Lou Lamoriello is putting his faith in Saint Patrick.
The Islanders general manager made a change behind the bench Saturday, firing head coach Lane Lambert and replacing him with Hockey Hall-of-Fame goaltender Patrick Roy.
The 58-year-old Roy’s legacy includes complete dominance on the ice.
Between the pipes, no one did it better.
NHL fans who remember what the league was like 30 years ago know what that means.
Roy played 20 seasons in the NHL, splitting his career between the Canadiens and Avalanche.
During that time, Roy assembled an unrivaled resume.
Among his more notable accomplishments:
Roy won his first Cup as a 20-year-old rookie with the Canadiens in 1986.
