Mission 16W : Colorado Avalanche: 2000-'01 Stanley Cup Champions

by Denver Post (Editor)

Mission 16W is the keepsake book that commemorates the championship season of the Colorado Avalanche. It captures the highlights of the regular season--the key players, the key moments, the key acquisitions. It captures the intensity and emotion of every game of the postseason, from the team¿s Round 1 sweep of Vancouver to their scintillating comeback in the Stanley Cup Finals and their eventual Game 7 triumph. It captures the celebration and euphoria of the team and the city, especially for celebrated veteran Ray Bourque, who until this championship had had the distinction of playing the most NHL games without a champion¿s ring.

[Missy · Rating 5 out of 5]

A detailed account of the 2001 Avs' Cup run, with great pictures and stories behind each of the games. I read this book and relive the suspense and excitement that culminated into Sakic handing Bourque the Stanley Cup that afternoon in June, 2001.
