I think it was for the best. He didn't care enough about possession in a possession league. He would have had to be the outlier to win, and his young guys kinda stalled under him. im kinda glad hes out...

I think he's just positioning himself to coach the Canadiens when they fire Therrien.

Can't say I am all that surprised.
He wasn't great at his job, seems to be crazy, is an ego maniac and seems to have his eye on Montreal/Quebec City (whether NHL or back to his own team).
As a fan of a Western Conference team I am disappointed as that Avs team has a ton of talent to work with and if they get someone competent in they could really improve fast.

Agree with much of this, but the timing odd, but when it comes to Roy, guess shouldn't be surprised...the volatile one...

The timing of this is extremely odd, and puts the Avalanche in a bad situation. All of the coaching vacancies were filled before the draft and it was assumed Roy would be there next season. Coming from a Red Wing fan I might be a little biased...

Its for the best, the man was a hell of a goalie, but I don't think he's a very good hockey coach. Montreal hiring him would be another in a long list of mistakes in Montreal recently.

Good new... Hopefully Varlamov will bounce back next year. His GAA has risen every year Roy was coach.
