Believe it or not we are in the seventh season of the pre-AltHL history.
In an attempt to solve their playoff woes the Chevaliers trade for Patrick Roy. One night, during the 2005 season, the Dragons were on the wrong side of a 9-1 loss. The Dragons coach regrettably did not take Roy out until the ninth goal. Roy feeling like he was left out to dry stormed off of the ice, filled with frustration and anger. He slammed his goalie mask down and paced on the SF bench. Team owner, Burmy sat behind the team bench. There was no glass between him and Roy. Roy angrily stormed up to Burmy and told him that he just played his last game as a Dragon. 4 days later, Roy was in Montreal. The Chevs sent goaltender Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky and Andrei Kovalenko to San Francisco in exchange for Patrick Roy and captain Mike Keane.
