I’ve read all the reaction I can to Patrick Roy’s resignation as coach of the Colorado Avalanche, and it’s shocked me how many people seem to have forgotten who Patrick Roy was when he played.
Yes, he was arguably the best goalie of all time, and yes, he was fanatical about winning, but he was also extremely confident when it came to just how good a player he was.
Many of the comments I’ve read have talked about Roy leaving because he wanted to win and didn’t think the team was making the right decisions to do that.
