"There's no way we're gonna sit on the lead. Ain't no way. On every team that I played for, we never sat on it. We found ways to continue to play the same way." Roy's #Isles No Longer Sitting Back With Lead, Major Change In Mindset @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/sdhnTmuznj
#isles look reborn. Needed a streak to get them back in the mix… and now a crucial Cali trip looms. Roy’s odd line combinations… don’t look so odd at all. Credit to the coach for a spark that has ignited every player. SJ, ANA and LA ahead
