When you think of some of the greatest moments in Colorado Avalanche franchise history, you may immediately think of any number of things.
What’s the first to pop into your head?
Perhaps you picture Joe Sakic passing the team’s second Stanley Cup in six years to a much-relieved Ray Bourque as ABC’s Gary Thorne exclaims “after 22 years, RAYMOND BOURQUE!,” as tears well up in both Bourque’s eyes, and probably yours, too.
Maybe it’s Patrick Roy’s head coaching debut, where he attempted to break the glass down and fight Anaheim Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau at the start of the 2013-14 season, a year in which the Avs would finish with 112 points in the standings.
