New Islanders Head Coach Patrick Roy Gets First ‘W’
ELMONT, NEW YORK - JANUARY 21: (L-R) Head coach Patrick Roy speaks with assistant coach John Maclean of the New York Islanders during the game against the Dallas Stars at UBS Arena on January 21, 2024 in Elmont, New York.
A day after being named head coach of the New York Islanders, Patrick Roy got his first victory behind the Isles 3-2 overtime thriller over the Dallas Stars. Roy took over on Saturday after former head coach Lane Lambert was fired by General Manager Lou Lamoriello. Lambert was 19-15-11 this season.
The win keeps the Isles in the mix for the Wild Card out of the Eastern Conference.
Lighting the lamp for the Isles in overtime was Bo Horvat scored the game winner 19 seconds into the OT, after taking a feed from Matt Brazal who had stolen the puck away from Dallas. Brazal’s wrister to Horvat was clean down the left side of the ice, as the Islanders center had a clear one-on-one shot with the net.
“Everybody wanted to get that win not only for ourselves, but for coach,” Horvat said afterwards.
“It’s high intensity, it’s exactly what we needed,” Brazal said about Roy’s first practice as coach. “He’s going to bring a lot of fire and a lot of passion.”
RANGERS WIN
Meanwhile, the New York Rangers took care of the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 out in California on Sunday. The Blue Shirts were powered by four third-period goals, including a go-ahead power play goal by Artemi Panarin.
Will Cuylle, Chris Kreider and Jimmy Vessy also scored for the Blue Shirts in the victory.
The Rangers improve to 29-15-2 on the year.

Life is chaotic which can lead to less time to keep your home or space organized. I know it’s not an easy task to organize your space, but there are so many reasons to. It can have a real effect on your physical and mental health.
Now I want you to imagine walking into a disorganized space. Maybe it’s a cluttered room, a messy desk, or even just a chaotic closet. Immediately, your brain starts to panic. It’s like a tiny fire alarm goes off, warning you that chaos is about to start. First, your mind becomes very confused. You start to feel overwhelmed because you can’t figure out where anything is. It’s like being lost in a maze with no map. You realize is no way you are going to find that one little item you’re desperately on the hunt for. Next, you’ve been there, I’ve been there, and your patience decides to take a vacation. It’s stressful and testing your nerves.
Mental Effects
As the messiness piles up, so does your stress. Your brain can’t handle the chaos anymore, and it starts shutting down. Concentration levels plummet, productivity dwindles, and you find yourself spending hours scrolling through videos completely avoiding tackling that important project.
Physical Effects
Now let’s talk about the physical effects. Tripping over random objects is like getting through an obstacle course. Well, you don’t get through it because it’s never-ending. Bruised, stubbed toes and maybe a few not-so-nice words happen. We’ve all been there.
But there is hope! There is light at the end of the tunnel. With a little bit of effort, some determination, and some great music you can conquer the chaos. Organizing your space will help restore order to your life, and your brain will be more at ease and grateful. Let an organized place set you free.
