Nickname : "Casseau" :
When Patrick Roy first joined the Canadiens in 1985-1986, he was a young bachelor who wasn't particulary fond ok cooking and ate most of his meals in restaurants. Patrick's favorite food was french fries, which he enjoyed day in, day out. His teammates couldn't help noticing their netminder's habits and decided to nockname him 'Casseau" (the square cardboard container used to serve french fries "to go"). Since then, Patrick has married and, yes, his eating habits have changed. :0) Roy's others nicknames are St. Patrick, The King ...
