You should have filmed this video in the bathtub. Those things are wonderful.
I was on the Colorado train through and through, I have a bunch of memorabilia from that era.
You should update your team histories series.
Ricci is beautiful, the queen can confirm
You know The Hockey Guy has a hardcore following when he accidentally names the vid the file name 'WIN 20170825 21 52 11 Pro' and it still has over 300 views 20 minutes into the upload at 1:40am
What did the Panthers fans say after they lost Game 4? "Rats."
Foppa!!
Dead alley…😂.. what!! If I remember Krupp was out most of the regular season with a leg injury. I loved the clash with the Red Wings. Funny the AVS never fought the wings in Denver it was always at the Joe. Anyone interest watch the 20 year rival 2016, outdoor game at Coors Field with the Wings. It was good to see Sakic, Foote, Bourque, Roy and the Wings team play..great memories.
When Claude Lemieux layed that infamous hit on kris draper it created a heated rivalry right away that brawl in 96-97 was crazy
There is not a limit in success, Look at me. #2018CupRun
That Detroit-Colorado rivalry is one of my favorite memories from my childhood. The games were just dirty. I always wanted the Flyers to have that kind of rivalry with the Devils but we could never, ever beat the Devils.
Colorado vs detroit was the best hockey revelry I've seen in the last 20 years Wow that was fun to watch and I still hate Claude Lemieux
Hey Joe Sakic. GIVE THE ISLANDERS DUCHENE ALREADY
The personal asides MAKE this channel. The hockey knowledge is fantastic, and why I STARTED watching this channel, but I'm staying because there's a human being behind the camera and his lovely wife off camera and the loving bantering is epic.
This team was incredible to watch, and the way they could score with the goalie pulled made things very exciting. Often, then seemed to be able to sleepwalk through games and then hit the gas in the third and blow by teams.
I don't think Florida has won a playoff series since.
Was Vernon and Osgood
Roy fought both Vernon and Osgood.
roy actually fought both ozzy and vernon. 97 was vernon and 98 was ozzy. almost fought hasek in 02 but hasek fell on his way there and was stopped before anything happened
the goalie fights were not in 1996. the first was with vernon in the regular season in 1997, then osgood in 1998
The Avs really lit the fire under The Red Wings. Detroit had an AMAZING team in 1995-96- but they needed to get PISSED- and Claude Lemiuex proved to inspire them lol
I followed Roy to Colorado and never looked back.
when Uwe Krupp scored that goal in game 7 my mom screamed so loud the neighbors woke up.
96 Avs were a fun team to watch. Lots of characters like Keane and Ricci. The blue line wasn’t as deep like the 01 team, but worked well enough.
1995-96 wasnt the dead puck era. Next season started that era but 96 season had a bunch of 50 goal scorers and players with 100+ point players.
The Devils winning the Cup in 1995 and Florida making the Finals in 96 ushered in the Dead Puck era. Outside of maybe 2001 you didnt have many guys with high scoring seasons. Even guys like Yzerman changed their games from all-offensive players to a more defensive mindset to put their teams in a position to win the Cup over the next decade.
Honestly, I hated the era. It sucked all the joy from the game. Teams became much more homogeneous and the well established team's character just became a carbon copy of each other.
Love your videos, mate. You do some fantastic work.
Chris Simon was a juiced up psycho, but also a very talented player. Greatest bodyguard Colorado has ever had
The Hockey Guy: "Was it Vernon or Osgood?"
History: "Yes"
I was so happy Joe Sakic got his cup-but WHY O WHY-couldnt they do it in Quebec!!!
I get your point bro. If the Broncos, or Nugs moved to Quebec-or wherever (you can have the Rockies, or Rapids), I'd be pissed. But they couldn't compete in Quebec city. I don't think it had anything to do with the fans, just economics. Funny thing is, we lost the Rockies (NHL), to NJ, then played them in the '01 Finals. BTW, after maybe 2000, I hated Vancouver far more, than Detroit, or anybody else. Bertuzzi's punk ass made it much worse, but I hated them before that. And we wouldn't have won in '96, without Ozolinsh. But he could be maddening as hell. He was almost always deserving of 1 of the 3 stars of the game. But it could be for either team. He giveth,& taketh away. And I give Florida credit, they gave it a good series. But we did beat them like 8-1 in game 2. Otherwise it was a competitive series, but just wanted to point out, it wasn't close every game.
If Colorodo wins his year i hope you do another video on the total history of teh Avs
