Does this kind of thing actually work to motivate NHLers? I mean these guys are adults, some of them millionaires. This kind of hard ass approach usually doesn’t work or loses effectiveness after a season.

Fun fact. If normal people aren’t doing their job properly, they get fired.

I think I could skate faster then that!

During basketball practice we called those suicides

Hard ass coaches like this don’t last in the league anymore. Look at Darly Sutter. Guys hate playing for him and give up. Kills all fun of the game. Roy wont last. Players have more power.

I think this can work in the short term to improve their play but hopefully for the Islanders this button isn’t pushed too often.

Why is it called a bag skate?

This is no way to build morale. Now having the guys flip tractor tires across a field that would work better.

Too many softies in this post that have never played hockey at a competitive level (or at all). It works, and it gets a message across to stop fucking around. Also with the side effect of improving endurance/conditioning.
And putting forward a terrible effort at home and losing to an absolutely dogshit Kraken team that was playing their second away game of a back to back.. Now that is hitting absolute rock bottom, which warrants this.

Pat Roy will last 12 months as a coach.. sorry

San Joase definitely needs a bunch of this lol

Patrick Roy up to his old tricks.

All I want to say is “again, again, again, who do you play for”?

Every single High School coach I had would not count those gassers and run them again. There would be vomit or people passing out before we stopped.

How do you like me now?!

They’re calling you “Captain Blood”!

It’s interesting to see their more natural strides come out the more tired they get.

Something about a coach whistling with their mouth over using the whistle always made it seem like they were more pissed off

Do some herbies

Fuck man, I do not miss those from when I played

I would have thought this would be the kings after that 0-7 game

When I played juniors if we were ever swept we’d have a full no puck practice that next Monday or Tuesday and we’d have garbage bins on the ice just for the puke. Was awful but made us just play harder on the weekends so we didn’t have to experience it

My travel team skated suicides, blue line, red, blue, re and back. Whoever won was done and we’d go to the last player

makes me glad i never got into sports as a kid this just seems like torture more than anything else lol

I’m a noob Hockey fan. I’ve never played, but have a huge respect for anyone playing. My question is why are these guys doing suicides? What did they do wrong for receiving this? Lose the game?

Big 3s, fun times.

My islanders have been so comfortable the past few years. They all signed huge and long contracts with no trade clauses. There’s almost never a threat of a younger player taking your spot. We call them the cul de sac crew because it seems like they all got huge money, huge houses, live in the same neighborhood, gulf together all summer. If they miss the playoffs they’re bummed, but then they go have a beer at the barbecue at Josh Bailey’s house and everything is okay. I’m glad Roy is whipping them into shape, and letting them know, you gotta be a real athlete that’s hungry to win to get anywhere playing for us. I love it
