I couldn’t hear because I have two Stanley Cup rings in my ears.

When he fought Vernon at the Joe

When he got torched for nine goals his last game in Montreal and let team president at the time, Ronald Corey, who was on the bench that he had played his last game in Montreal all while the coach who left him in, Mario Trembley was watching. Absolute gold.
The abortion of the failed Statue of Liberty showboat that ended up in his net. 😂

2006, late night round of Trivial Pursuit where we got hammered by the sports questions all night long. I need just a correct sports answer to win and the card reads “Record holder for the most NHL wins by a goalie.”
I answer Patrick Roy, and the girl reading the card says “close but I’m sorry” and I interrupt with the spelling “R-O-Y” and she tosses the card at my face.
Good times. I’m not sure of the edition of the game. Either 2001 or 2002.

When he returned to the Habs and led them to 5 consecutive Stanley Cups, sweeping Boston and Toronto each time in the early rounds.
Shit, I’m not supposed to reveal stuff about the future.

I can see that Red Wings fans have a very distinct set of memories compared to everyone else.

Proudly trying to show off a caught puck and accidentally throwing it in the neck. Honestly though there are so many, such a legend for so many reasons
Watching him obsessively try to score a goal his final seasons as a player here in Colorado. Taking advantage of the fact there was no rule about how much a goalie’s stick could be curved, having a special stick made that he’d go get when an opponent was about to pull the goalie.
It was just so him, yeah, you’re going to put an extra man on ice to shoot at me, but I don’t care, I’m focused on scoring because I know you can’t. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the quips big wins, and moments he gave us, but that was what made him human to me, wanting that damn goal so bad.

When he thought he had it in his glove and Shanahan showed him he didn’t by putting it in the net. I don’t remember laughing this hard watching a hockey game since

The whole 1993 Stanley Cup run, especially winking at McSorley. Close second, “I can’t what Jeremy is saying because I have my 2 rings blocking my ears”.
Years and years of being the best. Despite what people say he was the best. I always knew the Avs were a shoe in to win every game regardless of anything, and they won a great amount when he was goalie.

The only swing of emotions that tops ‘HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP’ is the 2002 WCF Statue of Liberty play.

I know it’s nothing spectacular, but the Panthers v Avs series. Roy and Vanbiesbrook were just incredible that season and is the reason why I decided to be a goalie back then.

I liked when he gave up that OT goal to Andrew Brunette then quit.

Telling Roenik that he can’t hear him with those cup rings jammed in his ears was pretty good.
