You know the old adage — you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. I think on some level Colorado Avalanche fans from the 1990s and early 2000s knew we had a special team. We just expected we’d always have a great team.
That’s not to suggest that the current Colorado Avalanche aren’t special and great. They’re just not the consistent Stanley Cup contenders from the glory days. They’re the team we’re watching grow up.

In any case, I, personally, didn’t know how nostalgic I’d be for the Avs of yesteryear until the Stadium Series came up.
