Fans took to social media to share their reactions, with many expressing their confidence in Patrick Roy's ability to lead the team to success.

With the Rangers aiming to win now and the pressure on Drury to make a defining hire, fans believe that Patrick Roy is the perfect fit for the job. They envision him as the next head coach of the New York Rangers, bringing his wealth of experience, leadership, and much-needed energy to the team.

Only time will tell if these fan predictions become a reality, but the excitement surrounding the potential hiring of Patrick Roy as the Rangers' head coach continues to grow.

Patrick Roy's Quebec Remparts Triumph in Memorable Memorial Cup Victory

In the most crucial and pressure-packed game of the season, the Quebec Remparts opened the scoring and set the tone early on. Despite being an unheralded fifth-round NHL draft pick, the player stepped up to take the lead for the Remparts in the opening period.

The second period continued with a balanced attack from both teams, but the Remparts seemed to have an edge in their gameplay. Both goaltenders, William Rousseau and Thomas Milic, were excellent at the start of the frame, making impressive saves.

As the period progressed, Malatesta of the Remparts nearly scored on a breakaway, only to be denied by Milic. However, the Remparts' persistence paid off, and just before the nine-minute mark, Malatesta found the back of the net with a well-executed passing play involving Rochette and Komarov.

The goal put the Remparts up by two in a tight game, and Malatesta celebrated by gesturing toward the Thunderbirds' fans.

Entering the third period, the Remparts continued to dominate play and control the pace of the game. They outshot the Seattle Thunderbirds 10-2 halfway through the period and seemed to have the answer to Seattle's strong skating abilities.

Seattle had a chance to get back in the game with a power play, but Rousseau stood tall in the net and turned away any scoring chances. Disaster struck for the Thunderbirds when a failed toe-drag on the power play resulted in a stolen puck by Justin Robidas, leading to a goal by Gaudet on an odd-man rush. The score now stood at 3-0 in favor of the Remparts, effectively sealing their victory and the championship.

Frustration mounted for Seattle, leading to a needless cross-checking penalty by Dylan Guenther. Quebec capitalized on the power play, with Zachary Bolduc scoring to extend their lead further. A late goal by Charles Savoie made it a five-goal lead, and Rousseau's incredible save off the goal line solidified the Remparts' dominance.
