In an away game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Roy fought Riley Cote twice. After being knocked down from a punch in the latter fight, Roy made a   slash throat" hand gesture toward Cote while on the bench. Tortorella had to physically remove Roy from the bench.

In February 2009, Los Angeles Kings general manager Dean Lombardi raised eyebrows by singling out Roy as a "one-dimensional player." Said Lombardi, "So who\'s the one-dimensional player? André Roy from Calgary, maybe. They dressed him the other night. He\'s a battleship. He played, what, two minutes? So, okay, there\'s one, but I\'d like to know how many of those guys there really are."\n', '
