It’s pretty awesome seeing Roy back in net wearing his famous Koho pads. If you need a reminder of how dominant Roy was when he played, here’s a little video that should jog your memory:
Also, the matchup between the Wings and the Avs should be getting a lot more play than it is. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, the rivalry between these two teams was one of the most intense in sports with Roy being right in the middle of it.
