(left) Kevin Dineen scored 28 goals and added 35 assists for the University of Denver in 75 games in the early EightiesPatrick Roy will not be the coach of the NHL Colorado Avalanche. Not for next season, anyway.
Roy told The Denver Post late Thursday night he wants to stay in Quebec at least through this coming season, mainly to keep coaching his sons, Jonathan and Frederick.
With Roy no longer under consideration, the Avs are expected to continue looking at potential candidates such as Portland (Maine) Pirates coach and DU alum Kevin Dineen and Detroit Red Wings assistant Todd McLellan, with Pat Burns and Ron Wilson also out there as more experienced candidates.
Dineen and McLellan both are with teams still in their respective playoffs, so a formal interview with either man probably would have to wait until their seasons are finished.
