DENVER -- New York Islanders coach Patrick Roy stepped onto the ice at Ball Arena and briefly glanced toward the rafters.
Yep, his familiar No. 33 was still up there with all the other banners representing retired Colorado Avalanche numbers.
Being back in town for Roy brought back memories of helping Colorado win two Stanley Cup titles as a goaltender. It also made him reflect on the bitter end, when he abruptly resigned as Avalanche coach two months before the start of the NHL 2016-17 regular season.
