Doesn't matter if you think he did MORE for Colorado. He won 2 cups over there, he won 2 cups for us here. He was the youngest person to receive the Conn Smythe trophy and he did that with the Canadiens in his rookie season. He won 10 overtime wins in the stanley cup playoffs in 93 to win us the cup. I could go on but those two are more than enough. Roy's legacy in Montreal was ended because of a stupid coach that ruined what would have been more cups for the Canadiens.

Roy's antics with his son should be judged as a coach but in no way should it reflect on his playing career for the Canadiens. The guy is a warrior and there is no denying it. The guy who gave it all every game he played. The ceremony was beyond classy (once again) and I'm glad it finally happened. It should have happened sooner but better late than never.
