Patty Wah's son goes crazy

[Kp-Wings 3]

I can't remember the details, but the worst one I heard involved Scott May and the announcer kept yelling "Get some , Scottie May" over and over and over. The soundtrack is burned into my brain.

Wah, wah, wah: living proof that we are not going forward on this whole evolving thing.

I know what fight you're referring to. It was in the AHL, and involved the current day Red Wings Super Enforcer™... Tomas Kopecky.

I guess in AHL broadcasts, you don't have to worry about homering very much, because nobody outside of that said city will be watching. Unless there is an AHL version of Center Ice, or they have that game on the NHL network, nobody else will really be watching. So, I guess they can get away with having the homer glasses on all game, when you think about it.

In the NHL, they have to make more of an effort to be impartial, because a larger audience is watching. For some guys, though, that means nothing, as the Predators, Blues, Avalanche, and Blue Jackets broadcasters, among others, seem to not care about showing their complete homerism sides to an almost national audience (for those who watch games on Center Ice frequently). I mean, it's one thing to favor one team, but when you hear them start breaking out the nicknames, it's gone too far. The Predators guys are extremely bad at this: you could have a drinking game for the amount of times Pete Weber calles Vernon Fiddler "Fids" or Jason Arnott "Arnie" during a single game. Ridiculous.

It really makes you appreciate what Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond bring to the table: good broadcasting, something that other teams don't seem to value.

I still can't believe a woman was willing to have intercourse with Patrick Roy.

No kidding.

But did you have to say it? the image has traumatized me forever :butbut:

[Kp-Wings 3]

That was the Kopecky fight where Kopecky destroyed Scott May, yet the homer announcers were acting like May was Bob Probert and Kopecky was Craig Janney.

You can do a lot worse than Craig Janney... namely, Patrick Sharp.

Sharp got beat by one of the league's top fighters, so you can't fault him there.

As for the Kopecky fight, yeah I'll give you that one. That was just a pathetic loss by Sharp.

I do no understand what all this "like father, like son" talk is about. Looked to me Jonathan Wah faired well in those bouts and they actually looked somewhat close to him in stature, nothing like Patty at all.

Umm what

[WhiteCloud 0]

Umm what

I may be wrong but I believe the implication is that unlike his father he actually did well in the fight even though he was fighting someone of similar size. You know, because Patty not only got pummeled but he got pummeled by other goalies who were much smaller than him.

Yeah that is correct, satire and sarcasm translate terribly over the internet. I was just poking fun at Patty "guns" Wah's fighting prowess and willingness to engage only far smaller opponents.

[IceMunkee 15]

LOL. I only wish I could have been here. Funny thing is that alot of you are the one's calling for more grit and grim in hockey then call Young'n Roy a tool and an ass and other choice names. Sure does not make sense sometimes. I have to add that I cannot think of one game as exciting as the any of the Avalanche games during the old rivalry... Hmm. I hope Roy does make it. Actually when dom was pretending to fight the other day it forced me to stir up the plan ass whipping that Roy laid on Ozzy and a pretty good beating on Vernon. The only thing I could say is damn they got f*cked up bad. My blood started warming and my heart started beating. Those were the days....

I hope your not reffering to Ozzy or Vernon...

Ozzy vs Roy

Roy Vs Vernon (I would say Vernon has the upper hand but not by a complete as whopping.)

The infamous Dom vs Roy

Roy vs Yzerman (This is a true and career ending Ass beating!)

I also found a few little better Quality J. Roy Vids... Sorry still in Frenchanese

Just saw the highlights...Roy's son went nuts and pumped the other tender, who wasnt very interested in fighting. Looked like he gave the crowd the finger as he was skating off, he also threw a shot at another player. Rumour is St.Patrick told him to start some s***, and Sr. might face some disciplinary action. Post the video when I find it.

edit : can someone edit the title? his first name is Johnathan, not Jamie

heres the video

Well it would appear that Roy Jr. is as big of a scum bag as his father.

I really liked the way that he just went crazy on a guy that was clearly not going to try and fight. The poor guy could barely defend himself.

Hope Roy jr. gets to sit for some time for this one.

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

I find the funniest thing is that the opposing goalie dosen't make any kind of attempt whatsoever to brace himself when he gets approached.

"Oh hey Roy. Man, crazy game toniOH WHAT THE s***?!"

That's exactly what it's like You should get into the caption writing business. Although that fight was *hem* something else, young Roy still has some mighty shoes to fill. He had better start busting doors and toasters now if he ever wants to one-up ol' Patrick.

[cirov19 1]

Roy vs Yzerman (This is a true and career ending Ass beating!)

I can't figure out what happens in this, besides the shot which already looks like it goes in, and then the announcer yelling, "The goal counts, the goal counts."

Can somebody who is not an idiot like myself explain to me.

[cirov19 1]

Patrick Roy, who coaches his son's team, was caught on camera gesturing to the younger Roy.

He denied in post-game television interviews that he encouraged his son to fight.

Players from the Remparts were escorted out of the arena by police, French-language news station LCN said.

And yeah... he is pretty disgusting looking.

Here's a better look at it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS5zN47FLkw&NR=1

As you can see, Yzerman's shot ended up in Roy's gear. Roy thought he had it, and went to do his statue of liberty routine. But the puck was underneath Roy's glove, not in it like Roy thought, and Shanahan and Fedorov were on the puck before Roy could react. Shanahan ultimately puts it in the net, due mainly to the fact that he was already coming hard at the net and a backchecking Sakic is the only Avs player near the play who has any sort of defensive ability; you'll notice Rob Blake standing in front of the net watching as three Wings forwards converge on the crease; then Shanahan was able to basically just stick his stick out and score. Fedorov would have had the goal had Shanny not been ahead of him by a fraction of a second-Sergei's stick is right there when Shanny hits the puck.

Yeah, that video is a lot easier to understand. Thanks for the description. That's embarrassing as fick for Roy.

From SI's "Top 10 Embarrassing Moments In The NHL Since The 1967 Expansion":

6. Patrick Roy's Statue of Liberty: May 29, 2002

Give us your tired, your poor, your cheapest of cheap goals. In Game 6 of the 2002 semifinals between Roy's Colorado Avalanche and the archrival Detroit Red Wings, Roy made a nifty glove save on Steve Yzerman early in the match. Then, as was his wont, Roy added a grace note, brandishing his glove like it was Lady Liberty's torch. The problem: When the most winning goaltender in the history of the NHL raised his trapper to show the Wings and the world his swell save, the puck tumbled out and trickled into his own net.

Fill in your own French's mustard joke here.

The Avalanche would go on to lose 2-0, then capitulated 7-0 in Game 7 as the Wings went on to defeat Carolina handily in the final. Link
