NHL’s 10 most embarassing moments
Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated picked 10 most embarassing moments in the NHL. Thanks to Eric at Off Wing Opinion for the link.
I really enjoyed this special moment:
6. Patrick Roy’s Statue of Liberty: May 29, 2002
Give us your tired, your poor, your cheapest of cheap goals. In Game 6 of the 2002 semifinals between Roy’s Colorado Avalanche and the archrival Detroit Red Wings, Roy made a nifty glove save on Steve Yzerman early in the match. Then, as was his wont, Roy added a grace note, brandishing his glove like it was Lady Liberty’s torch. The problem: When the most winning goaltender in the history of the NHL raised his trapper to show the Wings and the world his swell save, the puck tumbled out and trickled into his own net.
Fill in your own French’s mustard joke here.
The Avalanche would go on to lose 2-0, then capitulated 7-0 in Game 7 as the Wings went on to defeat Carolina handily in the final.
