http://www.tsn.ca/roy-resigns-from-aval ... n-1.544058I have thought long and hard over the course of the summer about how I might improve this team to give it the depth it needs and bring it to a higher level. To achieve this, the vision of the coach and VP-Hockey Operations needs to be perfectly aligned with that of the organization. He must also have a say in the decisions that impact the team's performance. These conditions are not currently met.

I know it's Wikipedia, but:
So if those titles are true, he's either referring to himself as "the coach and VP-Hockey Operations" or he's referring to himself as the "coach" and Joe as the "VP-Hockey Operations"On May 10, 2013, the Avalanche promoted Sakic Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations. In this expanded role, Sakic has the final say on all matters regarding hockey personnel.[55] He now shares most of the duties normally held by a general manager with head coach Patrick Roy, who also doubles as vice president of hockey operations. General Manager Greg Sherman remained in his post, but now serves mainly in an advisory role to Roy and Sakic.
Either way, Roy just have his old team the two finger salute 1 month before players report for physicals.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I don't see what everyone's harping about. Sure Roy is arrogant, that's no surprise.
He's the coach and VP/HO. If he doesn't agree with management he should leave. You really have to read between the lines to say this is totally the result of Roy's ego. The coach is the one steering the ship on the ice, he better agree with the direction. If he doesn't show him the door.....in this case he showed himself out.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Hmm.. maybe it is Burnaby Joe then. I always thought those 2 got along very well, as I seemed to recall Joe brought in his old buddy Saint Patrick for the job. I guess the constant losing and with things not going well, it can change things.vic wrote:

Lots a bucks!!
I can see he may be a tad frustrated.
Really though, Joe was so vague, he's either a bold faced liar or he really is clueless as to what's going on,
OR!!! He thinks, or knows, the hammer is about to fall on him and Pat knew too so "He Did It My Way", or so the song goes...

Nothing has happened since July 1 (except re-signing Barrie 2 weeks ago which Roy may not have liked).
Leaving NOW puts the Avs in a tough spot, not much time to find the right coach.
And we all know Roy has a history of hissy fits.
Sakic was surprised, it was a sudden move, put 2 + 2 together.
Roy has walked out on his team due to extreme anger issues in the past.
I was going to mention that domestic violence incident but then thought better of it.

He's walked out on his team as a player and as a coach.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Didn't he also decline the Olympics one year under speculation that he feared he would fail a drug test for PEDs?
He was hired with the promise of a role greater than coach. He obviously felt that he didn't have a strong enough say. But his timing? Ya, perfect Roy. Hit em when it hurts.
