The year is 1999. The Colorado Avalanche are ahead in the game 4-2 against the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions, Detroit Red Wings. It's game six of a best of seven series and the Avalanche have come roaring back from a two games to nothing series deficit to on the cusp of knocking off the defending champs in the second round of the playoffs. The clock reads just over 6:30 left in the third period when Peter Forsberg steals the puck from Igor Larionov and flies past him all the way to a beautiful backhand, forehand shot to score and clinch the series for the Avalanche.
