I predict that he won't last more than 3 years.

Because it's Roy or because it's the Islanders?

Because Roy is an egomaniacal headcase.

He'll probably have initial success but will eventually wear out his welcome.

If he sneaks out a cup in a small window that would work.

I like that Patrick has some NHL experience, and more importantly, has spent time in the OHL building a memorial cup winning team. He is certainly aware of how the young player thinks. Also, I would imagine he has matured as a coach.

Also, the worst move the Leafs made in recent years was letting Lou go. Good hockey man.

I'm sure you mean the QMJHL not the OHL.

Lou will fire anyone anytime. Roy is an egomaniac who wanted to run the show in Colorado. He is a big name though.

I must’ve watched the YouTube documentary of what led up to the Montreal/Avalanche trade about 762 times lol.
