I would guess their fans do

I mean, the Flyers are doing pretty good now so I would not count Roy and the Isles out just yet

yeah I know, they might not have a star-studded lineup but they do have a well enough rounded team to make a serious push.

and I had to check but good ol' Lou is still GM over there, should be an interesting combination with those two lol

you guys seem to think Roy had the luxury to be picky here.
I' not too sure about that. imo he took the first offer to come his way.
perso if I had a choice between going to OTT or NYI... easy choice for the Sens.
good luck to him anyway, that will be fun to watch

(frank) yeah



but if he had actually landed in Ottawa I would've simply drawned the line between his career as a player and as a coach, hoping that things just implode between him and that ugly (frank)face of a captain they have.

never said he did, I doubt teams were lining up to hire him actually.

how fuuucking old is that guy?

I wonder if Roy had that in mind when he took the coaching job

he may think he can do more than just coaching in there, something he could not do in Colorado with Sakic over there as the GM

true, but I could have seen Ottawa being interested for sure

Roy most likely took the first offer made to him

but Im a chicken and Im not in the know, you know?

you mean that Roy figured "bah, he's probably gonna die pretty soon anyway..."?


he's 81 but I wouldn't bet that old fart will go gentle into that good night anytime soon, probably gonna stick around till he's 100 lol.

Ottawa has been a god damn circus at times this season, so I dont know

something is off with that team, their rebuild is not taken off at all

pas tant mais....

plus au sens qu'à partir d'un certain âge, on devient moins vite sur ses patins et gérer un club de la LNH ne doit plus être aussi évident pour lui, mais j'ai pt tort aussi


Roy veut coacher et prendre les décisions que prend un GM, il veut tout faire. À moins qu'il ait changé son approche depuis, mais je ne suis pas certain du tout

- Pat1993

J'ai juste peur un jour que le club déménage aux States, ça fait lontemps que le club est géré comme un stand à patates

mais bon, il y a de nouveaux proprios, mais les problèmes perdures

je gagerais un ptit deux qu'il s'est calmé le pompom un peu au fil des ans, il va être un coach intense mais ça m'étonnerait qu'il perde les pédales comme il l'avait fait avant...




je pense aussi qu'il est capable de faire la distinction entre gérer un club dans la LHJMQ et être à la tête d'une organization de la ligue nationale, ça serait spécial qu'il soit encore convaincu qu'il pourrait jouer les rôles de coach et GM en même temps.

ils vont sans doute avoir un aréna plus près du centre ville d'Ottawa dans un avenir assez raproché, ça devrait faire une différence comparativement à être perdu dans le milieu d'un champ à Kanata.


je les ai vraiment pas dans mon coeur mais je voudrais quand même pas non plus qu'ils perdent leur club, je préfèrerais qu'ils continuent à sucer mais qu'ils restent au Canada.

then again, show me a good goalie I'll show you a good coach. maybe why he went to NYI.

perso no I do not think. doesn't mean I am right. I just find it very strange that he did not receive an offer from OTT. or from TOR for that matter lol

if it hadn't been such a roller coaster ride so far for the new ownership in Ottawa perhaps they would've entertained the idea, but with all the poop that went down they surely figured Roy's CHaracter could potentially still be a bit too unpredictable.



Roy in Toronto, that would've been (frank)ed up lol.
