Major announcement from Lou Lamoriello about Patrick Roy, and it's big
A few months after the surprise hiring of Patrick Roy as head coach of the New York Islanders, Lou Lamoriello has just announced his conclusions.
If some still had doubts, know that Roy is in Long Island to stay. He took on his first challenge and really impressed his new bosses.
'The two gentlemen you see in front of you will be back next year,' said Lamoriello."

Lou Lamoriello announces his verdict on Patrick Roy
General manager Lamoriello draws a lot of positives from the end of his team's season, and he is fully aware that his new head coach had quite a challenge to face.
He even described the end of the Islanders' season as "incredible" and believes it places the team in a great position for the next season.
Clearly, as reported by Jonathan Bernier, Lou Lamoriello is showing his true colors and is clearly satisfied with his choice behind the bench.
We know that Lamoriello is extremely demanding, and in his 37 years in the NHL, he has seen it all, so this is really no small statement about Patrick Roy.
This bodes well for the future.
We are already looking forward to next season. The Islanders will be fascinating to watch, and it will also be fascinating to see what happens in goal with their star goalie Ilya Sorokin.
