Welcome back to Last Word on Hockey’s summer series where we look at the biggest game in team history. Each day we will be back with a new team to look at. Looking at things like the lead-up, what happened, followed, and why it makes it the biggest game. The biggest game does not automatically mean a win, either. Sometimes, it can be a loss that set the franchise back massively. Sit back and enjoy as we break down all 31 teams’ most important game. In this article, Last Word On Hockey editor Christian Holmes will discuss the Colorado Avalanche biggest game in franchise history. The full series is found here.

The Colorado Avalanche of the late 1990s and early 2000’s were one of the most dominant teams in the NHL. They made the playoffs every year between 1994-95 (their last year as the Quebec Nordiques) and 2005-06. Players like Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, and Patrick Roy were among the league’s most dominant. The Avs won Stanley Cups in 1995-96 and 2000-01 during that stretch. The team’s second Cup is notable because the series went to Game 7 and because it brought fans of veteran Ray Bourque great joy in his final season before retirement.

"He takes it, fakes it, scores" still gives me chills every time I watch it. Sakic in his prime was drool-worthy and I'm disappointed I was too young to fully appreciate it.

Was anyone here at game 7 2001?
lol I was so sure the Avs were going to win the cup that season that I recorded every televised game of that run. VHS baby even recorded over some old porn because Avs.
