In a bold move, New York Islanders coach Patrick Roy benched star player Mathew Barzal for being late to the team bus, emphasizing the importance of team rules and culture. Despite the team's struggles, Roy's decision sets a tone for accountability, with talented players like Barzal, Bo Horvat, Anders Lee, and Matthew Schaefer expected to uphold the same standards. The Islanders' GM and front office support this approach, believing it will benefit the team in the long run, even if it means sacrificing short-term results.
