The amount of money I would’ve paid to be a fly on the wall in the Islanders locker room last night after a brutal 5-0 loss. Since taking over in 2018, Barry Trotz has proven why he’s one of the best coaches in the NHL on multiple occasions.
To hear him be so critical after an embarrassing performance last night wasn’t a surprise, and it’s one of the reasons why fans love him so much.
