Brodeur or Roy?

[STDiva]

Understandable. But Fuhr was a fucking beast in net, too.

Still, I'm sticking with Brodeur. His consistency (as stated a couple posts above) was exceptional.

Fuhr's numbers are crap though. 3.80 GAA? .888 SV%? Helen Keller could have backstopped the Oilers to a couple cups.

Rodfarva is gonna rip my head off now.

I know his numbers are crap. I'm still going to stand up and say he's a quality net minder. Don't go by his numbers. He never had the defense in front of him that he should have.

And Rodfarva will help me poop on your shoes.

When I was a kid, Roy and Sakic was the athletes who introduced me to Hockey.

I still have my kid's sized Colorado Avalanche gear from their 1996 Stanley Cup win sitting in my "game room"
(Sakic and Roy jersey, a mini avalanche stick, a cap and a puck that I got Patrick Roy to sign
during a business trip to Montreal in 06 - post retirement).

Personally believe Roy was more of a character than Brodeur, and his end-career with the Avalanche
was more "intriguing" than most.
Also there is the nostalgia factor.
That's one of the reasons why people will always say there will never be another Gretzky or Jordan.

Your toe-jam will be disgusting. I'll say no more on this matter.

Also, there was a year when Jean Sebastien Giguere looked like he was going to join the ranks of these folks. Then he didn't. Then he looked like a fool.

Grant Fuhr? Billy Smith? No? Okay!!

Back to the topic at hand, Patrick Roy? Martin Brodeur?

How about the guy they surpassed a long, long time ago? ...

Yes, Ken Dryden. He's the original.

Roy was basically money in the play offs.

this was also already decided in 'real life' back in 2001, i believe.

Colorado went to game 7 in the Stanley Cup finals with New Jersey. Colorado won the Cup and Roy won the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP ...not Brodeur.

I had almost this exact same conversation with a good friend of mine at the fireworks

Patrick Roy all the way.

I thought I liked you. Now it is my mission in life to find you and destroy you.

Sorry, Icecold. It has been real.

White guy's sport... white guy's sport!
racist. you know it's true. :yesyes:

I vote for Roy. His litany of accomplishments includes 551 regular-season wins, 151 playoff victories, two Stanley Cups each with the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche, and three Conn Smythe Trophies. Roy was a technical goalie, scientifically precise on his angles as he dropped into his familiar butterfly: pads splayed and stick covering the five hole, leaving only pinpricks of daylight over his shoulders at which shooters could aim.

Roy was more than great. He was significant. Jacques Plante popularized the goalie mask, the position's most important innovation, but Roy, adopting the principles laid out two decades ago by current Anaheim goalie consultant Francois Allaire, made the butterfly the predominant goaltending style in the NHL, as anyone watching the Mighty Ducks' Jean Sebastien Giguere in the ongoing Stanley Cup finals can see. (The Devils' Martin Brodeur once idolized Roy, as did many children in the goalie factory called Quebec, where Roy grew up, but Brodeur plays a more stand-up style.)

Satisfied?

 

[The Grasshopper]

Patrick Roy also created a goaltending style which was followed by many. ^ Nice mention on that Icecold...

 

[Mauser98k]

stat wise? Brodeur. he's broken/breaking Patrick's records.

who i'd most like to have in goal? without a doubt, Roy.

 

[YumiYumi_1988]

I'm taking Brodeur over Montreal Roy, but Colorado Roy over Brodeur. Patrick Roy it is, even though I hate the s.o.b.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Brodeur. Then Tretiak. Then Dryden. Then Sawchuk. Then Turek. Then maybe Roy.

 

[mr. jizz]

Patrick Roy was getting alot of support yet he only has 4 votes? I take Roy.

 

[BigSwede]

I pick Brodeur because he stays in the net when the opposing team attacks.
If Roy got a point for every time he has assisted on an opponents goal he would be a top scorer every season.

 

[Jagger69]

Between the 2, I'd give Roy a narrow edge over Brodeur. However, I'd pick Jacques Plante over anyone. The dude played on 6 Stanley Cup Champions, won 7 Vezina trophies and a Hart Trophy and was a 7-time all-star selection.
