RicochetII Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm happy as a Roy fan, but disappointed as a Canadiens fan, to read the following : http://www.baynews9.com/content/38/2009/5/...che%20president If Roy is in talks for any position with the Avs' organization, they may have pre-empted any attempt we could have made to do the same. Whether it be as an assistant to ween him in or as the head coach next season, I would have loved to see him involved with the Canadiens again. He isn't perfect and he isn't necessarily the best candidate, but he is the epitome of what a Montreal player should be. Passionate, indomnitable and a champion.

RicochetII Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I don't want a hot head rookie coach and i am a huge Patrick roy fan. How about a hot head rookie assistant coach? Carbonneau fiddled while Rome burned. Gainey didn't do much fiddling at all. I'd rather have the fire on our side than the fiddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny_canuck_21 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 IMO it probably won't be that long before Roy is coaching somewhere in the NHL. He has had some success in the Q as a head coach, & he is not that far removed from playing in the NHL. He appears to be a fast learner, & definitely a faster learner than Carbonneau, & I don't think he has any problems communicating with his players.

Guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I would certainly accept Roy with open arms as an assistant or more specifically,,,a goalie coach. There's a guy that a young pair of goalies can certainly look up to and evolve with. I'm not familiar with Patrick's teaching skills, but i would be open to giving him the ball in the short run and see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be exactly what the doctor ordered. Would be a great move,my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well,for once can we ever get someone that shows some damm emotion behind the bench. All we see are folding arms,& blank stares Man,Pat burns remember his passion,Jacques Demer's. Someone with emotion,hot head or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbGamer Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Good Riddens, Kinda scared me the rumours he was comming here. Never liked him.. VERY Happy he is not comming here.

Fire Granato first at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmash Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Looks like he's going to Colorado, thankfully. I don't want him anywhere near this team. He's a decent coach with teenagers, but I can't see him being able to properly coach adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 As long as he doesn't come here. I want an experienced NHL coach to be our next bench boss. Not another Habs alumni from the late 80s and 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a decent coach with teenagers, but I can't see him being able to properly coach adults. I agree. It will be interesting to see how he does - i could see him doing quite well...a few years down the road. Wouldnt it be fitting if he cut his teeth in colorado, made the rookie mistakes & developed into a great coach...and then came here in 5 or 6 years ?

mtl_-lt-3emHabs Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Maybe GM Patrick will return the Habs a favour and trade us there super stars for a bag of pucks After all, doesn't he want us to forgive him This could be really great news Come on Patrick get mad at your new team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenIsThaFuture Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 According to James Mirtle, reportedly the Avs upped the ante with the GM offer because the Habs offered Patrick a coaching job as well. http://www.fromtherink.com/2009/5/25/88593...er-roy-coach-gm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
