This is why people love Patrick Roy

1 game coached, 1 game misconduct, 1 - $10,000 fine

So this is what Roy was pissed about?

Looking at the replay in slo-mo he barely touched him....looks like the DIVEalanche are back!

"What Boudreau said was all lies," Roy told reporters. "I don't talk to players, I respect all the players. I'm certainly not going to get too involved in this one, but when you talk about classless - when you're lying, this is classless."

Oh yeah, he's learned his lesson :rollseyes:

Roy making friends

Boudreau explained after the game that he confronted Roy between the benches because the rookie NHL coach was yelling at his players.

"I didn't expect that," Boudreau told reporters Wednesday night. "It's not our job to go back and forth with their players. All of a sudden, I told him, 'That's bull, that's bush league,' and he did what he did."

Roy fired back at Boudreau's comments after the Avalanche held practice on Thursday.

"What Boudreau said was all lies," Roy told reporters. "I don't talk to players, I respect all the players. I'm certainly not going to get too involved in this one, but when you talk about classless - when you're lying, this is classless."

I'd like for Jonathan Roy to go on a permanent vacation...

Don't think I've ever included the words "love" and "Patrick Roy" in the same sentence.

What about Claude Lemieux?

Yeah, on second thought, I'm sure I've used love and those names in a sentence.

I loved watching Patrick Roy give up 7 goals in game 7 of the WCF's in 2002.

I loved watching Claude Lemieux get the ass beating he deserved in 1997.

I take back my previous statement.

You deserve rep every day for a year

And bring more people into the big tent to watch the circus live...

It worked in the Q. Attendance was always way up in most Q rinks when Roy came to town. Most other team's fans loved to hate him.

lost in the shenanigans

Nathan MacKinnon (18 years, 31 days) youngest NHL player with 2 or more points in a game since January 8, 1944, (Ted Kennedy) #elias

Oddly enough, Alexander Barkov is exactly 1 day younger and makes his debut tonight.

Has Jeremy Roenick chimed in yet on Patty Wah's performance last night?

Is Patrick Roy on the hook for paying his fine?

Bob McKenzie - A common practice in the NHL when we hear about a coach being fined $10,000 is that they don't actually cash the cheque. They put it in a security deposit and it's basically a good behavior bond. If you don't act up in the next six months or a year, you get the money back. But in this particular case, because Patrick Roy is such a high profile guy and because there was such physical contact with that partition that went down - and almost onto Bruce Boudreau - my understanding is that Roy is actually out of pocket by $10,000. He got a lot of attention from a lot of the coaches in the NHL; Ken Hitchcock saying that was a junior hockey move.

One of the coaches I talked to said that if there was a lot of chirping involved - which was alleged but Roy denied - that he would take three steps. No. 1: Send a little note from trainer to trainer telling the guy to calm down. No. 2: Go over to the boards or the bench and tell him to calm down. No. 3: Set up a private meeting at a barn or a ring and settle your differences.
