The coach decided to fuck around and then found out in short order.
Changed the trajectories of two franchises just like that.
That was the day he started to pronounce his last name as “Wah!”
I watched that game, it sticks out in top 10 hockey memories.
Best day of my sports life
The fucking domino effect from this night man
The REAL beginning of Canada’s Cup curse
I still curse every single person involved in this soap opera of a fiasco. A battle of egos between Roy and Tremblay, and Houle and Corey caved. I cannot stand any of them today, even Roy.
I had no idea… when I think of Roy I go back to the 2002 conference finals vs Nabokov. That was a legendary 7 game series!
They might as well have been the Moscow Red Wings back then, like almost the whole team was from Russia
Glad baby lindéis didn’t get his name on the cup to tarnish it
this farce cost us at least two stanley cups imo
Yeah, but everyone ages out at some point. The man is a legend. Hall of Famer too.
One of the best days in Avalanche history.
It was a great night. From Detroit perspective :p
Fuck Mario Tremblay
All my homies hate Réjean Houle
Beginning the downfall of the Habs that hasn’t been consistently righted since.
One of the saddest days of my childhood life
That image isn’t from December 1995. Roy was wearing Koho 540s in that game, here he has on the set he wore the season before (and when he won the cup in 1993)
I watched this live and it ruined me on being a Habs fan. I became a Sens fan that day and I’ve been unhappy ever since.
The Wings torched him almost as badly in game 7 of the 2002 semifinals.
How does Roy and the Canadiens tie into Lindros and the QC/Philly trade? (I see Lindros discussion in here)
The coach shit the bed
Did he try not letting in 9 goals?
Une des journées les plus sombres de l’hostoire du CH…
