The Sick Podcast – The Eye Take a look at: Chris Botta on if there’s a future for Patrick Roy with the New York Islanders.
Botta: “Patrick Roy from the second he began with the Islanders, I imagine he had a little bit little bit of a self-campaign to reinvent himself. I feel when individuals would consider Patrick, as a participant and in addition as a coach in Colorado and in Juniors, they noticed him as a fiery, generally over-the-top man.
he didn’t have a single second like that. A lot to my displeasure. A part of me was, it’s enjoyable. Yeah. I imply, when he acquired the job, I instructed the story about how nice he was to a, as a participant, to a former fellow intern to (inaudible) Patrick Roy was simply beneficiant with us. A goalie, to this younger goalie, younger man named Anthony. So I used to be rooting for him.

Anyway, to get again to your query, it was like he was behaving himself. I feel, form of reinventing himself for a long-term place with the Islanders. Perhaps staying as (inaudible) head coach.
However within the one second the place he actually, he didn’t snap at a reporter. He would keep, after they misplaced video games, that I believed we deserved higher. The identical stuff I acquired fairly tiresome, I feel, to the fan base. However for no matter motive, after this one recreation, when it got here to Anthony (Duclair), he simply mentioned, , ‘God, terrible.’ It’s vital and, and it was uncharacteristic of the brand new Patrick Roy.
The following day, it was determined that, or that Anthony was going to take go away of absence from the crew, and he hasn’t been heard from since. Was not made obtainable on breakup day. I believe that Anthony, who’s below contract for 3 extra years, will come again, and maybe be okay and get his recreation again. It’ll be with the Islanders. Don’t assume that contract is movable.
So there was a foul search for Patrick. It’s, it’s one among six or seven explanation why I don’t assume he’ll be again as head coach. And why I feel the homeowners might need carried out the subsequent GM and the subsequent EVP of hockey operations a favor had they simply mentioned goodbye to the teaching employees.

, they will all the time come again and interview, however , the very last thing a brand new GM needs to do is, , hearth any person who he’s by no means labored with. However I simply don’t assume Patrick goes to be saved. The one probability for Patrick is that if he’s in a position to keep within the group in some significant approach, not as a coach however inside hockey ops.
