Mission Accomplished - Colorado Avalanche 2001 Stanley Cup Champions [VHS]
One team: the Colorado Avalanche, a veritable all-star team packed with  Hall of Famers-to-be. One goal: the Stanley Cup, professional sports' most  venerable trophy, which the Avalanche last won in 1996. This stirring official  NHL championship video chronicles the Avalanche's relentless pursuit of hockey's  supreme prize in 65 minutes of interviews and thrilling on- and off-the-ice  footage of their season highlights and hockey milestones. With his 448th win,  Patrick Roy breaks the nearly 30-year-old record to become hockey's all-time  most winning goalie. The Avalanche, "the best collection of pure talent in the  game," contribute five players to the 12-man All-Star roster. And Raymond  Bourque, who spent 21 years in a Bruins uniform without winning a championship,  has an emotional Boston homecoming as a member of the Avalanche. Joe Sakic leads  the power surge as the Avalanche "flatten the opposition" all season long and  compile the league's best record. After sweeping the Vancouver Canucks and  defeating the upstart Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues in the playoffs,  the stage is set for underdog heroics as the Avalanche face off against the  defending champion New Jersey Devils, a series that will go seven games. By the  time Sakic graciously hands the Stanley Cup to Bourque, who triumphantly hoists  it over his head in exultant celebration, there won't be a dry eye in the house.--Donald Liebenson
