Coryberg Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Not sure if anyone saw it but the islanders lost a game to the preds a week or so ago. Got scored on with a few seconds left. Lambert, his staff and all the players on the bench (besides Bo) walked down the tunnel and left the 5 guys on the ice to finish up. Kinda figured Lou would be making a change when I saw that.

Surprised Horvat wasn’t lobbying for Boudreau, so he can pad his stats again. Why? It's not a contract year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat land fish Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This would be called the Ricky Bobby maneuver, no more mushy middle either First or Last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 81 now and still full of piss and vinegar. I'll believe it when I see it. Edited January 20 by Crabcakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shekky Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Drop down to 11th in the east after they made it up to 6th or something. Not too surprising for me honestly. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a video the other day on coaches in the hot seat, and Lambert was listed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I do wonder if Roy's coaching style will last in today's NHL. Is he a tough love kind of guy like Torts or is he too old school like Babs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) The Islanders are a one line team with one Dman who can put up points. Not sure how far they will get even with Roy. They blew their load on BO so they don’t have much cap room either. Edited January 20 by Elias Pettersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Fig Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 As others have said, a cranky sod like Roy is good for the league. He plays to win, which you have to respect. But he is a jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
