The NHL’s winningest goalie calls it quits!!
It’s true…he’s retiring!! Although I understand his reasons…and I can’t think of anyone who deserves to retire more than Patrick Roy, I’m still saddened by the news. He will be missed in the world of hockey greatly…and even more so by his fans.
I just hope that another Colorado Avalanche star doesn’t decide to follow in his footsteps…because if he does, then I’m going to have a breakdown!!
OK…now that I’ve stated opinion on that…onto other hockey issues. (sorry…this is my day to vent on my sport) The Stanley Cup Finals are now underway…and the New Jersey Devils have taken Game 1 with a 3-0 win over the Anahiem Mighty Ducks. In this particular matchup…I’m not really cheering for either team. I am a fan of the Devils and have been for a few years now, however…I would like to see Paul Kariya win a Stanley Cup…he definitely deserves one. So, I look at it this way…whoever wins…wins. I’m going to sit back and enjoy watching the series.
Okay…I’m off now to watch the broadcast of Patrick Roy’s announcement…

awfully tearjerking, listening to him say good-bye. and i swear, if Peter the Great calls it quits too…then, well, the world as we know it has gone to hell. lol. i seriously hope Patrick’s retirement does not cause a ripple effect. *crosses fingers*
Good-bye Monsieur Roy! Thank you!! =)
Blah – good riddance! I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how much I dislike Patrick Roy. I won’t miss him one bit. But I will admit that he was a very talented hockey player. That’s all. =) Still, I know it sucks to lose a valuable member of your team, so my heart goes out to you Crapalanche fans right now. But only right now. Hehe.
Just popped by for a visit and to wish you well
