Patrick Roy denies early goal pull was due to analytics

CALGARY, Alberta — The irony in Patrick Roy’s comments following the Islanders’ 4-2 loss to the Flames on Saturday is that Roy might cite analytics publicly more than any other coach in the league. On this day, though, after being asked whether his early goalie pull had anything to do with what the stats were telling him — (narrator: it does) — Roy didn’t want to hear about the numbers. “I believe that we’re gonna win the game,” Roy said of his reasons for going to an empty net with eight minutes left in regulation with his team trailing 4-1.
