Islanders fans react to Patrick Roy's firing "The team really needs to make some changes to get to the next level," Rich Kern, of Roslyn Heights said.

...than on Long Island. And certainly no group, outside of the immediate team, were more stunned by the change than Islanders fans.

#NHL #Isles

It is going to be really challenging to play catch up after these 5 days off. Will likely be out of a playoff spot by night’s end. #Isles

#LetsGoFlyers were 7-3 in their last 10 & #Isles lost 4 in a row.

Porter Martone picked an incredible time for his first #NHL goal - OT winner to put Flyers one point clear of #isles.

Potential for a #LetsGoPens vs. #LetsGoFlyers first round matchup 👀

[Response to a quoted post]

#Flyers will awake on Monday in a playoff spot, passing #isles for third in Metropolitan Division.

#isles have fewest games remaining in #NHL - they’re idle until Pete DeBoer’s debut on Thursday.

#LetsGoFlyers can earn big second point in OT/SO.

Since hired by the #Isles, Patrick Roy’s record is 97-78-22 for 216 Pts (.548 Pts%) good for 17th overall.

The #Habs are 14th (and climbing) with 222 Pts (.569 Pts%).

Lou Lamoriello gave him a chance. Do you think anyone else will?

not sure i truly understand why roy is out. especially at this point in the season. this feels unnecessary #Isles

His constant changing of lines, was dizzying. Rarely did he keep the same lines together for more than 2 games in a row. I would have like to seen more 14 and 13 together, than just the PP, which, sucks. #Isles

interesting tidbits in here #isles

This season + 4 year contract. #Isles

Darche deserves a full summer before writing him off. Hopefully he is smarter than that! #Isles

Islanders Power Play Plagues Roy, Contributes To Late-Season Firing Patrick Roy is out as Islanders head coach for a handful of reasons with the power play failures at the forefront.

The #Isles didn’t fire Patrick Roy because of one bad week.

They fired him because the same problems that never got fixed ultimately led to this late-season demise.

That includes the power play.

DeBoer also has the most playoff wins without a Stanley Cup championship with 97. He has lost in the conference finals 6 straight seasons (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025). #Isles

Darche has balls. I'll give him that. Love this. #Isles

#Isles can switch coaches but that doesn't change the fact they're just not that good and rely on Sorokin to bail them out a lot.

😮 #isles

Oh my god #Isles

A man in a checkered suit speaks into microphones, appearing focused. Text above reads "HIRED Head Coach" for New York Islanders, with name "Peter DeBoer" below.

Pete DeBoer, who has been mentioned as a potential head coach for #LeafsForever, has now been hired as the new coach for #Isles following Patrick Roy's firing.

Previously, DeBoer had told Craig Berube that he would never pursue Berube's job back in December-January.

Roy wasnt a bad coach, but he wasnt a great coach.
I have no idea if DeBoer can get this team to the playoffs, but even Al Arbour, with all his greatness, probably could not get this current team into the playoffs. No goal scorers. #Isles

Wasn't expecting that from the #ISLES today 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to the island, Peter DeBoer

Vegas started a new trend.
