Ahead of the Islanders hosting the Anaheim Ducks tonight, Patrick Roy cleared the air on speculation that he and Lou Lamoriello aren’t on the same page regarding the roster and lineup.
That speculation, innuendo, or informed reading of tea leaves (depending on your reading) stemmed from Roy not speaking to media prior to last game — Lou, who made a series of moves, did instead, and under the Lou regime, why would it ever be necessary to hear from more than one? — and then phrasing things potentially ambiguously afterward.
Anyway, Roy heard the scuttlebutt and sought to shut it down yesterday.
