Fork in the road

Back in May, Patrick Roy had a choice: he was pursued as a head coaching candidate by the Buffalo Sabres and the Colorado Avalanche. If he wanted, he could go to Buffalo where his son (Frederick Roy) was signed to their farm team and their top prospect (Mikhail Grigorenko) was graduating form Roy's very own junior team, the Quebec Remparts. He went the other direction and now, 5 months later, Colorado is 5-0 and tied for first while Buffalo is 0-5-1 and dead last in the league.
