How THIS Goalie inspired every goalie after him…



Patrick Roy revolutionized the goaltending position of the NHL, by developing the Butterfly style. Since Roy, goalies across the league have him to thank for how they play the position. Including Marc-Andre Fleury who just became TIED with Roy for #2 on the NHL all-time goalie wins list.

  1. I thought Flurry was gonna be a bust after his first couple seasons but I was very wrong. I have nothing but respect for him and all he had done. Now as a life long Rangers fan, please knock Marty out of the number one spot. LOL

  2. Tony O 🤷
    But I'll say goalie pads did more to change the style than anything.
    I'd like to see today's goalies use the old pads, they'd never get up off the ice again 😂
    Blocks of square foam basically today, that cover it all up in the butterfly.

  3. Roy got his style from Vladislav Tretiak.

    But yes Roy was a beast and deserves all the recognition. I wish I knew why he stopped coaching. He was fun to watch behind the bench too. lol 😂
