My memory is seriously fuzzy about this team. Please enlighten me.
Patrick Roy had just retired after their first round loss to the Wild the previous year. I know everyone was going nuts in the offseason when Kariya and Selanne decided to join the Avs at bargain rates. Their healthy forward lines looked absolutely ludicrous and everyone was expecting outlandish goal totals.
Forsberg missed half the season. Kariya missed 30 games. I know it was far from a disaster, they still had a 100 point season and won a playoff round. But what else went wrong besides the injuries? Selanne's 32 points in 78 games really sticks out, especially considering he put up 90 the following season (albeit in the post-lockout year filled with PPs).
