Patrick Roy Shows an Empty Glove (2002)
Despite an NHL Hall of Fame caliber career as a goalie for the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche, Patrick Roy is also remembered for making a costly mistake in a critical situation. In Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals against the Detroit Red Wings, Roy believed he had made a save and raised his glove in the air to display the puck. Needless to say, the puck wasn’t there, and Roy’s distraction allowed Detroit’s Brendan Shanahan to score and ultimately lead his team to victory over Roy’s Avalanche.
