Y'now, I watched the game leading to the departure but don't remember a single goal or Roy acknowledging the jeers.
Do remember seeing him promenade behind the bench and speak to Mr. Corey and the look in Mario Tremblay's eyes at the time. If not for the thousands of witnesses I think Tremblay would have throttled him on the spot.
Media here in Montreal made a big deal of it this week. All the talk shows, special sections in the newspapers. Sort of sad, really that this is an event that fans choose to commemorate.
Not quite as pathetic as the Leafs fans' annual celebration of their last Cup victory but it's uncomfortably close.
