It was more than a little eye-catching to see Patrick Roy, one of the NHL’s greatest goalies, standing in the crease with Ilya Sorokin giving some tips.

New York Islanders netminder Ilya Sorokin has been struggling lately. After winning seven straight games, Sorokin is 0-4-0 in his last four games with a 4.5 GAA and an .818 SV%, getting yanked from the net after allowing five goals on 11 shots in their 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday.

It’s never a good thing when the head coach has to stop practice and lay into the team. It’s even worse when that happens 57 games into the season, fresh off a 5-1 beatdown at the hands of their archrivals and the season on the brink.

Patrick Roy has tried to remain calm and positive during his tenure as the New York Islanders bench boss. But, on Wednesday morning after a 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday, the Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender didn't like what he was seeing and let it be known.
