The 2000-01 season saw the Avalanche a dominant powerhouse. They
easily won the President's Trophy with a staggering 118 points and were
poised to win Ray Bourque his first Stanley Cup after twenty-two years on
the ice. Star forward Peter Forsberg had emergency spleen surgery after
their second round series against the Los Angeles Kings and missed the rest of the playoffs. The
Stanley Cup Finals was a grueling, very physical series between the
Avalanche and the New Jersey Devils. After seven hard fought games the
Avalanche had their second Stanley Cup championship. It is a tradition
for the team captain to take the Stanley Cup from the commissioner and
raise it above his head first and skate a lap around the rink before
handing it to his teammates. But Joe Sakic broke that tradition in 2001
when he refused to lift the cup and in a true show of class handed it to
Ray Bourque, who lifted it instead.
As defending Stanley Cup champions, the team held their training camp
in Stockholm, Sweden the following season, participating in the NHL
Challenge. Colorado has however been unable to recapture that moment of
glory. They have consistently been an excellent team, in fact the 2003-04
NHL season was the first time since moving to Colorado that the team has
not won its division, and it lost that by only one point to the Vancouver Canucks.
The Colorado Avalanche is full of energy for the 2006
post-season and have their eyes on the cup. Experience the thrill of live
NHL hockey playoffs with Colorado Avalanche Tickets from Showtime
