When the Colorado Avalanche hired Nolan Pratt on July 15, no one thought that just under a month later Patrick Roy, a Colorado Avalanche legend, would step down.
Certainly not more unexpected than Roy’s resignation, but surprising nonetheless was that just two weeks after Roy’s resignation, Jared Bednar would be named the head coach, the same head coach that Nolan Pratt left only a month prior.
And that’s how it all went down — in rapid fire fashion — and now there will at least be some continuity in philosophy behind the Colorado Avalanche bench, but will that translate to success?
