think that the NYI just pretty guarantee themselves a spot in the playoff with that move. So happy for them and Pat.
Roy is a legend. Can't wait to see him involved again
Life long Avs, and Roy fan, I feel dirty, this feels wrong.
No!!!!
If the Leafs weren't so damn stupid they would have hired him.
**Roy is a goon, and will always be one. He was lucky that his ex-wife didn't press charges against him back in 2000. I'm glad she left him.
Elliot Friedman is THE MAN! Knows his stuff, without the fluff.
Roy is a winner. As a kid I HATED him as he beat my Kings to win the cup. I cheered when Detroit lit him up like a Christmas tree and laughed when he said he stuffed his Stanley Cup rings in his ears…the guy has charisma and compete level.
Patrick Roy is such a hot head. He can only do more damage than good for that already dysfunctional organization.
Why do people post stuff at such low audio level. I'm at max volume on my laptop and need to lean in to hear anything
It's funny you can be such a vile anti-Christian, anti-White, xenophobe like EJ and still have a job.
Lou loves the former Habs! 1995 Jacques Lemaire wins cup. 2000 Larry Robinson wins cup. 2003 Pat Burns…wins cup!
Lou hiring Lemaire was a huge change to the Devils. But he also hired Jacques Caron and Larry Robinson. Also brought over Stephan Richer and Claude Lemieux from Montreal years prior. This also changed the Devils franchise for the next 20 years.
"Big cheer" from Duchene tonight if he scores in Roy's debut? 😂
Pat's a jerk
Patrick Roy can certainly coach – I still think though the biggest shock was the zero connection with The Islanders and Patrick Roy
ISLANDERS FANS are a funny lot . ROY would best be seen as one of the Working Stiffs who go to ISLANDERS games . He should get out ahead in the press and find a local Tavern to go to nearby .
I've been an Islander fan since the day of their inception ( I'm from Brooklyn) and nothing else can take the place of a home grown feel about a team .
Well….
I used to be an Islander fan.
Senators organization sliding into irrelevance
Don’t like the Isles or Roy, but it seems like a good fit.
Roy back makes the NHL more exciting. Welcome back Crazy Patrick.
Leafs really missed out he would have made the goalies we have better and the team better. Glad to see him back in the game
When you hired Patrick Roy head coach of your NHL club , you don't just hired a new coach , you give the wheel to the big boy !
The Islanders will become a better team – watch out …
Watching his wife walk behind him was hilarious 😂😂
happy for Patrick & the islanders, Lou going out on the limb
Roy in the NHL is a great thing. King of goalies and all time competitor.
Friedman is a fucken goof. I dont think that guy's played any hockey and people listen to him.
What's Roy contract terms ?
How many years?
How much?
Further proof that the Islanders have not had a clue how to run a team since the 1980s.
This reminds me of the Milbury hiring and putting that "fisherman" logo on the uniforms………
Hope he quits on them during a big road trip.
Why are folks scared of Roy? You have guys moving around and failing again and again like Boudreau. I don’t get it.
So they hired a coach who used to have conversations with his post who can almost speak English. This will go well.
