Firing coming for Patrick Roy with the Islanders? Things are brewing and this possibility is advanced
The situation for Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders is starting to become worrying.
Firing coming for Patrick Roy with the Islanders?
Things are brewing and this possibility is advanced
Patrick Roy arrived in the NHL with high expectations after his success behind the Quebec Remparts bench in the Q, but he now faces a colossal challenge: managing an aging team that no longer seems to know which direction to take.
The Islanders aren't winning at the moment, and recent performances are putting enormous pressure on Patrick Roy.
The team is stuck in 10th place in the East, a very uncomfortable area, between playoff contenders and rebuilding teams.
The parallel with the recent firing of Jim Montgomery is revealing: it shows that few coaches are safe when results don't match upper management's expectations.
Roy's inclusion in the list of coaches potentially in the hot seat is a clear signal that results must improve quickly if he is to keep his job.
Patrick Roy fired before Martin St-Louis: a prediction to remember
The Islanders have some obvious holes in their roster, and so it's not entirely Patrick Roy's fault. An aging team, lacking depth and dynamism, is not the ideal recipe for immediate success.
This raises a question: should Islanders management adjust their expectations or provide Patrick Roy with the necessary resources to achieve their ambitious goals?
For fans, the wish is clearly to see Roy succeed in the NHL.
Let's hope that the Islanders quickly find a solution to reverse the trend, and that Patrick Roy finally enjoys success.
