Well, didn’t see that one coming...
If someone last week would have told me that Patrick Roy would soon resign from his role as head coach of the Avalanche, I would have said that person was crazy. And now, apparently, the rest of us are. My Facebook feed is erupting in a stream of mini heart attacks as the news begins to spread. But in light of the hysteria, let me just say this: Roy quitting as head coach and VP of Hockey Operations for the Avalanche could fairly well be a blessing in disguise.
Why, you ask?
