Former Colorado Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy, who led the team with fiery passion for three seasons and recently resurfaced in the NHL as Senior Head Coach of the New York Islanders, has just sent a mysterious and chilling message to current Avalanche coach Jared Bednar—and it has the hockey world buzzing.
Roy, who coached the Avs from 2013 to 2016 before resigning unexpectedly, reportedly contacted Bednar late Monday evening via what sources are calling a “highly dramatic and completely unprompted message.” According to an anonymous insider close to the situation, Roy simply stated:
“Beware the blue line… it remembers.“
No further context was given.
The cryptic note has been interpreted in a variety of ways—some see it as a warning, others as motivation, and a few believe Roy may be making a statement about the Avalanche’s recent defensive breakdowns in their early season games.
Avalanche Respond
Coach Bednar was asked about the message at this morning’s press conference. His reaction?
“I haven’t spoken to Patrick since 2016. I’m not sure what he’s referring to. We’re focused on our systems and tonight’s matchup.”
Pressed further, Bednar shrugged and added, “The blue line remembers? I guess we’ll find out.”
Roy’s Intentions Unknown
Roy, known for his bold personality and history of dramatic exits, has not commented publicly since the message went viral. Some speculate he may be seeking a psychological edge ahead of a potential Avalanche-Islanders showdown later this season.
Others think it’s simply Roy being Roy.
NHL insiders have begun dissecting past Avalanche-Islanders games, looking for patterns, hidden messages, or unexplained blue line infractions that might hint at Roy’s cryptic statement.
Fans React
The message has exploded across social media:
- @Avs4Life32: “Roy just dropped a hockey horror movie tagline. I love it.”
- @IslesIntense: “This is mental warfare. Roy is playing 4D chess and the rest of us are on the penalty kill.”
- @NHLConspiracies: “It’s happening. Roy’s coming back. This is how it starts.”
