Two weeks ago yesterday we were floored with the news that Patrick Roy was resigning as Head Coach of the Avalanche. Joe Sakic’s words at the time showed his surprise and he left expectations low saying the staff would try to get someone new in place “hopefully by training camp”. I didn’t buy that, as daunting a task as it seemed the biggest hurdle was finding people willing and able to take the position and once that happened it sailed along quickly. Early last week the Avs contacted the Blue Jackets about talking to their AHL coach and by Friday they had a nice long interview with Jared Bednar.
