Before the Flames were good enough to make the playoffs the team I rooted for come spring was the Avalanche.
I was a huge Joe Sakic fan and also really liked Roy. Forsberg was a beauty and up there as one of my all-time favs as well.
I loved that era of hockey as the battles with Detroit and to a lesser extent Dallas were epic.
The 3 of them dominated the West for many years. Meanwhile NJ owned the east (hated their garbage play style).
