What a game that was! The Islanders really showed up against the Canucks, and it’s impressive to see how Patrick Roy has transformed this team. Even though the Canucks had the better stats on paper, the Islanders played with such heart and discipline. That top line with Horvat, Lee, and Pageau was electric, and it’s clear they’ve found some chemistry that can carry them through tough games.
Roy’s coaching style is really shining through. The way he had the team structured defensively was brilliant, especially against a high-octane team like Vancouver. It’s not just about having the best players; it’s about how you utilize them, and Roy seems to have a knack for getting the most out of his roster, even with injuries. If they can keep this momentum going, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the playoff mix, and Roy definitely deserves a look for the Jack Adams Award if they do.
What do you think about the Islanders' chances moving forward? Can they maintain this level of play?
