The Isles have returned into the defensive stalwarts that made them successful at the start of the decade, and now...
I’m fully willing to admit that I was wrong about the hiring of Patrick Roy. I still stand by my logic, especially when Lou Lamoriello has shown his age in recent seasons at the helm of the team, but I guess a broken clock is still right twice a day.
So when Lamoriello fired Trotz in 2022, I figured his flaws would be exposed. The man who was masquerading most of Lou’s terrible decisions and turning it into one of the most disciplined and structured systems in the league was gone, so it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the team started to look more like the sum of its parts.
And now, two months removed from Roy’s debut as the Isles head coach, I am happy to admit that I may have been wrong. Yes, their 10-9-4 record doesn’t exactly scream success, but under the hood, these look just like Trotz’s Islanders, if not better. What matters is that, for the time being, it’s working, and while the Isles aren’t quite being rewarded for the success just yet, that should hopefully come in due time, even if it doesn’t bare a playoff spot for them this season.
