See, Patrick Roy pays attention to analytics.

The Colorado Avalanche head coach and winning goalie in the NHL Stadium Series alumni game versus the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night unleashed a flawless trolling, and also self-deprecating, quip in his postgame scrum.

When asked about the win, Roy told Yahoo's Greg Wyshynski: "Yeah, but our Corsi was not very good, though."

His Avalanche, ranked dead last in Corsi For percentage this season, are once again defying, or at least combating, what possession metrics reveal about performance.

They hold the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

The Avalanche defended home ice, or field, with a 5-2 win in the reunion clash, which was markedly well-behaved compared to the standard set throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

Here are some of the best photos from the event:

There was never any pressure, Henrik Zetterberg.

Burnaby's own.

The always colorful Darren McCarty.

Mike Ricci's hair remains glorious. Chris Simon's now non-existent.

Pondering multiple offers for Jonathan Drouin, probably

Pondering the Avalanche's offer for Jonathan Drouin, probably.

An all-time faceoff.

The very-tanned Chris Chelios found one friend inside Coors Field. The rest, not so much.

The obligatory wide shot.

Feeling a little like Semyon Varlamov.
