DETROIT -- For Patrick Roy, it was like old times putting on the pads and getting between the pipes at Joe Louis Arena.
Of course, Roy is now in his third season as the coach of the Colorado Avalanche and no longer the star goaltender.
Roy and Avalanche executive vice president/general manager Joe Sakic did a little practicing Friday morning as their team was not on the ice after playing Thursday night in Ottawa.
Both Roy and Sakic are playing in the Stadium Series Alumni Game at Denver's Coors Field on Feb. 26.
"Joe looked good," Roy said.
