Hockey Talk On A Friday Afternoon

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,

• Is it just me, or is the entire hockey world waiting for Patrick Roy to erupt, like old Leafs coach John Brophy on a bad hair day? Roy has been very well mannered, as his Avs sit in last place in the Central, a Division they won with 112 points last season. Today, Colorado is on pace for a measly 68 points, and as they were losing 6-0 to the Islanders the other night we thought maybe Patrick would explode. “I’ll say this: They played really well. I have to give them credit,” a polite Roy said of the Islanders.

• Edmonton’s House of Cards goaltending situation is at the root of yet another disappointing season in Edmonton. GM Craig MacTavish gambled that a pair of No. 2’s in Ben Scrivens and Viktor Fasth could combine to be a No 1. Instead, the Oilers get second-rate goaltending most nights. Martin Brodeur wouldn’t want to be part of this project, we suspect. But would Ilya Bryzgalov, who us currently unemployed? He came last season, when the Devan Dubnyk project combusted.
