Reunited and it feels so good

And then after 10 years of Roy, you'll take Renaud Lavoie over Roy.

Holy f***balls, no, never

Roy has more neurons in his digestive system than Renaud has in his entire brain

 

[BLONG7]

I’ll take Roy over Bergevin

I would take Youppi over Bergevin...

I don’t care about him breaking up with the Habs. Ask him about the domestic violence and how it’s rubbed off on his kids who are also violent shitheads.

Competitive he is. The domestic violence subject is one where I don't have much real evidence. I think you are at best speculating. Yes, there was a domestic violence call, however, I know too much about this subject to speak against Patrick without knowing the facts (women, or in-laws, are often violent and blaming the male victims). I don't know either way and I'm not defending anyone (this is for the court of law where he was cleared). He appears to be in a more peaceful frame of mind over the past 3-5 years, that's all I can judge him on. Michelle Piuze is now in court for illegally practicing.

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.

This is at best a ridiculous analysis.

What makes you say that?

And people were super excited about Bergevin over Gauthier.

Been there, done that.

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.

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.

That's what I said yesterday. Roy is publicly burying the hatchet so there's no doubt that there's no bad blood anymore, between all parties.

Me thinks we have to accept he'll be our next GM.

This guy got it.

Oh ok I thought that you were actually complimenting Roy.

I wasn't


On the very first day I warned people that he seemed to like photo ops and seemed way too cozy with the media. I posted that right in his first PC

By saying he has a lot of neurons in his gut?

I was another forum at the time.

Some were concerned early on that he was hiring his friends.

I became anti Bergevin over the Subban fiasco.

K, whatever. Leaving that aside.

What would you expect of Roy as a GM?

The "it's on me" PC sealed the deal for me.
I've been waiting for this moment for 64 months.

At the very least, a clear vision and accountability.

 

[peate]

It might work, it might not. At least with Roy, we know what we're getting (Into) .

Accountability with a real price to be paid.

This is at best a ridiculous analysis.

Is Colorado a better team now or when Roy was there? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Teams are built, and they take 5-8 years to be built. Roy was one of the builders of the current team. He left a memorable impression on the current leaders.

Your simplistic argument is not connected to reality, go live a little and you'll see.

The current team would never do this, and it comes from Roy.

This is bret hart and Shawn michaels all over again.

Could you elaborate on Roy's positive contributions to the Avalanche?

 

[abo9]

Ahhh I found that weird that they would "bury the hatchet" out of the blue after so long. Like... who cares at this point when both are pretty much out of sight?

Roy as the next GM (or coach?) makes sense. Idk if it would be good, but it'd be damn more entertaining. And he wants to win, not just participate like MB

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Maybe Roy’s President of Hockey Operations and gets to pick his own GM

I don’t know why you’re making personal jabs at my life experience which I can assure you, is quite extensive. You’ve also not shown in any way what Roy contributed to a team that was built by Sakic. So I’m not sure where you’re going with these posts but hopefully it’ll be more constructive and insightful than Roy is awesome and you’re a dumb dumb.
