As a hockey fan I'll make a reasonable analogy here. Roy is considered the greatest playoff goalie ever. But having seen him at his prime, he was never as good as Hasek and Brodeur. Hasek never won a title but he is still to this day considered by most hockey fans the greatest goalie ever. Brodeur was more accomplished but what made him stand out above Roy was his talent. Marty was a superior talent to Roy. His butterfly stance and puck handling was the best ever. Roy got the credit because of his playoff success. He is the NHL's version of Tom Brady.
