Roy holds the NHL record for playoff MVPs. No other player in history has won as many as Roy has.

Another way to look at it... Brodeur has won 3 Stanley Cups, but not a single Conn Smythe. In fact, for one of his cup wins, the opposing goalie (JS Gigure) won the MVP - so Brodeur wasn't even the best goalie in those playoffs, nevermind the most valuable player.

Compare that to Roy... 4 Stanley Cups (2 each on 2 different teams). 3 Conn Smythes (both of his cup wins in MTL, and one of his cup wins - the last one, the "Ray Bourque" one - in COL).

If you're like me, and you value playoff performance much higher than regular season performance, then the greatest goalie of all-time is St. Patrick.
