Standing up for his players, good on him.
MSL take note.
I agree. Unintentional. Rantanen isn't known to be dirty and he looked like he felt bad. Hockey is a fast game. Things happen in a split second.
Hope Romanov isn't hurt too badly. Didn't look good. Probably a broken collarbone or shoulder.
they got their payback with the disallowed buzzer beater goal lol
Good on him. If that doesn't light a fire in you. You're dead. Pat Roy is still that dude that went straight to management's face and traded himself.
Patrick Roy should be fined for not being able to control himself. He isn't worthy of being a coach in the NHL.
No one can say "who that crazy coach" just the best goalie to ever play the game….. lol i love Roy
Roy is my boy. Always was and always will be. And my boy has some fire. 🤣 33 forever!
Good to see Patrick still have that fire in him. Loved how he charged up the ice to help Claude Lemieux. That’s what a real teammate does. Patrick is all heart and fire and legendary.
I'm not one for injury revenge, BUT…… once a decade if we get a big fight night I think it's more than fine. Look out at the deadline to see if the Islanders trade for any enforcers/grinders, the Stars have a few guys who can go so don't be surprised if the Isles get some guys to handle themselves in return. Rantanen will have to keep his head up for sure in March though.
This Guy with the Canadiens hat is a total DICK.
It was the dirtiest hit this season. But your Canadian so I can't expect you'll know much about the game
He definitely doesn’t say “is he talking to me?” He’s asking “Am I off?” He wasn’t sure if he got a game misconduct or not.
Have no idea about the hit but Roy was always famous for his temper
This ain't the original six NHL- rivalries between conferences just don't have the heat. By March everyone will have forgotten this but Roy and Romanov…
