Does anyone know why Patrick Roy was never on Team Canada until '98? First off lets look at '87. Fuhr and Hextasll were going to get those two spots obviously after both being in the Stanely Cup finals, but how in the world did Kelly Hrudey make it over Roy? Both were at training camp, but when I heard an interview by Keenan he stated that Hrudey ad a good camp.
But by '91 Roy had won two Vezina trophies and somehow was left off that team. Ranford, Belfour and Burke were on it instead. No arguing Ranford, and Belfour had won the Vezina that year but Burke? Did Keenan just not like him?
Then in '96 I remember that Bowman was orignally going to coach the team and I guess he never did like Roy, but think about it instead of him we had Joseph, Broduer, and Ranford. I'd have put Patrick in ahead of any of those. I mean the guy won the Cup that previous spring! Can anyone explain why?
