I still watch it an get goosebumps. Only a few things give me goosebumps every time I watch it and this is one. The moment, the call and everything was perfect
I remember my brother watching this. I wasn't into hockey but now when I watch this it makes me cry. I became a true Avs fan in 2012. So watching them raise the cup a few nights ago was so amazing.
I remember watching this with my family back in 2001. Just by happenstance I was in town this time around watching game 6 with them as well. Brought back great memories.
My Uncle and Aunt were part of the organization and were really good friends with Hinote and got to drink out the cup at his party in Minnesota. What a time.
One of the greatest Stanley cup lifts of all time. Super Joe very classy on his part to give Bourque the cup so that he could hoist first. Mission 16W Complete. Go Avs Go !!!
Great video!!! I didn’t see them win either of their first two cups since I wasn’t a fan of hockey back then. My husband introduced to me the Avs and the game of hockey in 2002. Been cheering for the Avs through the good and bad times since then!
This 3 Stanley Cup for the Avs is great but it isn't even close to as emotional as the 2001 run. Still brings a tear to my eye when Bourque lifted the Cup, Sakic is such a class act and his handoff to Ray will go down in history as one of the most memorable.
One of the most memorable Stanley Cup-winning moments in NHL history, when Sakic immediately passed the Cup over to Ray Bourque, who finally got to lift the Cup after 21 seasons, in what was his final NHL game. Truly an emotional moment for sure.
Wouldn't make sense. Sakic handed it to Bourque not just because he is a class act, but also because he had already hoisted it. Landeskog had not. So had Erik Johnson. English is not my native language, but I hope you got me right
ray bourque getting the cup was not the first time the captain handed it off instead of taking the lap, gretzky handed the cup to steve smith after winning in 1987 because of the own goal smith scored the previous year on his birthday to eliminate the oilers
I lived in Quebec until 1990, used to go to the Nordiques games. Moved to California, and followed the Nordiques and then the Avs. 21 years we waited for another cup. Can't stop smiling.
I’m a die hard Bruins fan, and this remains as my favourite sports moment of all time. Best assist of Sakic’s career.

"After twenty-two years, RAYMOND BOURQUE"
if that doesn't make you cry you're not human 😭😭😭
Great to see my avalanche back on championship level they deserve it!!

Tears to my eyes to this day. One of the most beautiful moments in sports history.
Chills. So many legends on that team. Thank you, Pierre.
Watched Game 7 at my dad’s place when I was 17. Watched Game 6 of this year’s Cup Final at my dads place again. Same emotions.
I only got to see the last 7 minutes of that game 7 as I was driving home. Listened on the radio though. Awesome the only way to describe it.
My Uncle and Aunt were part of the organization and were really good friends with Hinote and got to drink out the cup at his party in Minnesota. What a time.
Still brings me to tears..... loved me some Ray Bourque.
Awesome video! Such a special moment at the end.

I wish there was a full length documentary about Bourque’s last two seasons. It’s one of the best stories in NHL history.
Great job by Todd Romero and the edit staff!

These videos are awesome.
Sakic, Roy, Forsberg and Bourque - that's a pretty good team
Great year, Kobe and Shaq win and the AVS win.
Congats! On winning the Stanley Cup.
That was such an amazing season.
Most memorable lift

Imagine Landeskog gave it to Sakic without lifting it over his head... That would've been iconic!

After Borque's speech the Avs outscored the Devils 7-1.
Totally epic! 💪 🔥
Best captain. #19
20 years in the future people will (hopefully) watch similar stuff about this year's champs.
I was born in 01 but I got to see the Avs lift the cup 21 years later
Please release to Stanley Cup Finals recap already!!
These stories are much, much too short. Make this an hour long documentary please.
Those already exist. There's documentaries for both the 96 and 01 cup runs that are both excellent.

Recently found out that devils fans are still mad about this...
The series against the Lightning was well fought.

Still remember how Sakic immediately passed to Bourque. What a great captain!
The 2001 Avalanche did brilliant on winning the cup. 😀👍🏒
