The Colorado Avalanche's thrilling, 6-5 overtime win on June 6 completed a four-game sweep of the Edmonton Oilers and allowed the team to advance to the Stanley ...

And since he's just 25, the MacKinnon-Rantanen combo should be great for years to come. The 26-year-old Canuck was the Avs' number-one pick in the 2013 draft, and each year since then, he's seemingly gotten better. But in the meantime, there's a good chance you'll find yourself in a conversation with co-workers about the Avs, whose games have been hard to see locally for more than two years owing to an

The captain of the ‘96 and ’01 championship teams was Joe Sakic, now in his eighth season as general manager and ninth running the front office.
