Cameraman reflects on Roy-Boudreau showdown

What a fun read from The Denver Post, retelling the story of the infamous Patrick Roy-Bruce Boudreau glass pushing incident in Roy's NHL coaching debut for the Colorado Avalanche.

Cameraman John Almering is a freelancer who was hired by Altitude TV to track everything Roy did in that first game.

Almering said, "Something happened and a switch just flipped, and he all of a sudden turned around, walked back yelling. He was so fired up, and I was already standing on a pile of my own cable, so I was already on unsteady footing. I just kind of held the shot, and all of a sudden he shoves the glass, it rebounds and hits me in the head. I was the only thing really holding it up at that point. So all of a sudden I have the glass hitting me in the head and him yelling in front of me. It was just chaos. It was amazing to see that passion. That's really what he brings to the game, and I think everybody now realizes that."
