We'll miss ya Patty. You were the best.

For me, it was seeing him in the 1993 Finals against the Gretzkies, uh, Kings (which is when I rediscovered the game -- what a series!). He made an amazing stop on a breakaway, and held the puck for a whistle. When they showed the replay, you could see him wink at the King, and hold his glove with the puck up for the guy to see it. Beautiful. There are lots of great goalies in the NHL now, but I can't think of one with his mojo.
And to Anne Elk (I think) re the hateful Scott Stevens, I like seeing the geezers play, too. Ken Danyko, Adam Oates, and Steve Thomas are all older players, and all in the finals. And none of them are as annoying as Stevens.
