Skidding Islanders can’t climb out of early hole in loss to Bruins
NY Post

From the Islanders fans who did not head for the exits after Nikita Zadorov’s empty-net goal: “Fire Lou!”
From the Boston fans who made the trip down to Long Island: “Let’s go Bruins!”

“Every night, they’re there, they’re pushing,” coach Patrick Roy said, insisting on maintaining optimism about his team despite its halting 8-10-5 record with just four regulation wins so far. “It’s the team that [general manager] Lou [Lamoriello] gave me and I’m gonna work extremely hard for these guys and I owe this to the players and to our fans, to make sure that we compete every night.
“Our fans might be pissed off because we’re losing games, but one thing, we compete every night and I would love to see the result be on our side instead of the losing side.”
