Where were you when Colorado last won the cup?

[Dog]

Hi, during this run it is bringing back great memories of 2001. I was living in Hawaii at the time and finished my junior year in highschool. Was probably the best hockey moments of my life!

You lucky bastard.

You lucky bastard.

The moment Bourque got the Cup is my top all time sports moment that I've witnessed live. Don't think anything will ever top that.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I was drinking beers and got shit faced that night.

 

[UncleRisto]

I was five, six almost. Probably pretty close to waking up from a night of sleep.

Got goose bumps (and…a little teary) watching on TV. Can’t imagine how amazing it must have been live.

Moved to Colorado in 97'
Started watching the Avs in 98'
Watched game 7 in 01' as a 9 year old at a neighborhood party with my dad and some hockey friends. One of the greatest nights of my young life for sure. We launched fireworks off my neighbors porch till the cops came lol

I was in the Pepsi Center.

Same. Unreal experience.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Was at home, watching on TV. Wearing this shirt, that I bought early in the season, and that I still wear today...

It's in rough shape, with multiple holes in it, but still wearable.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I was in high school at the time. Recording the game watching on a 20 inch small ass tv in my living room. Living and dying on every play. When Joe Sakic scored that third goal I ran outside in my back yard screaming how much I loved Joe Sakic. When Sykora scored that PP goal I couldnt stop cursing out Eric Messier. Oddly enough I wasnt nervous for that game. I trusted that Roy and Joe would win it for Ray. Both guys were phenomenal that game. Remember Roy made that nice save on Elias.

Same. Unreal experience.

You guys are lucky.

Mine was HUGE. 25" TV I bought in college in 1995. LOL.

I also just realized I'm coming up on ten years on HF.

Huh...

 

[RockLobster]

I was getting ready to enter my sophomore year of HS. My parents had left town for a bit, so I was staying w/ my aunt & uncle and cousins for a week. Watched games 6 and 7 on ABC. It was amazing.

Huh...

I got my trophy for it the other day. Sobering stuff.

I had that shirt!

[The Shermanator]

I was a little kid sitting on my couch in Canada while my dad was casually watching the game. Didn't even know the Avalanche existed before this. Watched them win the game. Been a fan ever since.

Good thing the Devils didn't win...

 

[MildAvaholic]

My wife and I watched the game at Fast Eddy's bar in Grand Junction. Looks like that place closed awhile ago.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I was at an arena football game I got dragged to. I was a kid and my mom made me go (but she did record game 7 for me, I might have the VHS tape somewhere still). I remember hearing the announcement over the intercom that we won during halftime.

 

[tshack]

Became a fan of the Avs and hockey in general because of Foppa on the cover of NHL 98. Before then I didn't care at all about hockey, nobody I knew cared either. The only extremely rare time I ever saw a game was during the playoffs and I remember watching that final game in my grandparent's basement with my cousin.

It was exciting, but I didn't realize how big a deal it was. I had barely any reference to how long Ray Borque had been in the league and hadn't won the cup and they had just won it a few years earlier so I figured oh they'll win again in another 5. I mean, it was really cool to see how emotional they got, but I don't think I fully appreciated how special the moment was.

21 years ago today, eh? Guess that’s as good a reason as any for me to watch this commercial another 30 times today.



As for me, I had just graduated high school. Was at my best friend’s parent’s house watching on their rear projection big screen tv. Sakic immediately handing the Cup to Bourque still gives me chills to this day.

 

[AvsRuleU]

Was reminiscing with a buddy of mine about this the other day. I was a junior in HS at the time, and my buddy whos dad was a commercial airline pilot, and originally from Minnesota (huge hockey family) let a bunch of us HS friends party at their house for the game that evening in their huge basement. What an awesome time that was. We all went nuts when Tangs scored that first goal.

Also, can I just say, after watching some of the playoffs on ESPN, how much I really miss Gary Thorne. ESPN play by play has been ass.

 

[Avsboy]

My dad was watching it, I was 11 years old. That's when Avs got on my radar, but I only became a serious fan a year or two later.
