Hockey: Stay Classy Roy Family

Patrick Roy’s son and poor goalie at that, does his old man “proud” as he beats the crap out of opposing goalie in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League play-off game.
I’m all for fighting in hockey, but this is disgraceful…
Patrick Roy still classy as ever.by Mike Zimmer, Blue JacketWhile this should be pretty entertaining to most of you that aren’t hockey fans, as hockey fights seem to be the ultimate understanding of the game, what is in the video above is just ridiculous.
Patrick Roy, Hall of Famer Goalie, is now the Head Coach of his son’s Major Junior Hockey League team (and heavy investor apparently), the Quebec Ramparts. Well, while his son’s team was being whipped in their first round play-off game 7-1 (eventually losing 10-1 in game two of the series), a brawl broke out between the two clubs. It got out of hand, eventually getting very ugly. As you can, see, Jonathan Roy decided to get into the melay and did his old man “proud” in pummeling the best goalie in the league. All the while, being one of the worst in the league statistically.
What’s bad about this is three fold. First of all, Patrick Roy apparently motioned for his boy to go and get the other goalie. Two, the other goalie didn’t fight back and gets pummeled, Roy beat the bejesus out of the lass even as he balled up in the fetal position not wanting to fight. The poor kid is probably some dainty Swede and has never been in a scrap in his life other than battling his sister for time in front of a mirror to check his beautiful hair and fair skin. Three, he doesn’t fight back. Who doesn’t fight back in this situation?
I was a fan of Patrick Roy’s game. He was fierce, top of the game and able to put a team on his back. However, he was always an ass-hole and often was perhaps one of the dirtiest players in the game. He also liked to scrap from time to time, but mostly just ran his mouth. He put his money where that was concerned too though, once telling a reporter that he couldn’t hear what the Detroit Red Wings were complaining about because he ‘had his Stanley Cup rings stuck in his ears’.
But this incident, in which he’s be suspended 5-games and his hack of a son 7-games is disgraceful, no ifs ands or buts about it. Nice going Roy Family! You stay Classy!
Point of correction, he wasn’t talking about my beloved Red Wings, he was talking about Jeremy Roenick who was playing for the hated Blackhawks. My wings and Mike “5-hole” Vernon beat the piss out of him.
Again Zim with your last couple post you remind me that I should have gone ahead and kicked your fricking @$$ 29 years ago.
I happen to love the fact that the son is following the father.
I also happen to think that if Brady Quinn was in prison stripes…oops, sorry…that would be Been Gals stripes….he would be the next great flop/hero.
But I digress, I’m sure you’re right…oh, sorry in England wouldn’t that be left?
P.S. I can quote Anchorman as well.
this is Buffo 95 saying good night and go fuk yourself Mr. Zimmer.
*Authors note- this is not indicative of Buffo 95s true feelings toward the author, just the vindictiveness of watching the above clip the night in which it occurred and LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF!!!
Those who don’t like Roy have just been beaten by him too much….that includes my Blues in the 2001 Western Conference Finals.
(stay classy Zim)
