Patrick Roy Keeping Things Classy in the QMJHL
Sean Leahy's Going Five Hole —
The story from TSN: "With the Remparts trailing 7-1 near the end of the second period of their playoff game on Saturday, players on both sides began to brawl. The younger Roy skated towards Chicoutimi netminder Bobby Nadeau, but was held back by two on-ice officials. According to reports, it was at that point that father Patrick told his son to go after Nadeau. Jonathan Roy skated towards the opposing netminder and landed a series of punches without any retaliation, then saluted the opposing fans before starting another fight with defenceman Sebastien Rioux." Well done, Patrick. ...

I don't really understand why everyone is making such a big deal about this video of Patrick Roy's son. Isn't this what Roy himself used to do, just with a extra pinch of insanity?
Video: Patrick Roy's son is crazier than your son
Small White Ball —
Hockey fights are rare enough these days thanks to foolish rules designed to prevent them, but when you see a great brawl on the ice, you gotta appreciate it. When you add some backstory to them there fisticuffs involving the greatest goalie of all time, you got a stew going on! ...
Roy's Son Ready To Rumble
The Power Play —
Goaltending legend Patrick Roy is known for his fiery temper. And in his day, he got into a few goalie fights with the likes of Mike Vernon and Chris Osgood. Well, it looks like his son Jonathan, the back-up 'tender for the Quebec Remparts, the QMJHL team that Patrick Roy both owns and coaches, shares the same character traits as his dear old dad. The Remparts were losing badly in a playoff game on Saturday night with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens. The score was 7-1 late in the second period when a melee broke out in the Remparts' end. Jonathan Roy skated to centre ice and appeared to challenge Sagueneens goaltender Bobby Nadeau to a ...
Patrick Roy and Son Suspended After Fight
The Undrafted Free Agent —
Quebec Remparts goalie Jonathan Roy was suspended for seven games, and Remparts coach Patrick Roy -- the great NHL goalie -- was suspended for five games after Saturday's melee between their team and the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff. Apparently, the elder Roy was telling his son to fight. There were other suspensions, but ...
I learned it from watching you Dad!
Luft On Deck —
There’s finally a reason to pay attention to hockey this year, but it’s not a good one. On Saturday night, the son of legendary goalie Patrick Roy, Jonathan Roy, brutally assaulted an opposing goalie during a playoff game in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
There is fighting in hockey, but this does not qualify as a regular hockey fight. Even among savages, there are rules. Quoting from the National Post here:
Never does one see a goalie attack another goalie who has refused to leave his crease. Hockey follows the old ...
Temper has long been Roy's worst enemy

Patrick Roy's trademark as a player was a fiery competitiveness, but it hasn't always served him well.
Roy has found himself in the midst of another firestorm as a result of a brawl that erupted during Saturday's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff game between his Quebec Remparts and the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
Roy's son, Jonathan, was at the centre of attention. The Remparts' backup goalie became a YouTube star for his one-sided attack on Chicoutimi goaltender Robbie Nadeau, who absorbed a beating with the ...

Wednesday Wonderings: Burnout Edition
Hockey Rants —
by Jes Blogger Burnout sucks, especially when combined with an on-off again throbbing headache and a lack of actual hockey news. First, let's start off in the world of women's golf (zzzzz....), where the LPGA is going to mandate English proficiency. At a mandatory South Korean player meeting Aug. 20 at the Safeway Classic, the tour informed its largest international contingent that beginning in 2009, all players who have been on tour for two years must pass an oral evaluation of their English skills. Failure would result in a suspended membership. Wow, talk about really stupid rule changes ... If ...
NHL News from Around the League - Nov. 25th
Movable Type System Activity —
The New York Islanders defeated the Eastern Conference All-Star team yesterday, 4-3 in a shootout. The strangest part of the game was Ryan O'Byrne's goal. The Canadiens player scored with less than 5 minutes remaining in the third period to tie the game at 3. Unfortunately O'Byrne scored on his own net, and he tied the game for the Islanders. I'm not sure what was funnier, O'Byrne clutching his head in anguish after he scored, or the Islanders players celebrating the goal. Watch.
I wonder if he'll make the All-Star team.
Numerous players had two goal games last night, all of them scoring on the opposing team's ...
Goat of the Week: The Roy Family
Bangin Panger —
This is kind of old news, but it's been given new life. Today it came out that Jonathan Roy, yes, son of Patrick, will indeed be going to trial for beating the hell out of an unwilling participant. A little background...During March of 2008, Roy, the goalie for the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL, left his crease, skated down the entire length of the ice, and pounded opposing Chicoutimi Sangueneens goalie Bobby Nadeau, who idly stood by in his own crease. Video. Ugly. His Assault trial will be held July 13th and 14th, if convicted he could face up to 6 months in jail and a $2,000 ...
If You're a Fan of Fun, You Should Be a Fan of This
Barry Melrose Rocks —
Right now, the Colorado Avalanche are mulling a decision that could provide NHL fans, media and bloggers with lots and lots of entertainment and writing material. They're considering hiring Patrick Roy as coach. We all remember Roy as the hot head and general crazy ass superstar that he was with the Canadiens and Avalanche. So, naturally, Roy coming back to the NHL would be a no-brainer.
There's one little problem. Tony Granato.
See, the Avs haven't fired him yet. Awkward! But, as soon as they do -- because let's face it this team's crash and burn at the end of the season was beyond epic -- they need to hire Roy. It will keep newspapers ...

Jonathan Roy pleads guilty, spares us hockey assault trial
Puck Daddy —
While we're not sure how Jonathan Roy's pleading guilty to an assault charge today will affect his street cred in the R&B business, we're thinking it's probably good for hockey not to have fighting on trial in a highly-publicized legal case. Please recall that Roy, 20, beat the stuffing out of goalie Bobby Nadeau during a Quebec Remparts game in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League back in 2008. He was suspended seven games, his coach/father received five games and the incident sparked a national outrage in Canada. Jonathan didn't help matters when it seemed as though he had more regret about flipping the crowd the double-bird ...
