Save by Roy: Patrick Roy and the Return of the Colorado Avalanche Buy The Book - Amazon.ca - Chapters - Amazon.com From The Publisher: In 2013, the Colorado Avalanche announced that Joe Sakic, a franchise legend and Hall of Fame center, would be promoted to become the new executive VP of hockey operations. Soon, Sakic was instrumental in the hiring of Patrick Roy, the greatest goaltender in NHL history, a man crucial to the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup victories in 1996 and 2001, as Colorado’s new coach. This book, a collaborative effort between seasoned sports writers and authors Terry Frei and Adrian Dater, is an opinionated, interpretive, and in-depth look at Patrick Roy’s first season as a National Hockey League coach, and the Avalanche’s surprising 2013–2014 season.

Here's a great Patrick Roy story. It happened right after his famous trade from Montreal to Colorado. He and Mike Keane just touched down at Denver airport and they hail a taxi. The ensuing conversation goes something like this: "McNichols Arena, please," Roy said. Cabbie: "So, are you guys hockey players?" Roy: "That's right." Cabbie: "So what do you think of this new goalie the Avalanche got?" Roy: "I hear he's a nice guy." Cabbie: I don't know about that, but I don't know if he's as good as the team says. They're talking like we've got the Stanley Cup all wrapped up. I don't buy it." Patrick Roy certainly has had a very interesting life.

Roy himself says he never saw the need for the book in the first place, turning down several writer requests. But his father insisted it was a good idea. Once Michel Roy began working on the text, Patrick found himself increasingly more welcoming of the project.
