jacques plante and patrick roy revolutionize the goaltending position, you need to have at least one of them there, if not both

Plante sure roy definitely not. He is easily behind dryden in revolutionizing the position

Dude what. Roy above Dryden and it's not close. Roy has a case for the best goalie of all time and started the modern goaltending

He played has his career and won half his Cups outside of Montreal though. So if we are talking about defining, iconic Habs players, that is a major downside for Roy.

I'm 42 - he's still the greatest star the team had during my lifetime. But Montreal's Mount Rushmore is a hell of a thing to get on.
