If you’ve been a Colorado Avalanche fan for any length of time, you have a favorite Patrick Roy moment.
For fans from the beginning, we remember seeing him play with machine-like precision. He was a brick wall, the epitome of a clutch goalie. The bigger the game, the better he played. If the world rested on a man making a save in a hockey game, you want that goalie to be Patrick Roy.
For me, one of my favorite Patrick Roy moments is when he told his team, “No more rats.” To me this epitomized the type of player he was — so arrogant to state that he’d allow the opponent team, the Florida Panthers, to score no more goals in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
