I'm French but born in Calgary. My dad left when I was five and never learned my Language or part of my heritage. When I was young and ignorant I even was mad that french people demand we put equal language on products and would say "we don't live in Quebec why do they bother us." Not even realizing what I lost because I was fully English "squarehead" I understand now how important keeping our heritage is not only the French language but our core values that keep us who we are. I wish I had the wisdom you have of both sides and I appreciate your respect for your dedication to what I never got to have in my life. Thanks for keeping the "flame" burning brother.

I loved his time as Avalanche coach as well. However, the way he left definitely makes it hard to say he should coach again. I'll cheer for him no matter what but the way he bailed on the Avs and Sakic makes it clear who Patrick looks out for the most. Himself. If he becomes a coach again, prepare for a crazy ride and prepare for the possibility that he could get suspended or quit anytime he snaps at something he perceives as not in his interest. Hopefully he learned you can't quit on a team a few weeks before the season and expect other NHL teams to want to hire you.

My favorite Patrick Roy moment was the very first NHL game I ever watched. I knew nothing of hockey at 6-7 years old and saw him Game 3 vs NYR 1986 Wales Finals where as I kid I was so impressed by his performance, this was my introduction of hockey seeing Patrick making a performance for the ages. Ironically I think he is the perfect fit for the NYR, already a good team, a coach to help develop the young rising stars of the NYR and bringing a structed style with the NYR, they would be a force next year

[@canuckerbird]

Similar story for me. 8 year old in Vancouver when I watched my first full game. It was the semi final of the 1998 Nagano Olympics. Canada vs Czech Republic, Roy vs. Hasek. Both goalies were amazing that game. Ended in heartbreak for Canada in the shootout, but the way Roy played really captivated me and instantly made him my favourite player on a team literally full of stars.

My Patrick Roy memory was that, my team was good, but once he joined mid-season, we became very good. Now, wins were taking place nightly, and hockey fever was mounting in the Mile high city. Raising the cup year 1, brought the first professional championship to a second place city, and that city changed.

I also remember joking with my brother-in-law about how we needed to nail Roy's skates to the ice because he loved to skate around outside the net so much. So I gotta put his attempt to skate coast to coast (which he was penalized for because goalies can't cross center ice with the puck) as one of my favorite memories too.
