4.0 out of 5 starsGood book on the season for a rookie head coach
By LSmith on October 29, 2014
Format: Paperback
Rating:
3 1/2 of 5 stars (good)

Review:
After a few poor seasons, the Colorado Avalanche, at one time one of the elite teams of the National Hockey League, decided to hire a rookie head coach who had no NHL coaching experience at the time. He was well-known to the franchise, having led them to Stanley Cup championships in 1996 and 2001. Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy became Colorado’s head coach for the 2013-14 season. That season is chronicled in this book, a collaborative effort between Terri Frei and Adrian Dater of the Denver Post, both of whom have covered hockey for the newspaper.

After a brief recap of Roy’s career and life after hockey, the book really gets going when the press conference announcing Colorado’s hiring of Roy causes some stirring around the league. How can someone who has never coached in the NHL lead a team that has struggled for the last four years? Very well, thank you as the Avalanche won their division in 2013-14 and while they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Wild, the season was considered to be a success.

The book covers the season by recapping every game, some much more in depth than others. These recaps are not newspaper stories, but instead they will cover a new aspect or situation facing the team, an anecdote about the player who played the biggest role for the Avalanche in the game, or possibly a simple rehash of the results. In between these stories there were sections that had player biographies that read like the biographies one will read in team media guides. However, those were more complete in this book with much more information gleaned from the player being profiled. Those were enjoyable reads and strategically placed at various spots during the season’s recap.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Read for Hockey Fans, eh?
By christine hooker on December 30, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
I received [Save By Roy] as an advanced readers copy. I am a HUGE hockey fan and have the utmost respect for Patrick Roy(although as a New York Rangers fan I hate him with a passion.) I was really excited to read this books and I was not disappointed. It was well written and was almost like a written version of 24/7 on NHL network. It had insider points of view that regular fans don't get. The fact that Roy managed to bring this team to the playoffs after being almost last in the league the season before (only Florida was worse and they don't count) in the amazingly tough Western Conference was amazing. All hockey fans should read this book (even if Roy made you cry when you were younger.)
