June 10, 1996 Colorado 1, Florida 0 (3OT)

ROY, WHO WAS TRADED to Colorado from Montreal earlier in the season – the Avs’ first in Denver – was beyond outstandin­g in a Stanley Cup-clinching 1-0 win over Florida in Game 4 of the 1996 final, making 63 saves before defenseman Uwe Krupp scored on a shot from the blueline 4:31 into the third overtime.

Despite that clutch performanc­e and an incredible playoff run (16-6, 2.10 GAA, .921 save percentage, three shutouts), Roy somehow failed to win the Conn Smythe Trophy. That honor went to Avs captain Joe Sakic, who scored 18 goals and 34 points in 22 playoff games.
