Congratulations on your 30th anniversary, Avs…

This entry’s just a light-hearted one for the fun of it:

The Colorado Avalanche have compiled a list and a Tweet encapsulating their franchise’s 30 best goals over the course of the team’s 30-year tenure in Denver. Some of them were of course against the Red Wings, given that they did win the 1996 Western Conference Final against Detroit…

But let’s just remember that the Red Wings won their playoff series vs. Colorado in 1997 and 2002, and that the Wings still lead in Stanley Cups over the last 30 years by a 4-3 margin.

That, and the Red Wings were on, as they say, “the right side of history” against Claude Lemieux, Patrick Roy, Adam Foote and the rest of those arrogant bastards:

One thought on “Congratulations on your 30th anniversary, Avs…”

  1. 7-0 was the ! on this rivalry

    Plus we swept them in 2008 for good measure. I think Franzen scored like 10 goals breaking some Gordie playoff record. The good old days…
