Miss Korea Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 2 hours ago, Jack Fig said: 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. Half the people will say he is good for the Islanders, and the other half will say the opposite. But everyone will agree he is good for the league. Patrick Roy instantly makes the Islanders MUST-WATCH HOCKEY. Buckle up, Isles fans - because this rocket's going full speed (and nobody knows where). 2 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: BO knows coaches… Bo does not know coaches - he barely gets to know them, in fact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarcore Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 22 hours ago, Snoop Hogg said: A coaching change was not unexpected, but I’m shocked they went with Roy. Surprised Horvat wasn’t lobbying for Boudreau, so he can pad his stats again. I wonder how he feels looking at the standings...like all that money helps...A LOT...but you know Bo wants to win. Maybe he was the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Diamonds Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Horvat is 1 of 5 Islanders with a positive +/-, has 42 points in 44 games, is on pace for his third consecutive 30+ goal season, and averages the highest ice time among forwards on the Islanders. I still wouldn't want him for 8 years at 8.5M, but I think it's safe to say he isn't the problem and at least this year is living up to his contract. I don't understand the incessant need to always try to shit on players who are no longer with the Canucks. It's not like Bo even asked for a trade. The Islanders were also struggling last year which is why they went after Horvat. Horvat alone clearly wasn't the solution to their problems but that doesn't mean he's the problem either. Other than Dobson they've been severely lacking offensive support from their defense this year and Sorokin's play has been very inconsistent. Plus Pulock and Pelech missing a large chunk of games certainly doesn't help them. I'm not sure Roy was the correct choice but they clearly needed to do something and it should at least be interested to watch. Do they become the Torts coached Canucks and get forced into an early rebuild? Or does Roy actually get them back on track and squeeze out a couple more years of being competitive? 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a recent game where the Islanders lost, and the whole team + coaching staff left the bench before the last puck drop. Horvat was the only player who wasn't on the ice and still remained on the bench and watched that final puck drop. He wouldn't quit on his teammates. A lot of NYI fans were campaign to strip Lee of his captaincy and give it to Bo. Bo isn't the problem, it is unfortunate for him to be in these situations because management (Both VAN and NYI) put together a flawed team and expected to contend. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said on Bo. I think Roy will be great for this group. They are defensive minded and I believe that's how Roy will coach, but he'll get the buy in from everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
