A frankly interesting turn of events has just occurred with Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders, and it could have a significant impact on the playoff race.
Indeed, although the New York team had only won three victories in their last eleven games, moving away from a playoff qualification, Patrick Roy's men managed to add two very precious points last night.
Moreover, since the Capitals were defeated by a score of 6 to 2 against the Buffalo Sabres, the Islanders find themselves once again in the midst of a heated battle for the last playoff spot.
Indeed, they are now just one point away from being part of the picture, and everything suggests that Patrick Roy could achieve the unthinkable by allowing Lou Lamoriello to reach his goal of competing with the best teams in the NHL.
Certainly, the last seven games of the season will be of capital importance for the New York Islanders, and it will be very interesting to follow their performances until the conclusion of the 2023-2024 campaign.
Here is the current standings in the Eastern Conference:
Boston Bruins: 103 points in 76 games (1st Atlantic Division)
Florida Panthers: 99 points in 76 games (2nd Atlantic Division)
Toronto Maple Leafs: 95 points in 74 games (3rd Atlantic Division)
New York Rangers: 104 points in 75 games (1st Central Division)
Carolina Hurricanes: 101 points in 75 games (2nd Central Division)
Philadelphia Flyers: 83 points in 76 games (3rd Central Division)
Tampa Bay Lightning: 89 points in 74 games (1st wildcard)
Washington Capitals: 82 points in 74 games (2nd wildcard)
Detroit Red Wings: 82 points in 75 games (OUT for the moment)
New York Islanders: 81 points in 75 games (OUT for the moment)
Pittsburgh Penguins: 79 points in 75 games (OUT for the moment)
It's really impressive to see that Patrick Roy, who arrived in the middle of the regular season, managed to instill his own style of play to his new players and could potentially allow them to fight for the Stanley Cup.
Will we have the opportunity to see Patrick Roy cause a huge surprise and take his team to the playoffs?
