Tells you how long it's been since I was into hockey. The team I followed was the Colorado Avalanche. Mid 90's and they had guys like Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Claude Lemiuex and of course, goaltender, Patrick Roy (Waaaaahh).
I just don't think the NHL has marketed itself that well and it was too easy to fall out of touch with the game and the stars of the league.
