Full interview: Chris Osgood and Patrick Roy

On Thursday in Colorado, former rivals Chris Osgood and Patrick Roy reunited for a sit-down interview.

[@gregoverholt5683]

Roy is a class act. As a Red Wings fan I hated him---but only because he was so good and such a competitor. Tough as nails too. In hindsight, without greats like Roy the games would not have been epic. Nothing but respect for both.

[@ipi223]

exactly when you can think you are good: I hated him---but only because he was so good and such a competitor nice and honest me too i've hated players better but i've learn so much love them now!!!!

[@marcstover4827]

As a Red Wings fan, this is great. Roy showed up....this is killer. I miss this rivalvry.

Love this interview...Chris Osgood was in awe of him....Patrick was just being himself and so kind to him. What a great interview!! Love Patrick!! Great job Chris!!

[@stevepouliot6906]

My man Roy, he had passion for the game and a great competitor, and Osgood was a hell of a goalie too!! That never got the respect and credit he deserved

[@Erin-bd6jg]

These are men. No hard feelings, just lessons learned. I think everyone was caught up in the moment(s) back then - for better and worse.

Man I hated the Wings back then but that rivalry made hockey glorious.

[@LauraMarieLive]

Agreed & same for me but hated Colorado. See everyone... even past enemies can find common ground & get along.😂🤣 I mean sh*t, if McCarty and Lemieux/ Roy and Ozzie can not only sit down, be civil, and shake hands but ALSO get along... THERE IS HOPE FOR OUR COUNTY AFTER ALL‼️‼️

[@stevesshawl7977]

We felt the same towards The Avs. Loved the rivalry. Greatness.

[@jacobhartmann1050]

Im a huge Avs fan, always will be, and I absolutely hated the Wings so damn much, but MAN were they an amazing team! Couldn't help but respect them and knew we were in for a rough night at the office every time we had to play them... Those two teams playing one another was must-watch TV: just two ridiculously stacked rosters with an insane amount of hall-of-fame talent. Miss those days. Could almost shed a tear thinking about it.

[@dustinnunez5077]

Never going to happen again the league is 💩 now

[@scottdecker9115]

@@jacobhartmann1050 That alumni game brought back some good memories as well.

[@jamiethornton6101]

Just look at the players on the Wings and Avs between '96 and '02. Over 20 Hall of Famers and go past those guys. There were a lot of really good solid hockey players on both squads. It was more than the fights. It was true hatred, but true greatness. It was Passion and skill. It was anger and greatness. I can go on. But everything about it was great. Listening to all these players talk about it, is amazing. Anyone who didn't see the Alumni game about five years ago should go and watch it. The full game is on youtube. They said all the players on both sides had gone out to dinner the night before that game and had a great time talking about the rivalry. I would've loved to hear and see that.

[@scottdecker9115]

I agree. You know it seemed like every year from 96'-02' the two teams knew in the backside of their minds: "You want to win the Cup you have to go through each other. It's inevitable." You know, there are many rivalries in the NHL, but I don't think any of them will ever compare or really be defined as well as Detroit & Colorado. It's a shame they play in different conferences and don't play each other as much. I would love to see them renew the rivalry again.

7 Stanley cups combined from these 2 legends wow!

[@scottsway]

One of the greatest rivalries in all of sports! I miss those days...

[@michaelhanna9793]

Obviously Patrick Roy wanted to say Mike Vernon was tougher. What a great interview, the best I've seen!

[@marcstov]

Roy.....red wings fan... good for you. That's badass to do trhis interview

[@Worlorn]

lifelong Avalanche fan here. I gotta say I love this interview. not only Roy just sounding awesomely Canadian, but the fact the most entertaining (imho) rivalry ever, became a great way for two spectacular athletes use time's gift of perspective to look fondly on it and remember its lessons.

[@pepelopez9301]

Thumbs up. Great players...

[@Mansini77]

Awesome interview! It's great to see two great goalies remember the good ol days with laughter and those memories of the great rivalry that was. Thx for the upload!

[@v4v819]

Osgood deserves to be in the HOF one day... 90's was a great time for goaltending and there was a lot of stellar goaltenders that got outshined by monster goaltenders of those days like ROY, Brodeur and hasek... Cujo also deserves to be in the HOF!

[@thelarryus1]

It looks like they are at Deadwood restaunt in Northville, Michigan.

[@matthewburkhart142]

Have much respect for Roy,wish sometimes he would have been a wing though. Very happy with Osgood too though. Ahhhhhh the memories....go wings!

[@RyanGriffore]

Roy and Osgood, regardless of all bias were great for their teams in lie of all the other BS. I loved the goalie rivalry more than the rest. The fact that they acknowledge the insanity of where it all went... speaks volumes to their overall characters.

[@angrytom1923]

Nice to see there's no animosity all these years later. In the intense heat of competition at the highest level, it's understandable you'd "hate" the other guy, but when it's all said and done, that rivalry could be boiled down to one word: respect.

[@hunterb89]

There's an interview floating around on KZbin where Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux were both present. They held no distaste, nor any grudges against each other. That represents exactly what you said. Respect.

[@darualid]

I bet Vernon and roy wouldn't be as friendly hahaha

[@akponyboy]

Leave on the ice rink, i remember when Patrick was pulled from the game from Montréal Canadians, he was livid

[@ricardoconqueso]

remember that same year he changed teams and won them a cup?

