For My Canadian Friends!

I just return from a weeks vacation in Myrtle Beach, S.C. One day while preparing to golf, I met Patrick Roy, the famous goalie for the Canadians and the Avalanche who won 4 Stanley Cups.

He and his wife(?) were golfing with another couple and were talking in the French language. We found out that they also spoke English, so we started up a conversation with them. They were pretty friendly.

After they left, the golf guy came up to us and asked us did we know who they were. That's when he told us it was Patrick Roy! He is in the NHL Hall of Fame as the best goalie ever!

Did he start a fight?

He owns and coaches a minor league team in hockey. His son is a goalie on that team.
He and his son recently were suspended as he told his son to go fight the other goalie and his son skated all across the ice, sucker punched him and started wailing on him even when he wasn't fighting back.

It was disgusting.

Hey now it's not nice to speak in Canadian while in an English forum, aye!

Wow!

I didn't see that side of him!

They were in a van that had Bud Light painted all over it!

That is because he wasn't on the ice when you met him.

BTW did you have a good time at your family reunion with your son?

Looks like he's sliced open that chin a couple of times in that picture!

You sure it was his wife?
