Geeez….Where is Uncle Lou? You know… the GM who dismisses coaches at the end of the season and hired Pete Deboer in NJ? Actually they have to deal with this season and helping the vets on this years team. But 6 mos from now if this is the roster for next season if they miss the po or easily lose the first rd? 😮
The problem is that Darche promised Long Island fans and the owner that a rebuild wasn't necessary and that a few additions would quickly turn the team into a competitive one. Despite the personnel changes, he realizes he's on the verge of missing his goal of making the playoffs, and so he changes coaches, thinking that will solve the situation. I don't believe such a change is the solution, especially considering that Coach DeBoer left his last job after publicly criticizing his goalie. I'm eager to see what happens next.
I like the move, Roy’s lost the room, team was very inconsistent, surrendered too many late goals tied late in the third, always played down to lower competition, didn’t like his treatment of duclair considering there were other players more deserving of being a healthy scratch, trailing multiple goals early on, without sorokin were competing for the lottery, 2nd in the league of allowing high danger shots. With Deboer your getting an experienced coach who will give this team the type of structure we haven’t had since trotz, to the people saying “he’s never won a cup” remember trotz never even got passed a second round until he won the cup with Washington. Paul Maurice just won his 1st 2 cups. Deboer is also 9-0 in game 7s. With the right roster moves in the offseason will be a real contender.
Did anyone actually watch the last 6 games. The team literally had no structure whatsoever in there own zone. It was like watching beer league. Thats why he was fired

Patrick Roy deserved better treatment than that. He was the coach that brought the Isles performing better than expected throughout the entire season…

A team with no offence,different coach same result,Next move without success and he might be the next one to go
Pretty soon teams will be changing coaches during a playoff series. Horrible treatment of Patrick Roy by the Islanders.
HOW DOES RAY BENNETT STILL HAVE A JOB???? Worst PP in the NHL and the schmuck still has a job. Explain that to me
Believing in this roster is the problem. Palat sucks. Duclair sucks.
Lee sucks. Palat sucks. Duclair sucks.
Hopefully Roy will find another to team / he's a good hockey man ! I don't like DeBoer !
You hired a coach who has a reputation for playing veterans. How many "veterans" are you gonna have next year?
Deboer has track record of losing with win now teams and our gm thinks he has been a successful coach

Being a "Canadiens" fan, because of Patrick Roy, i had a lots of interest about the "NY Islanders", but not anymore.
A real JERK and no empathy for humans Darche. A real JERK
I never liked you Darche as a player with the Montreal Canadien and what you did the Patrick Roy…

Getting Romy and Eklund would be huge
Agree 100 percent bull crap he didn't deserve this did a good job
Word is roy didn't have much structure roy likes an offensive style , this team is built for a defensive structure
Did anyone actually watch the last 6 games. The team literally had no structure whatsoever in there own zone. It was like watching beer league. Thats why he was fired
Total shocker!
Isles need a different beat reporter.
Sucks
It would be poetic justice if Patrick Roy replaced Craig Berube as head coach of the Leafs and Roy leads them to win the Stanley Cup!
What is Keith Pelley waiting for?!
