@RTaub_ This sounds like a load of bull all the way around. Bad player performance & coaching is the truth. Roy was a great goalie, but a bad coach to date b/c unable to craft schemes suited to an older, low skill roster. His players also wilt under pressure, unlike Roy as a goalie

A couple thoughts on this clip (more so the first minute-plus) that was brought to my attention:
1. If this is true — this would be a really tough look on the locker room more than Roy.
2. If it was one or two players, current or former, it’s incredibly soft.
3. The Islanders organization have had and still continue to have former Cup winners around the team a good amount of the time.
4. Why the hell as a current/former player would you not want to get the mindset of someone who’s a multiple Stanley Cup winner and Hall of Famer? That seems totally ridiculous.
5. Roy not bending on how he wants players to play his way or is hard on them I can absolutely see being accurate.

@HoffWFAN We need DP in the BP , this is perfect. Myers or Manaea gets the next turn.

@TNTSportsUS @45PedroMartinez Agree with Pedro 💯. Mendy is not the man for the job
English

@WardyNYM He’s getting too passive. Needs to rip away at fastballs in the zone, especially ahead in the count
English

@metsbatflip1 Robert has been okay. The pitching has been much better than last year or expected
English

@metsnewsletter 💯. Pedro nailed it. Mendy is a passenger prince, we need a commander

@ChrisBottaNHL @Spazemunky @IslesFix The real issue with Palat was playing him so many minutes with top lines over Duke since the trade. Not sure if Roy, Darche or both are to blame for that, but it was really costly. Tsyp was relegated to the press box, which didn’t set us back
English

@Spazemunky @IslesFix Nah, he already made those types. Spaze!
English

Yeah, Darche has made mistakes. I was critical of some when announced, and a few were not minor miscalculations. Think Darche doesn’t realize this now?
He’s also done good work behind the scenes for the #Isles. I’m told by countless people who’d know that the players and front office staff greatly respect him. Importantly, he elevated the development pathway after the Lamacalamity in Bridgeport.
The problem for the Darche Sucks Brigade is that we know Malkin and Ledecky are giving the GM all the resources needed for cleanups on Aisle Mathieu and to build a contender. For one example, Darche will use a buyout if needed. For another, big money was just dropped on an upgrade to a more experienced, accomplished and, yes, analytical head coach. These are not the Walsh-Millstein-Imprisoned Owners-Wang Islanders. They operate like the best NHL franchises do.
So have at it, members of the DSB. Obsessively point out Darche’s rookie year fumbles. But you’re gonna have to break out new graphs and material eleven months from now when Pete DeBoer’s New York Islanders are at least 18 games over NHL .500 and comfortably in a playoff spot.

@michaelgbaron Sloppy game. Pitching was excellent except for 5th inning disaster. Offense largely asleep except for the bench players, Lindor 2B and two of Baty’s ABs
English

#Mets had to grind one out and come from behind late today. Jared Young’s sac fly was huge in the 8th, the bullpen was great again. Tough conditions but love how they found a way today.
English

@MetsGiveMeAgita Young should be in the lineup everyday vs RHP whilst Soto hurt. Give Semien, Polanco, Benge, Baty occasional day off while Young is hot
English

@SNYtv Learned his lesson (needs to teach Brazoban) about throwing his changeup too often -- much better odds if you fire a 98mph fastball at the letters
English

@BlorfGuy @MarkCHealey Someone needs to have a sitdown with him and Brazoban. That was one of the worst pitch calling sequences ever and really inexcusable
