Where is the angry, tough Patrick Roy with three regulation wins all season?

He's happy after every game and elated after the three regulation wins in sixteen games, excuse me, but where is the guy hired who was screaming day one last season, and in that first game against Dallas?
Spare me the injuries, the special teams are awful again, and it's a miracle they got a 6/5 goal to even tie Edmonton. I guess the effort is there every game to be what they are, three regulation wins all season, and Dobson still looking as lost as he did since his injury last season entering the playoffs. Sorokin is back to carrying team, faced 44 shots against Edmonton, and even with George looking like someone Roy trusts, Edmonton was 7-7 entering this game.
Fire Lamoriello? This franchise is bleeding red ink, most of the dead weight all over this roster would clear waivers. 44-21-32-53-17-18. Tsyplakov, Nelson are going to re-sign to have Palmieri as his wing? Not happening, and Nelson looks slow old with Palmieri lumbering along, no incoming person is going to fix this mess until the contracts expire, Roy has years on his deal and despite junior team management can't do both jobs, and we know at best the failed Belmont experiment will be 1/2 filled with kids and that's it.
It's a miracle 12 over got them two playoff spots, it won't happen again, especially when the 20-3 shot periods really get worse.
But Roy will be happy, he won't be critical, some games you have stinkers, this team rarely has this but this is what they are.
Look out to see where Malkin, mascot Ledecky, and Collins fall with the Dolan vs Leiweke war as Msg people will replace Oakview/Leiweke/Azoff people at the failed Belmont experiment.
