PLN 13 "Canadiens Retire Roy's No. 33"

I read "Canadiens Retire Roy's No. 33" by the Associated Press. This matters because Patrick Roy is the best goalie the NHL has ever seen with and can claim ownership to more than 10 records in the NHL record book, including Regular season wins (551), playoff wins (151), playoff shutouts (23), and Conn Smythe, or the playoff MVP, throphies, withe 3. Patrick Roy was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 1984, played his first game late in 1985, and the next seaon was an all time starter as a rookie. Not only was Roy a starter at age 20, but he led the Montreal Canadiens to win the 1986 stanley cup as a rookie, winning the playoff MVP for the first time in his storied career. He would spend 9 years with the Montreal Canadiens, also winning the stanley cup, and MVP honors in 1993. Patrick Roy was traded to The Colorado Avalance on December 5th 1995. He would spend 9 more equally successful years in Colorado, winning two more stanley cups in 1996, and 2001, and also win one more MVP in 2001. This matters because this may be the best goalie the the NHL has ever seen, and it is unlikely the there could be another legend like Patrick Roy in the hockey world in a very long time. This relates to the world because hockey is a sport that is a lifestyle in Canada, just like everyone skiies in Colorado, everyone plays, watches and talks about hockey in Canada. That is why this is a big deal to the fans of the Canadiens, and hockey fans everywhere, because a legend has claimed his spot among the titans that rest in the rafters of the Bell Centre, the home of the Monteal Canadiens, and 24 stanley cups.
