Save by Roy

In 2013, the Colorado Avalanche promoted Joe Sakic, a longtime franchise star and Hall of Fame center, to executive vice president of hockey operations. Shortly afterward, Sakic helped bring Patrick Roy in as the team's head coach. Roy is generally regarded as the top goaltender the NHL has ever produced, and he was central to Colorado's Stanley Cup titles in 1996 and 2001.

This book, written by sportswriters Terry Frei and Adrian Dater, follows Roy's first season coaching in the National Hockey League and the Avalanche's surprising 2013–14 campaign. It takes an opinionated, interpretive, and in-depth approach to both.
