On the way to his third Stanley Cup and first with the Colorado Avalanche, Patrick Roy unleashed what has to be one of the best comebacks in the history of any sport, responding to a Jeremy cheap nfl jerseys Roenick quip with, "I can't really hear what Jeremy says because I got my two Stanley Cup rings plugged in my ears."
Anyway, that comment was made during the conference semifinals, where Roy's Avalanche club would defeat Roenick's Blackhawks four games to two.
The Avalanche would go on to defeat the Detroit Red Wings and Florida nhl jerseys Panthers on their way to their first Stanley Cup victory.
What fans usually remember most of this team is Claude Lemieux's brutal hit from behind on Kris Draper during the Conference finals—a hit that, in the minds of many, solidified Lemieux's standing as the dirtiest NHL.com player in hockey.
The victory was also bittersweet to the Quebec Nordiques fans, who the franchise had left behind when they fled to Colorado: The Avalanche won the Cup in their first year in Denver.
