The Avalanche Cannot Be Run By Its Past

In 2001, I was playing snake on my Nokia (with an Avalanche faceplate, of course) while waiting for Ja Rule and Nelly to download on Napster using AOL dialup. Things have definitely improved for the better since then, but not for the Avalanche.

Thanks to their 20th Anniversary, we have been bombarded with montage after montage of the Avs and their first years of franchise domination. I consider myself a champion at re-living the Avs and their glory days. I can still tell you where I was when Uwe Krupp scored the game-winning overtime goal in ’96, and which players scored the three goals in Game 7 against the Devils.
