Friedman: “If there’s one time I believe that may have reached out to talk to Patrick Roy, I think it might be the Blue Jackets.” Also connects Laviolette to the Rangers.

Hiring Roy is the boom/bust choice, I like those kinds of gambles.
Got to wonder if we’d consider Roy as a goalie coach in addition to being head coach
If he’s the head coach, who’d become a goalie coach? They’d probably have to agree on a lot id imagine.
I’m into it. We’ve already had one head coach who once tried to fight the opposing team. Roy once tried to bust through the glass between the benches to go after Bruce Boudreau when he was Avalanche coach.
I’m warming up to the idea of Roy as coach. He’s a control freak and I worry he will butt heads with the front office, but we need someone to get the best of Elvis.
