> EDIT 2: This actually reminded me of a less heartwarming but equally fun story that arose from the very liberal emergency goalie rules. One of the greatest goaltenders of all time was a guy named Patrick Roy (French, pronounced "wah"), who was not only incredibly talented but well known for… let's say shenanigans on the ice you don't normally see from a goalie. He ended his career in Colorado in the early 2000s, and in 2013 ended up becoming the head coach of the Avalanche. In 2016, Colorado found themselves in a situation where they almost needed an emergency backup goalie, and Patrick Roy was prepared to dress and play in net for the team. Unfortunately this never happened, but I would love to visit the alternate timeline where it did. He played the 'alumni' game that same year, and he's still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WehgkIDodU4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WehgkIDodU4
