Patrick Roy's Adaptation to Lou Lamoriello's Regulations

Legendary goaltender and now head coach of the New York Islanders, Patrick Roy, has quickly found himself adapting to the stringent rules set by general manager Lou Lamoriello.

Despite his status as an NHL icon, Roy is not exempt from the long-established protocols of one of hockey's most respected executives.

Compliance with Grooming Standards

A significant aspect of Lamoriello's rules pertains to grooming. Known for his once-prominent beard, Roy made a noticeable change by appearing clean-shaven, indicating his adherence to the team's grooming standards.
This transformation didn't go unnoticed, as Roy commented on his new look with a mix of humor and reluctance, saying:
Patrick Roy told me that, yes, he had to shave the beard. «That one hurt,» he said with a grin. #Isles

The Surprising Leadership Change

This shift in coaching style came after a surprising move by Lamoriello, who replaced former head coach Lane Lambert with Patrick Roy. Despite Roy's absence from NHL coaching for some time, his appointment signifies no exception to the established rules.
This decision by Lamoriello, although unexpected, reflects his confidence in Roy's potential to drive the team forward.

The Potential of the Roy-Lamoriello Partnership

Despite their different personalities, the combination of Roy's fiery demeanor and Lamoriello's strategic acumen hints at a potentially successful partnership, as the Islanders embark on this new chapter under their guidance.
