Patrick Roy resigns as coach of Avalanche

So that's not great, eh? He had his problems as a coach (Corsi for one) and it's possible to get a coach that could improve the x's and o's. But also, I saw what happened to the Illinois football team when they had to replace a coach shortly before the season. They went interim, then hired a new GM, then hired Lovie Smith.

A lot of pressure to replace Roy with someone good.
