The Athletic Hockey Show: Islanders Fire Roy, Hire Deboer In Late Season Shakeup
Episode Description
For the second time in a week there has been a major change behind the bench of an NHL team, this time with the New York Islanders firing head coach Patrick Roy and replacing him with Pete DeBoer with just four games left on the schedule. Today, the guys break down the Isles surprising decision, assess John Tortorellas first week of work with the Vegas Golden Knights, and check in on Macklin Celebrinis Hart Trophy potential as the young phenom keeps his San Jose Sharks in playoff contention. Plus, the Buffalo Sabres are playoff-bound for the first time in 14 years, ending the leagues longest drought, while the Detroit Red Wings are in danger of extending their nine-year postseason absence after another end-of-season collapse.Hosts: Max Bultman and Mark LazerusWith: Jesse GrangerExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Chris FlanneryWatch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VTm9VjkFSubscribe to The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
