Patrick Roy
To call what Roy was doing mere hot goaltending would stress the element of luck over Roy's poise and skill … When asked in a postgame press conference about a spectacular save in Colorado's 4-3 overtime victory in Game 4 -- he had caught Scott Young's point-blank shot midway through the third period, then swept his glove upward in a Statue of Liberty pose -- Roy said jokingly, "I was too fast, eh?" Considering that Young, a 40-goal sniper, was 15 feet away when he snapped a shot that most likely reached 70 mph, Roy had reacted in roughly .14 of a second. Too fast, indeed.
-- Michael Farber, SI, May 28, 2001
