Patrick Roy retirement ceremony. 10/28/2003. Colorado Avalanche.

[@hannahm859]

This still makes me cry so much. My heart hurts but is so happy all at the same time. He was and forever will be THE greatest goaltender of all time. Nothing will ever change that.

[@paulthomas9911]

not even close. Ken Dryden was better, as was Tretiak imo. Roy didnt close a lot of games. He would make mental errors.

[@paulthomas9911]

@archona54 i agree. the reason you cant say Roy was the best of all time is because he cost his team many games due to mental errors. he was a great butterfly goaler though.

[@davidkruse4030]

Why are you crying

[@michaelwren5276]

Damn Right!!!!!

[@tonybleau6219]

@@paulthomas9911 What a stupid statement. Only player ever to win 3 Conn Smythes. I think he can commit a few mistakes without us holding it over his head...

Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic... The reason Colorado was my favorite team, I don't even live there lol.

Peter Forsberg...one of the greatest ever

The fact you didnt mention Forsberg, wonder if you were a fan after all.

[@Mordeth0666]

Roy, even the name means King. Those were the times my friend...

[@waynetroutfish142]

Ever since Patrick retired hockey hasnt been the same for me. I honestly cant enjoy it. Ive been following Patrick since i was 5. Those were the days. Truly the GOAT!

[@RejeanLandschoot]

le meilleur gardien de tout les temps...

[@SteveWalden73]

pour les anglophones, "the best goalkeeper ever"

A Warrior if there ever was one... Arguably the best Pro-Athlete Denver ever had. You had to see what he brought to the ice to even begin to understand.

The greats were born with gifts, but you DO NOT get to that level without HARD work and sacrifices.

[@megslynnandrade]

I was there. I had a sign that read "Colorado thanks you"

[@jesls1990]

You are the best ever Roy!

[@craigcibrone4633]

Followed him his whole career.The day he retired I couldn't believe it.Actually lost the love for hockey that day.Couldnt watch another game for a long time.Its stupid but he and Mike liut were the reason I loved hockey so much

[@gibbledman]

Simply the best goaltender to ever play the game. Period.

[@foskco87]

Brodeur was always my all time favourite goalie, but there's just something about Patrick Roy that just seemed almost not-human. The dude could see/predict the puck like no other. I certainly miss that era of goaltending. When butterfly was taking over, but the old school stand-up style was still visible in the game. Names like Roy, Brodeur, Joseph, Belfour, Hasek, Potvin etc come to mind. Damn that was a good era of hockey.

[@bostongirl1889]

Words can't deacribe this.....amazing you deserves it!!! Brings me to tears!! He should have never retired!! Love Patrick!!! Thank you Patrick for everything!!' ❤️

found it pretty awesome the first 3 people to congratulate him after the ceremony was Sakic Foote and Forsberg..all 3 are retired by the Avs now.. awesome

[@Aijaleena]

***** Especially Duchene and MacKinnon worshipped Sakic and the golden Avs, so that is more true than false

[@meladgoat]

ROY IS THE GOAT, 4 FOR 4 IN CHAMPIONSHIPS. single-handedly won 2 chips with Montreal. and was a big reason why colorado won 2 as well. they had a good team. but no way they win those 2 cups without roy

[@MrBaraboshka]

And three times Conn Smythe! This is a record.

[@AltCTRLF8]

and pioneered/perfected the butterfly style. how many goalies today owe their technique to #33??

[@devo6665]

He's 4 for 5 but yes still the best goalie to ever play

4 for 5.. he lost in 89' to Calgary, but yeah.

Who writes better speech than Roy? Nobody. The only player in history with 3 conn Smythe , no other player in history at any position came close to matching his playoffs performance , one of the greatest clutch athlete of all time , forever a hab

[@voilalala0305]

the king Roy of all time

[@Zamppa86]

The record of 3 Conn Smythe's suggests he is the greatest playoff performer of all time alongside with being the greatest goalie of all time! My all time favourite hockey player!

[@lisasurette8384]

My all time favorite. Sad he doesn't play anymore but he will still be the best in my book. Love the winks hed give to his opponents

[@lucrat666]

Thanks for the upload, that was great to re-watch that. But it was on 10/28/2003 not 10/23/2003.

[@markdubeau6784]

back in MTL he'd win games with barely a team in front of him. If he had a stacked team like Dryden, Fuhr, you name it, his numbers would have been unreachable. I mean, first season in Colorado and bam, another Stanley cup, only he didn't have to do all the work. So, all you haters, give it a rest.

@@ciaronsmith4995 ha. roy is nowhere near number 1. good joke. Tretiak, Brodeur, on and on. much better goalies came up big when it mattered.

[@ciaronsmith4995]

@@paulthomas9911 WHAT? Brodeur??? That guy is so crap compared to Roy and Hasek. Played behind a trap and when he faced Roy in the finals got massively exposed. Roy won 3 Conn Smythe Trophies (goalie record) and 4 cups. Roy is the ULTIMATE big-game goalie. No goalie ever won the playoff MVP award more than him. Get a clue man. I's honestly not even a debate. Roy is the greatest goalie of all time by FAR. Just a legend..

[@paulthomas9911]

@@ciaronsmith4995 that is your opinion. Broduer won 3 stanley cups, and never was the reason the team lost. Roy was the reason the avalanche lost to the red wings in 2002 and additional years. Roy was overrated. Hasek is better than Roy too. So is Tretiak. I will say, you can make an argument for Roy being top 5 of all time, which is a pretty good achievement.

[@ciaronsmith4995]

@@paulthomas9911 The fact he won 3 Conn Smythes clearly destroys your argument. 2002 was his last season and he had an awful game 7 But he stole pretty much every other series win the Avalanche had against the better coached Red Wings. But your argument is flawed again because Brodeur was absolutely the reason NJ lost in 2001 in Game 7 too! Lost his angles big-time! Sorry but Roy WAS THE reason the Canadiens won the cup twice and Avalanche won it twice. Anything else you say is absurd man. Without him, they don;t win those cups, plain and simple. Did you see him at Montreal? 10 straight OT wins. 3 Conn Smythes which clearly indicates he was the best player in the playoffs 3 times. Something no other goalie has ever done. Patrick is the GOAT. Then Hasek. Then Sawchuk. Then Tretiak. Then Brodeur.
