Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Patrick Roy announces he's leaving Colorado Avalanche organization, where he was head coach and VP of hockey ops

Roy says vision of HC/VP needs to be aligned with organization and he must have say in decisions team makes, but those needs not being met.

Yup. Confirmed. Patrick Roy leaving the @Avalanche
wow not a good look for the avalanche, obvious rift between roy and FO
/PRNewswire/ - Patrick Roy, head coach and vice president of hockey operations for the Colorado Avalanche, has issued the following statement: "For the past...
Well now I do agree with that and was my first concern when I heard the news.
Ask your brother if Osgood feels the same way. Then ask him if his face still hurts from that pounding Roy gave him.
Actually, my brother, a huge Avs fan, texted me from the Rangers/Rockies game in Dallas. I don't know how he got a hold of that headline.
And although I don't blame the last couple of seasons on Roy, I'm guessing that this saves Joe Sakic from having to fire Roy after next season. If they can pry open Kroenke's wallet, maybe they can find a good coach.

Oh my bad. So my trash talk is poorly directed at him. But still stands for those Detroit journalists.
Finding the right candidate in August might be challenging.
Marc Crawford's name is mentioned in that story. And I don't know how anybody else feels about it, but after what happened between Vancouver, Crawford, Bertuzzi, and Steve Moore, if the Avs were to even consider hiring Crawford, or approaching Ottawa where Crawford is now "Associate" Coach, I would become a Detroit Redwings fan. And this comes from a guy who was an original Colorado Rockies Hockey team fan, back in the 1970s.
If Sakic can't find a coach, he can get his keester out on the ice and coach that team. Isn't Adam Foote still around? I'm sure he would consider being an assistant.
Secondly, I hope Joe Colborne has success with the Avalanche. Always seemed like a good likeable player, even days after the Flames didn't give him a qualifying offer he was out in the community doing charity work on behalf of the Flames. Seemed like they would figure it out and get him back, but it was meant to be. Hopefully he has success for the 'Lanche.
As for Bednar, he's been coaching in the minors for a while, he's won championships, as the head coach, in both the ECHL and AHL. He has no NHL coaching experience at all, but he's certainly shown in the minors that he can coach winning teams. Cmsidering the situation they were put in, I think it's an excellent hire.
