The organization succeeded early and often upon switching locales from Quebec City to Denver and that helped set the bar for the Avalanche at an impossibly high level. The franchise won its first Stanley Cup title in 1995-96 -- the first season for the club in Denver -- and the Avs added another championship five years later. Now, after Colorado made the postseason just twice over the last five years, the club, a |

He returned to play in 25 games last season, recording just two goals and 10 points, then was shut down in early February and placed on the club's long-term injured list. This time, it was due to a hard hit from Colorado Avalanche defenseman Matt Hunwick in a game in Denver on January 22.

Drury earned that praise, impressing the revered Sakic, and legions of NHL fans, with his penchant for scoring important goals. In fact, Drury scor |
