As the Colorado Avalanche continue to celebrate their Stanley Cup victory we reflect on the journey and celebrations ahead.
Besides lifting the Cup what was your favorite moment?
Jacob: You could ask me this question every day for the next month and I might give you a different answer each time, but for now I have to say Darren Helm’s buzzer beater against the Blues in Game 6. With all the baggage the Avalanche had in the second round, it was hard not to think “here we go again” after they blew a 3-0 lead in Game 5 as well as two separate one-goal leads in the final 5 minutes of that game, and as soon as Helm’s shot hit the back of the net in Game 6, it felt like the last 3 years of anguish and frustration just melted away in an instant.
