Alas and alack; the rumors of the retirement of King Patrick appear to be true.
I learned this while watching Barry Melrose between periods last night, before the hated Devils mowed through the hapless Ducks in the third period. How many odd man rushes can one team give up without getting blown out? Jesus.
Anyway, here's Patrick as I think of him (still can't believe those morons in Montreal let him go):

He's really one of the ones that I know I'm going to tell my kids and grandkids about seeing. But how can you convey through words the sight of Roy shrugging his shoulders and bobbing his head back and forth with that crazy look in his eye? You can't.
Roy's defining moment came not on the ice, but at a press conference where he was asked, during a Phoenix/Colorado series, about Jeremy Roenick's comments that Roy was very beatable. Patrick's response: "I can't really hear what Jeremy says because I've got two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears."
We'll miss ya Patty. You were the best.
