Compiling a “greatest” list is always a risky proposition for a publication. You’re bound to leave someone out, rank someone too high or too low, and certainly few people will agree on the final results. Such was the case with this list, compiled with a combination of fan voting, expert opinions and editorial staff gut instincts.
Like the many that have come before, and the many that will follow, this list will yield praise, disapproval, scorn and certainly debate. We hope, more than anything, it yields great memories, as it certainly did for us
What I am most proud of about this “greatest” list, however, is that it includes three individuals who weren’t directly on the ice for their contributions. The games, after all, are just a part of the story when it comes to building a world-class organization like the Avalanche.
Thanks to everyone within the organization. After all, you taught Denver how to be a title town. Here’s to many more titles in the next 20 years. {Casey Light}
