Starting later today, Mile High Sticking will be running a feature on the 18 Greatest Colorado Avalanche of All-Time. Why 18? Because it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to (cry if I want to). No, seriously though, everyone does a top 15, top 20, top 25, etc so I thought I’d be at least SLIGHTLY different here. Not to mention that once I got to like #13, it got really difficult to make additions to this list so anything past 18 and I likely would’ve gone insane from trying to make this happen.

Note: This does NOT take into account time spent in Quebec. Colorado time only.

Here’s the schedule:

#18 — Matt Duchene

#17 — Uwe Krupp

#16 — Ray Bourque

#15 — John-Michael Liles

#14 — Stephane Yelle

#13 — Paul Stastny

#12 — Valeri Kamensky

#11 — Adam Deadmarsh

#10 — Sandis Ozolinsh

#9 — Alex Tanguay

#8 — Chris Drury

#7 — Claude Lemieux

#6 — Rob Blake

#5 — Milan Hejduk

#4 — Adam Foote

#3 — Patrick Roy

#2 — Peter Forsberg

#1 — Joe Sakic