[@areluoes]

really fun interview.. great to relive such a amazing rivalry, no matter if you're an Avs fan or Red Wings fan.

Great interview! I was a fan of both becuz of the rivalry. The anticipation was awesome!

[@ekim4363]

Both should’ve taken their jackets off and gotten into a fighting trance for old time sake, I’m a wings fan. Sadly that December 1995 game in Montreal in essence started the wings v avalanche rivalry.

Only thing better than watching these two talk, was to watch them try to knock the $#!+ out of each other! Sure miss those days!

[@matthewburkhart528]

I'm a wingnut till the end, but I have so much respect for Roy, and Sakic....I do.

[@Nhamp2000]

If my life depended on needing a goalie to win a game, it's Roy.

[@prochrgedLT1]

As a lifelong Avs fan, we hated the Wings. But with the passage of time, nothing but respect remains. The golden years of hockey and, for me, the best rivalry in the NHL. The talent on both teams were second to none. Avs: Sakic, Forsberg, Roy, Deadmarsh, Lemeiux, Keene, Ricci, Bourque, Kemensky, Foote, etc. Wings: Yzerman, Chelios, Fedorov, Kozlov, Larionov, Fetisov, Draper, Konstantinov, McCarty, Lidstrom, etc. Even better now that Sakic leads the Avs, and Stevie Y leads the Wings. How cool is that?

[@matthewburkhart528]

@prochrgedLT1 As a lifelong wingnut I concur, I knew every year it was a battle in the west between them and us. I met Aves fans and we still talk shit,not as heated as before. The talks are more of when hockey used to be hockey,the games changed and I no longer really watch anymore.

[@TheKrazykittengal]

other than kick the shit out of you? love it!!!!

[@pianotalent6437]

Imagine the wings and avs teaming up. That would be a wrap for the league 😂

[@mitchmollison1948]

Lmaoo you can feel the tension

[@xxMisterJxx]

Big Avs fan. Roy was and always will be my favorite player. But I’ve always loved Osgood, despite my hatred for the red wings.

[@TG_8]

And as a diehard Wings fan, I absolutely loathed the Avs, but of course Roy was a legend and I always had a certain respect for Joe Sakic. He always reminded me of Colorado’s version of our own Steve Yzerman

[@F14Goose37]

I wish I could give this five thumbs ups.

[@DuecePiece]

Wings fan. This rivalry made my childhood that much better! I couldn't stand Roy because he was just so good but I like many other Wings fans at the time HATED Lemieux. After all these years though I realize why he did it- he was dirty but he was an enforcer, Draper was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. One hit spurred on the best hockey we'll probably ever see! Go Wings!

[@fnecj3]

If he is not does not get the "coach of the year" it would be shame! What a job of coaching this year! Class guy, class interview! fun to watch!

[@straightgoods8838]

Roy: I wanted to kick the &^%$ out of you! Osgood: ...and I was thinkin', holy *&^% LOL

[@marie2274]

Osgood isn't playing in the alumni game Friday night. From what I have heard Osgood and Vernon aren't going because of Roy. But that is a rumor going around in Denver.

[@josefjakubec8935]

Just look at Chris's twitching leg while asking some questions? Great interview but even after all these years you can sense the air got a bit denser at some points of this discussion.

When he played I hated Roy, because he was so damn good. That era produced some of the best in net and it was a genuine pleasure to see. Goalies today are good but feel cut from the same style cloth. And there all huge.

[@vonmilash823]

Ozzie was either very nervous or felt very awkward. That right foot almost never stopped going. They were civil for the interview, but clearly these two guys are not exactly friends, and probably never will be.

I HATED the Avalanche back then but with the Star Talent on both teams is something we don't see today #LGRW

[@miaphoto]

I agree, give these guys swords and maces and they'd be knights. Valiantly fighting for a cause, passionately dying on the ice for a cup! You can have your NASCAR, NFL, MLB....hockey, pure passion, from the fans, to the arena employees to the players.

[@RC-fh2lk]

Hockey Players are the best! Lots of hate between the Ave’s and Wings but as old guys they can hug it out.

[@viresproductions]

Great interview, I wish they would've brought up the 7-0 ass-kicking in game 7 in '02.. might've made Roy flip out though haha

[@toddstarks226]

I miss those days. Seems like the Wings turned back into the “Dead Wings” for 20 years. I understand it’s a rebuilding process, but damn it takes along time. Going on 15 years for the Pistons too. To see teams under .500 come back year after year and have turn around seasons, kinda hurts. Why not us? Wings are such a young team, but looks like they are coming around nicely. Hopefully, Hockey town returns sooner than later. As for the Pistons, it’s gonna be a miserable season. Tom Gores sucks.

[@Chrisman77]

I understand Osgood is the interviewer here, but he really seems to be kissing Roy's ass a little. Wtf is that all about. Ozzie, cmon you guys were rivals and u deserve to have maybe not the same but similar respect as well. I've always been a diehard bruins fan so I hated Roy growing up, but I gotta admit now that I'm a little older, he was pretty boss not only in his play but the way he carried himself.

I mean he grew up idolizing him. Yeah they had that rivalry but you have to imagine Osgood didn't really have a beef personally with Roy.
