ELMONT, N.Y. — There was energy and excitement from the moment the players found out that Lane Lambert was fired and Patrick Roy — the Patrick Roy — was coming in to be their new coach back on Jan. 20. “I mean,” said a few weeks later, “it’s Patrick Roy. Everyone knows who he is.
But the finishing 9-2-1 kick coupled with some serious ineptitude from the teams in the playoff chase allowed the Islanders to break through and secure a playoff berth, with a handful of the games in that streak looking a lot like the Trotz era: Lopsided shot attempts against, few rebounds with taking over for a clearly gassed Sorokin, and timely scoring. Since Roy took over, the Islanders have allowed 5.1 HD chances per game along with 50.1 shot attempts and 29.6 shots on goal.
