ofiba Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Who owns his draft rights? He's clearly tougher than anyone we have on the Sabres.. I say sign him up... That's toughness? Punching a guy in the head who isn't moving and then giving the finger to the crowd? Why don't we sign a "tough" guy from jail? I'm sure there's someone in there who has assaulted someone and they might even be a better goaltender than Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 He's also 3-10... Wow, that is short. Did Patrick #%^$#! a midget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 He's also 3-10, and in that game was losing 7-1 when the brawl happened. I say if he wasn't Patrick Roy's son he'd be a high school backup. On the JV. According to the Q's league website, he's played in 69 games and has a GAA just under 4 (3.96) and a mid-80s save percentage (.866.) No wonder he's gone undrafted and isn't likely to get picked this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him to Rochester, er Maine, er the homeless AHL franchise that supports the Sabres.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Check out this video. Clearly shows Roy telling his kid to go after the goalie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amKozbaTU_o...feature=related Why didn't the other goalie defend himself? Was he daydreaming or looking at the inside of his mask? If I saw another goalie skating toward me, I'd go Jimmy "Superfly" Snooka on his ass.

If I saw another goalie skating toward me, I'd go Jimmy "Superfly" Snooka on his ass. I thought the same thing... I also wonder how innocent Nadeau was in all this.. Consider this passage from TSN: "He said he saw Nadeau at the blue-line and, "I imagine Jonathan took that as an invitation and things happened." Jonathan Roy confirmed his father's version of events but says he decided on a different plan than the one indicated by his coach. " The cameras were not on Nadeau until Roy was ripping his mask off. Did Nadeau goade him a little and then refuse to fight???? Just asking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just got back from a few days in Quebec. This incident was on the front page of the Montreal Gazette on Tuesday. It was absolutely the only real topic on not only sports radio, but NEWS radio up there on Tuesday afternoon. To a person, every caller into the radio talk programs wanted the Habs to cancel any (rumored) plans to retire Patrick Roy's jersey, because of this. No one thought that the suspensions were enough; more than a few folks wanted Jonathan Roy suspended for the rest of the QMJHL playoffs and well into next year. These sentiments were echoed by everyone I talked to about hockey, whether it was during a break in a business meeting, in a hotel bar, or in a casual conversation with a complete stranger in a gas station. This was taken very seriously up there, regardless of Jonathan Roy's bloodlines or Patrick Roy's aura. The fury about the incident, and the way the press covered it, reminded me of the Spitzer situation. It was not lightly treated in Quebec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not lightly treated in Quebec. Seems a little over blown to me. It's hockey, not ballet. Fights happen. If Nadeau did goade him, then he should have had the sack to charge him without Daddy's permission. He fought the next guy that challenged him and held his own. I guess I just don't really understand the nuances of the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just don't really understand the nuances of the code. Roy instigating the fight and assaulting a goalie who wanted no part of fighting was bad enough, but to continue pummeling a guy who was down on the ice and not trying to fight back? No code needed, IMO. The son is apparently as classless a jerk as the father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 On second thought, that was pretty lame. I was pretty surprised that the goalie didn't fight back once Roy actually started hitting him. But that doesn't mitigate Roy's actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 What the hell was the other goalie doing out of the crease if he wasn't going to fight? Wait he didn't leave the crease...... Totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just caught up with this after being out of town, WTF? Can you imagine this happening at a kids football game? "Hey son, I'm your coach, now go kick that kids ass" . "No, I don't care if he's just standing there" "Just pretend he called yo' mama something and beat him!" That ref and player had some Cirque du Soleil thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
