Audio: Canadiens retire Roy's No. 33

Haha, can't even have an opinion when people like you are around. I won't read the paper tomorrow either.. Big deal buddy. So all those goals Roy let go by him were Tremblays fault? What kind of warped drugged up mind comes up with something like that? Man I'm running into this mindset a lot lately, is it something in the water? I'm sorry though, I didn't realize to be a real habs fan one must love the fact that Roy betrayed the team, and one must think exactly like you do at all times. If this is the case then surely I will move on, I don't want to be guilty of ignorance and stupidity by association, I can harvest blame for that all by myself. Too bad you weren't GM indeed... We'd have Peter Forsberg, Jaromir Jagr, Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Chris Pronger etc... and of course 10 more cups in the last 15 years... Yeah ok pal.

Solo in 93? Huh? I could've sworn we had 19 other guys dressed for those playoffs, but I guess not. As I recall not one goalie wore 33 since him in Montreal.. I could be wrong about that though. Here's what Roy deserves, "thanks Pat!" there I gave him his due. To be honest with you, his numbers during the eighties aren't that impressive. In fact they're rather average if you want to know the truth. Hell look at the 85/86 season stats, (his rookie year that for some reason is so sacred and hyped) 23-18-3 record with a gaa of 3.35 and a save percentage of .875. That sucks, and I'm not impressed. Even for a rookie in the 80's that's pathetic. His best numbers quite obviously aren't even with Montreal. His last game in Montreal what did he let in? 9 goals was it? Then he whines and cries as if it's everyone else's fault. I got news for you Roy diehards, Serge Savard and Mario Tremblay didn't get scored on 9 times in that game. "Waaa I just played the worst game in my life, and it's all YOUR fault!!! Trade me!" Give ME a break... And despite all this I'm a Roy fan to this day, just not fanatical enough to believe he's the greatest goalie of all time. Top 25 maybe, not number 1. After seeing his Granby numbers (which amazingly are even worse than his rookie year numbers) I'm astonished that he was even drafted, especially in the 3rd round. Alex Semin was right, if you hype someone up enough they can become a star despite their mediocre skills. I don't know about you, but I can count to three, and even five.
