For The Love Of Sweet Baby Jesus…Hire Him Now

Remember what it was like to be reading about your team searching for a new coach, while four others duke it out in the Conference Finals? 

Me either.  But, hey. Dive fans are right in the middle of it, those that are left anyway.

And, to no one’s surprise, SOL is a leading candidate….according to him and Mark Kiszla.

“Yes, I will talk to the Avalanche if they call,” Roy said.

I can’t describe to you how much fun that would be, watching Roy twitch, then melt, on the Dive bench.  Kizsla?  Oh, he’s all for it.  He’s in baby.

A few quotes from his column this morning.

It’s not difficult to imagine the chant of a capacity crowd at the Pepsi Center as those regally cocksure eyes stare out from the Colorado bench on opening night:

Roy! Roy! Roy!

The building would shake with anticipation, as the aura of invincibility that has been slowly evaporating from the Avalanche returned with the intensity and defiance that oozes from Roy’s pores.

Oh yes he did.  “Cocksure.”  Curious.  Was Roy feeling “cocksure” when he was serenaded off the ice at the Joe?  I’m sure he was.  As for the rest of that statement…jesus.  I felt dirty just reading it and I thought Woody Paige was bad.

What’s missing from the Avs was as glaringly obvious as the disgusting red sea of Detroit jerseys in Colorado’s home arena during the playoffs. The buzz is gone.

Hell yes.  You go Transplants.  I’m gonna cut, paste and print.  Buzz is gone, eh Mark?  Yeah.  Well.  Might want to start with the GM, unless you decide to give that title to the SOL as well.  Feel free.  I’m all for it.

“What I do as coach is pretty much what we did in Colorado with the Avalanche. I’m an offensive-minded coach. We try to give a show to our fans,” said Roy, who has shown he can teach young players and guide them to a championship during three seasons on the bench of Quebec Remparts, a junior men’s team north of the border.

Yes. A molder of young men.  Role model for us all.

“For me to step up and be a coach in the NHL,” Roy said, “it would have to be a perfect situation.”

St. Patrick returns to Colorado and vows to lead the Avs back to the mountaintop.

Sounds perfect.

Perfect = “any”.  Roy would do anything to coach in the NHL, no matter where the job offer comes from.  Want to attract fans?  Sure bring him in.  Want to lose them again? Let him stay.  If Roy has proven anything the last twenty years, it’s that he doesn’t have the character or the patience to be a coach.  He’s also proven that he’s dumb as a brick.  Great goalie?  You bet.  An idiot who opens his mouth, consistently, when he shouldn’t? Absolutely.  Still looking to “see what the Wings are made of” Patty?  How’d that work out for you?

Hire him Dive.  Please.
