What controversy surrounds the New York Islanders?
It's a big day, boys. Big weekend. Big weekend. I'll get to it. I'll explain it all.
Yeah, you don't have to. We don't talk about that here. This is the hockey show. We talk hockey. We got Otto Okao from ESPN on later. If you are watching on DraftKings Network, you can watch that on YouTube by going to the Levitar YouTube page. That's Levitar and Friends. Search out the playlist, and we are on the hockey show folder. So you can watch it there, or you can listen on the podcast. It's an excellent explanation. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate you. I appreciate you. All right, so let's start off with the New York Islanders so I can continue. Your favorite topic. Yeah, I need to continue the streak of bashing them for signing racists. All right, so the New York Islanders have lost to the Lightning and effectively was knocked out of playoff contention basically on Wednesday.
Why is Patrick Roy critiquing Anthony Duclair?
And during the postgame scrum, Patrick Raw had some ire towards Anthony Duclair. Here's the sound. Duke, Claire played only a little over 12 minutes. He was god-awful. He was god-awful. He had a bad game. That's why I didn't play him a lot. And he's lucky to be in the lineup. Sorry if I lose it on him right now, but that's all I feel. Just what are you seeing that he's not doing? He's not skating, he's not competing, he's not moving his feet. He's not playing up to what we expect from him. Do you feel like that's an effort thing? I think it's an effort thing.
Okay. Credit to the journalist there for the quick follow-ups.
That's not easy in the moment. The PR staff for the Islanders actually cut the video portion of that short because that didn't sound too good. So, yeah, I got to say Patrick Raw is probably right about Duclair. Seven goals and four assists for 11 points in 44 games. That's not going to get it done. But he did get injured earlier in the season with a
groin injury yes and so and for a guy whose game is predicated on speed as we know anthony duclair he's a fast guy he flies up the wing that's like what his bread and butter is yeah to basically cut one of his legs out from under him with a groin injury like even when he came back i'm willing to bet that he wasn't at 100 just because you know how groin injuries are they can take a long time for you to heal yeah now you can play through it but when your game is based on being able to move your legs at 100 speed speed speed Like that would really cut into his ability to perform at the best of his abilities. So it's not terribly surprising. What is surprising is for the coach to call him out so publicly like that.
Yeah, and that's the physical side of it, by the way. The emotional side is, even before the season started, Lou Lamorello, who was the GM of the Islanders, is still going by this archaic rule of keeping your hair short and having facial hair. There's a lot more to the rules on this team that's just ridiculous. The Yankees aren't even using that.
I was just going to say, who does Lou Lamorello think he is? The Yankees dropped their... Beards rule this offseason he got the idea from Steinbrenner I think they were like friends or something back in the day and that's where he got the idea it makes sense but it's just like the Yankees dropped that rule and I know that it was later than the season started whatever but if the Yankees can drop that rule who are you the New York Islanders like seriously no seriously Lou had that since he was the GM of the Devils he took that with him to all the other stops that he made so this has been going on for a good 30 years now this stupid ass rule you know what it's 2025 Roy
