Patrick Roy's gaffe opens door for Devils' Game 4 win.
Byline: Jennifer Floyd
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. _ The cocky swagger that makes Avalanche goalie Patrick Roy great also makes him an accident waiting to happen.
Folks were reminded again of Roy's Icarus-like quality in New Jersey's 3-2 victory against Colorado in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday night.
The Avs were 20 minutes away from returning to Denver with a chance to win the Cup with a victory in Game 5 on Monday. The game plan was simple. Don't do anything stupid. If the Devils were going to come back from down 2-1, they were going to do so on a great play, not an Avs mistake.
Except Roy didn't see going behind his net to play the puck in the face of a tenacious forecheck as a potential problem. He's Patrick Roy. Hadn't he stopped almost everything New Jersey had thrown at him so far?
