Roy Speaks

The Avalanche are 6-1 under new coach, and Hockey Hall of Famer, Patrick Roy. Color us a bit surprised. We thought his intensity wouldn't play in the locker room and that style wouldn't mesh with the current attitude of NHL players. But a 6-0 start, and with a passion for the game, and his players, that would be tough to match, Roy looks like the real deal behind the bench.

If you didn't get a chance to watch this interview before last night's 4-2 loss to Detroit check it out. Ex-Wing goalie, and victim of the 2nd goalie fight, Chris Osgood talks to Patrick about coaching, the rivalry and their fight. It give a good insight into Roy's coaching philosophy along with a laugh or two about the bad old days when the Avs hated the Wings and the Wings hated the Avs.

Patty Roy. We thinks we'se going to like you Coach.
