Interestingly, he doesn't say anything abt Burnaby Joe, just whoever the VP of hockey Ops is. Saint Patrick was one of my fave goalies. The Avs looked great under him during that first year, but for whatever reason, the team never improved and seemed to slip backwards.vic wrote:Patrick Roy quits, looks like him and Burnaby Joe aren't on the same page or he and Joe have one idea and the owners have another...
http://www.tsn.ca/roy-resigns-from-aval ... n-1.544058I have thought long and hard over the course of the summer about how I might improve this team to give it the depth it needs and bring it to a higher level. To achieve this, the vision of the coach and VP-Hockey Operations needs to be perfectly aligned with that of the organization. He must also have a say in the decisions that impact the team's performance. These conditions are not currently met.

So if those titles are true, he's either referring to himself as "the coach and VP-Hockey Operations" or he's referring to himself as the "coach" and Joe as the "VP-Hockey Operations"On May 10, 2013, the Avalanche promoted Sakic Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations. In this expanded role, Sakic has the final say on all matters regarding hockey personnel.[55] He now shares most of the duties normally held by a general manager with head coach Patrick Roy, who also doubles as vice president of hockey operations. General Manager Greg Sherman remained in his post, but now serves mainly in an advisory role to Roy and Sakic.
Hmm.. maybe it is Burnaby Joe then. I always thought those 2 got along very well, as I seemed to recall Joe brought in his old buddy Saint Patrick for the job. I guess the constant losing and with things not going well, it can change things.vic wrote:

Either way, Roy just have his old team the two finger salute 1 month before players report for physicals.

Because.... why NOW?Mëds wrote:I don't see what everyone's harping about. Sure Roy is arrogant, that's no surprise.
He's the coach and VP/HO. If he doesn't agree with management he should leave. You really have to read between the lines to say this is totally the result of Roy's ego. The coach is the one steering the ship on the ice, he better agree with the direction. If he doesn't show him the door.....in this case he showed himself out.
