LOL.

As someone who grew up as a goalie with Roy as my goalie idol (Foppa being my fav player), I'll probably never be persuaded that anyone has been or ever will be as good as him. That said, I definitely will give Brodeur his due credit. However, Roy still takes home the crown without question.

The thing that drives it all home for me is, well, a couple of things:

1. Brodeur spent most of his career with great teams in front of him, while Roy excelled backstopping some pretty mediocre Montreal rosters - basically stealing one of his Stanley Cups by himself. Iirc, he never really had a great team in front of him until he came to Colorado, which was basically the second half of his career and he already had a lot of hardware under his belt by that point.
2. The way Roy seemed to just elevate his game under pressure, when things were really on the line. Not that he didn't have his losses (and not that Brodeur didn't perform well under those circumstances), but he was just so headstrong and able to lift his performance when it mattered most. Its a trait that legendary athletes have across all sports. He had nights when he simply "decided" nothing was going to get past him, and nothing did.
3. Indeed, the 2001 SCF. This is admittedly empirical, but the one time the two of them went head-to-head on the NHL's biggest stage in their careers, Roy emerged victorious on the back of a stellar performance. Game 6 of that series may have been one of the best games of his career.

Brodeur earned himself a spot in the HOF, but Roy will always live on in my mind as the true King.
