No reasons as if it's acceptable to let the opponents intentionnally severely injure your players? Or at least that's what he thought too. Besides, which fault was it that the goons were on the ice for the last 6 seconds? Boudreau did put his goons out so....was Roy suppose to do a Carlye out of himself and put his skills guys there to not start something but yet see his skilled players get jumped? The whole thing was started because of that scrum in the end. Boudreau started it. Roy finished it.
And yet nobody agrees with Roy and he was fined ten grand. You have to REALLY try hard to make it seem like Roy was in the right here man. If he was really upset about it there are better ways of handling it, the game was already over for Pete's sake. And if he was upset with Boudreau to begin with then why didn't he go after him first?
He yaps at the players on the ice, then gets into it with Perry and then with Boudreau. And then he totally loses it and starts pushing the partition over.
As far as your bolded comment, again, you can't be serious. So what you saw in that game was exactly the reason why you didn't want him?
Yes.
In my opinion he's an unpredictable hothead. This incident only reinforces my beliefs. Why would this be hard to see? And even if you disagree with me (and that's fair enough) you don't see where I'd be coming from on this? Really?
Dude, for months I said the guy's a hothead and we shouldn't hire him. He goes out and blows a fuse... YES it reinforces my beliefs (even if you don't see things that way.)
And what if he is enough of a good teacher of the game and what if his emotions makes his team play with emotion and maybe become a winning team....wouldn't that be enough? But no...he loses his temper sometimes so we don't want him? Give me 5 little crisis like that a year, a winning regular season and a great playoff performance and I'd take that for the next 3 years. Then....at year 4, if he's that bad and players want him to be replaced....so be it. Time for another one....as if we didn't do that before even with the most calm coaches we had...
Of course it would be. And as I said I could be wrong about him. Maybe this will help his team, maybe they'll respect him for it. And maybe he'll be a great coach.
But then again even if the above is true, maybe he has another blowup again and undoes a lot of the good things that he's done. And that's the problem with this guy, you just never know.
There are other coaches out there who I'm sure would be "good teacher" and would be passionate and "emotional" without the freak factor.
Like I said, maybe he'll be a great coach. Then again he could be a disaster. I personally think that you can get emotion and passion somewhere else without the risk. Obviously you think Roy is worth the risk... I don't.
I would have liked to see that scenario though.....Boston vs Habs.....and Julien badmouthing PK and Roy just snapping at Julien and the rest of the bruins players...Everybody here would raise a statue out of Roy for standing up and closing Julien big ****ing mouth. Julien and his diving press conference was one of the worst junior stuff ever and yet it worked. He discredited our entire organization. And here the only thing Therrine had to say is to ask Julien to mind his own business.....Sorry, that deserved way more.
Sure, we all want to see somebody yell at Julien. I'd love to see George Parros beat the tar out of Brad Marchand... Doesn't mean it's the smart thing to do though.
