>In a move signaling a fresh start, Darche has overhauled the coaching staff by relieving assistant coaches John MacLean and Tommy Albelin of their duties. This change allows Roy the opportunity to assemble his own staff for the first time since joining the Islanders.
Not surprising. I look forward to seeing the results of Roy having say in his own staff instead of Lou hiring his people.
Let Darche go food shopping, let Roy cook and hire his own sous chefs. And for the love of God, fix things in Bridgeport!
All I ask for is no more pulling the goalie with 4 minutes left
Good, he deserves a shot with his own people
Take the muzzle and restraints off of Roy and let’s see what he can do
Truly hope he lets Roy cook and rebuilds Bridgeport
