The islanders advertising that they’re playing the penguins is like. “Hey, we might beat them🤷♂️”
Kind of a way to show the guys… hey guys its not the goalie… you turds can’t even score a man up.
Why not? Nothing to lose. And if they could score, it gets within reach with still enough time left, so they can put the goalie back and try to save the game.
embarassing
When the Islanders are getting destroyed by the Sabres, it might be time to hire a real coach.
What a way to end a winless streak.
Well that was pretty terrible by both teams
I bet those Islanders are getting bag skated.
I think Roy just wanted to show he is trying to do something, but everybody knows that with or a without a goalie this game is lost.
I was a fan of the old IHL Toledo Goaldiggers hockey team back in the 70's and 80's. I remember listening to an away game, and they were being blown out so bad the head coach pulled the goalie at the start of the 3rd period. The game wound up like 16-4. Exact details are fuzzy because it was 50 years ago, but the memory remains mostly intact.
Like it
This ain't nhl25 players can score on the empty net in their own zone lol
He didnt get pulled in time so he pulls his goalies as soon as possible.
Why not turn the net around to?…and make em bank it in.
Tage Thompson says "thank you very much".
This is a new low for the isles. Losing to the sabres is one thing, they had to win at some point but to lose by this margin to this bad of a team is sad.
The Islanders are hard to watch, but having to listen to Butch Goring makes it literally impossible.
HOW MUCH MORE OBVIOUS i mean how much more evidence do you need to realize ROY IS NOT A GOOD NHL COACH HE IS TERRIBLE. Theres a reason he was out of the league for 10 years.
Blues pulled the goalie a few nights back with 9 something left and scored. Didn’t end up winning the game but it can work
What a legend.
Why Roy doesn't have to a goalie in after a goal, why is he saying that??
Roy is a horrible coach.
Roy is on his way out of another NHL city, it's only a matter of time.
Some former players don’t make good coaches
I mean they’re down 5-1 why not
I'd be more inclined to pull the tendy early if you're ona PP …
It's time to consider contracting the Icelanders from the league. This franchise is abysmal, an absolute embarrassment to the game and irrelevant for over 4 decades now! The league should be cut down to 28 teams, remove the minor league franchises starting with the Icelanders. I have grown to hate this team I loved as a kid!
If you want to make an attempt this is the right move for sure. A lot of research shows that most pull the goalie too late
Love it
Roy has no business coaching, or fighting, he sucks at both
snipers can plug it from their own end
Bro the sabres winning a game, I must be dreaming
It didn't work and I would usually think it's a stupid thing to do. But given it's against Buffalo and the way they've been blowing leads and losing games, it was worth a shot to try
