I almost threw up my breakfast when i saw this.Please keep these 2 as far away as possible from anything to do with the Habs coaching,management.
I pray to Satan this won't happenRoy looks like someone who want to take Bergevin's job.
I’ll take Roy over Bergevin
Full TVA Sports interview -> La chicane Patrick Roy-Mario Tremblay est finie - TVA Sports
26 minutes, will watch later.
Look at Colorado with and without Roy and tell me the same thing.I’ll take Roy over Bergevin
Roy was on Dave Morrisette yesterday and had an excellent interview. John Lu sat with both of them.
And tonight, they will be on Antichambre as Chantal Machabée interviewed them, as well.
The ad is real good.
Look at Colorado with and without Roy and tell me the same thing.
Did Miroslav develop talents I don't know about?I pray to Satan this won't happen

The whole thing looks like a PR tour before Roy takes the GM job. And Molson could have easily set as a condition that Roy corrects any perceived problem with how he "broke up" with the team before that happens. Reuniting with Tremblay fits the bill.
But it was Sakic who built the team.That's a funny statement because it's Roy's emotions that created the current situation.
Roy was upset because he wanted to the team to be built a certain way and Sakic wanted another. After Roy left, the team went parabolic and hasn’t looked back. So outside of a couple good coaching years, keeping Sakic as GM and losing Roy was the right decision.in his small sample size, he won the jack adams/tied franchise record for wins... and then had 2 bad seasons, before quiting because he felt he didn't have enough say in the roster/personnel decisions.
during his time, the Avs had a very odd hockey ops set up, with a GM "in name" and Roy in charge at first, then Sakic being dropped into the mix with, as would seem, a lack of clarity on structure/authority.
i'd say that makes it pretty hard to pin the struggles in year 2-3 squarely on his shoulders, and, if anything, that he walked away from the situation speaks at least to his clarity of conviction, something that has been lacking throughout MB's tenure. That alone would be a breath of fresh air.

Moreover, it is possible that Bergevin has known about this for a year. Many of his comments let me think that he was keeping the seat warm and no longer the active GM since last year. Bergevin would accept to do this so he can get another GM job.
Thus, maybe the negotiations with Molson are more about an amicable release package for the PR services provided during the last year.
