Not only I watched The Avalanche win the Stanley cup in 1996 live at the Miami arena, but I was fortunate enough to get into The locker room after the game and celebrate with the players, smoking cigars and drinking champagne. This was the best night of my life. Thank you to my friend, Sylvain Lefebvre.
I was on an airplane coming home from Denver (flying to St. Louis before driving the other 90 minutes to Taylorville, Illinois). I remember the pilot gave updates of Game 7 during the flight. When the final score was announced, it was pretty cool to be on a plane as so many of us broke out into cheers.
I was also at Coors Field and the Rocks were playing the Giants for a game earlier in the series. Scoreboard flashed an update while some fans were listening on radios and the crowd went crazy in a random moment when nothing on the field was worthy of cheers. I remember one of the outfielders looking around trying to figure out why the fans were so excited.
So very cool Pat! I tend to only watch when the teams I root for are involved also. I am so glad one of those teams is the Avs, so I get to watch some playoff hockey pretty frequently.

Fun times Pat - glad you got to enjoy both. Looking forward to you continuing to chime in and keeping Dater on task this coming year. :)
