He has as glittering a goaltending resume as any man who has ever strapped on pads, and eccentricities to match. Patrick Roy won four Stanley Cup titles, and talked to his goal posts. He was named the Conn Smythe winner as playoff MVP three times -- the only player in NHL annals who can say that -- and wrote the names of his kids on his goalie stick.
He won more than 200 games with two teams, had his famous No. 33 retired by each of them, and for years made it a practice never to skate over a red line or blue line.
