Even just looking at the two goalies in the Stanley Cup Finals, Roy was both their hero's. I wonder how many goalies idolized Roy growing up, probably a large percentage, most of the Canadian goalies at least.
Edit- Oh, and it seems like a new era in hockey almost. Especially if there was gonna be a strike coming up (god I hope not). Arguable the best goalie and best offensive player to ever play the game in Roy and Lemieux could both be gone soon (well, one already is now), Forseberg could be leaving soon, Selanne was talking about retiring, lots of players say they would retire if there's a strike, etc. The guys I grew up watching are leaving.
