Gotta See It: Roy takes to Avalanche practice in goalie gear

Watch as Colorado Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy takes to the ice in full goalie gear.

It feels so weird to see Roy in his gear in hd lol

[Carfalog]

Imagine you dome your head coach on the first shot of practice 💀

[NaijaBoiTellEm]

My men's league team needs a goalie...

[jaredcleevy]

My favorite goalie as a kid. I wanted to be pat Roy. It never gets old seeing him between the pipes

[Richie]

I think those are varlamovs leg pads, but if a legend like Patrick Roy asks to borrow your leg pads. You better say yes.

[alexg]

What if he's actually practicing for a comeback next year?

[DeygudBoyes]

I feel like we should have annual ceremonies at the All Star Game where the goalies who were inducted into the Hall of Fame all take the ice in their old gear and get to take shots from all of the modern day studs.

[ethanburns]

Wouldn’t have been sick if both goalies got injured and they had to put Roy in net as the Emergency

[justingartside]

Directly after this he requested a trade

[jivedrobot]

Wow, he still has those "could snap at any moment" eyes.

[christiantyrrell]

Now I want to see him dangle around Gretzky again

[markschaefer]

Why is 4 year old videos coming up in my recommends!

[Mitchp]

This is about how quick he looked in some of those games against the Wings in the 90’s

[jayboogeyman]

Where's the long video when he practiced in the matching koho pads?

[canuck_gamer]

He retired too early in my opinion. I think his enthusiasm for the outdoor game vs. Detroit proved that even way past his retirement he still had the competitive spirit that made him great. He was 37 when he retired and I think he was having issues with a hip (??) but he was still playing for a great team, his win total (35) was the 4th highest of his career and his G.A.A was the second best of his career. Clearly he still was able to play at a high level, I think he should have stuck around for another year or two and maybe just taken longer summers and more games off. Either way, he is the greatest!

[DadBooom]

Bet that was a dream come true for some of those guys

[marie]

Looking Good, just in time for the trade. I would have to say love the helmet...again... Nice eyes. Can't wait till Friday.

[Thinker]

I always like Patrick Roy's helmet.

“Hey coach remember when you skated us?”
*bombs a 100 mph slap shot at his balls*

Nobody:
Roy: If you don’t score on me, you’re cut!
