Patrick Roy has said goodbye to the Colorado Avalanche. I may have to, too, at least for a while. I just don’t know if I can be a fan right now.
I got the news he had resigned in much the same way I got the news that he had retired — an offhand comment from a friend while I was in the car. Unfortunately, I was on my way to work. I had to turn around and go home. I couldn’t stop crying.
In a way, I’d been expecting the news since Thursday, April 7, 2016 — the day of the Dallas Stars game.
