    Re: NHL 12 - final 2 legends

    Nitpicky point here, but...

    Steve Yzerman never had the captain's C on his right side. They chanced it after he reitred. Yzerman always had the C on the left side (traditional style).

      In 86 and 93, the Habs won 2 stanley cup because of Roy. If that wasn't for him, they wouldn't have been even close of raising the trophy. Had to this 3 Conny Smythe, and the fact that he's consider one of the best all-time, and that's the definition of a Legend.

      Roy is to goaltending what Mark Messier was as a forward. Come playoff times, you knew Roy would be there and carrying the team on his shoulders. Just take a look at the 86 and 93 seasons before playoffs. Two of his worses seasons statistically. What did he do in playoffs? Just be stellar and win the cup plus the Conny Smythe.

      Like those who argue with Yzerman, there's no way if Roy and Yzerman aren't Legends that most of NHL players in history can be called that way.
      I don't argue Roy's on ice acomplishments weren't great, his attitude however just disenchants me from thinking much of the guy, it has zero to do with him being a Montreal Canadian, Dydren was as well. I just think he's a scumbag off the ice really.

        Yeah I just wish they would've at least put one more goalie in.. maybe Hextall or someone fun like that. Kind of a moot point I guess since the best goal ever is still an active player.

          He only had like two off ice incidents. There was a wife beating incident (which nothing ever came from it) and obviously his most famous one when he sent his kid to fight the other teams goalie when he was coaching the Remparts. Other than that there really hasn't been anything else. Yes, he's cocky but in all honesty if you ask any player on his teams with the Canadiens and Avs he was nothing but a class individual. In fact he was one of the best teammates some of those guys had ever had. Other players despised him because he was so damn good.

          One funny thing is when he was traded to the Avs. They sucked in the first ten games with him because of the fact that the players were so in shock and awe he was on their team. They also didn't know what to expect from him as a teammate (due to his last game in MTL). Well everyone should know what the Avs ended up raising that year. I think the guys ended up warming up to him. In fact he got the credit from his teammates for willing his team to victory in the locker room, not just on the ice.

              There's a lot of little incidents with Roy. The door and wife one and the one with Mario Tremblay are well known. There's the TV set send flying in Bob Hartley's office too!

              In Québec, where he is now coaching the Remparts, there's some little things that made the news and didn't do him no good. That nod of the head toward is son Jonathan asking him to go after Bobby Nadeau of the Chicoutimi Saguenneens was classless. There's a lot of whinning about the refs and the league too that didn't went unnotice.

              I don't think the guy is a scumbag but I won't say neither that he is the more classy person in the world neither. I think that Roy's a winner and sometimes, he push it a little too far, but seems he's getting older and knows more when to lift the foot off the pedal.

              Let's make it clear ion one thing. Without Roy, Habs don't win in 86 and 93, neither the Avs do in 1996. While with the Habs he was the primary reason they won it, with the Avs, with a squad full of talent, they missed the steadyness and winning guy inspirint teammates. Stephane Fiset wouldn't have been able to carry the load. Roy just made everyone on the Avs play more loose, and whe know the rest.
