New York Islanders head coach Patrick Roy has always a unique coaching style, probably most known for pulling his goaltenders with absurd amounts of time left in games, but this time he has outdone himself.
No that it not a typo, Patrick Roy actually held a 13 minute practice ahead of game 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Carolina Hurricanes, with one Hurricanes reporter calling it the shortest practice he had ever seen.
The two backstops rotated starts down the stretch with Varlamov outplaying the struggling Sorokin, who will watch his second straight game from the sidelines (hopefully with a chair to sit in this time!).
The Islanders trail 1-0 in their first round matchup against the powerhouse Hurricanes, and perhaps a 13 minute practice and a surprising goalie announcement is the spark they need to even the series tonight in Raleigh.
