Like I can't think of another goalie other than Roy who won a cup as a rookie and was just as good, if not better, for their entire career. I mean Vernon went to the finals as a rookie and then went on to win two cups, a playoff MVP and a Jennings -- but his last couple seasons were downright awful.

I was thinking earlier how his emergence and run was similar to Kipper. JB hasn't maintained the same level, but his run was pretty insane...
