"We do things we're not proud of, and that's one of them."
In this writer's opinion, Patrick Roy was a horse's ass. Well, a horse's ass and a fairly tremendous goalie. Watching a TSN feature tonight showing him riding the autobus with the Remparts, positively exuding humility… it's quite something. Roy's decision to allow an orthodox Jewish player to miss roughly half of the Remparts' games in observance of his religion was almost impossible to wrap one's head around until one read the coach's justification: "It's fun to see someone who knows what he wants. I'm not going to go against this."
I fully expect the horse's ass to show himself again, but for now I am impressed. Good on ya, Pat Roy.

I think that Guillaume Latendresse might suggest that the horse's ass has shown himself rather recently.
With this quote, I have now become a lifelong Latendresse supporter.
''It's me who's supposed to be 19, not him,'' said Latendresse. ''I will act like a man. I'll leave it to him to act like a child.''
The details...
