Islanders Eye Consistency Under Demanding Coach Roy

Former teammate Pierre Turgeon believes Patrick Roy’s leadership will propel the Islanders to greater heights.

• Roy’s fiery competitiveness and focus on winning will demand accountability from players.
• Islanders improved significantly under Roy after he took over mid-season last year.
• Turgeon expects a period of adjustment but sees a bright future under Roy’s demanding coaching style.
• Consistency will be key for the Islanders to avoid last-minute playoff pushes.

Roy’s championship pedigree and passion for the game have instilled optimism in the Islanders organization.
