Peter Forsberg

The 2000–01 Colorado Avalanche season was the franchise's 29th season, 22nd in the National Hockey League, and sixth as the Colorado Avalanche. The Avalanche won their second Stanley Cup by defeating the defending champion New Jersey Devils 4–3 in the Final. Ray Bourque would be the first and only NHL player to hoist the Stanley Cup prior to the team captain when Joe Sakic handed it to him out of respect for the future Hall of Famer in what proved to be his final game.

This would be the last Stanley Cup title for the Avalanche until 2022.

Regular season

  • October 14, 2000: In a victory over the expansion Columbus Blue Jackets, Patrick Roy tied Terry Sawchuk for most career wins by a goaltender.
  • October 17, 2000: In an overtime victory over the Washington Capitals, Patrick Roy broke Terry Sawchuk's record for most career wins by a goaltender.
  • October 20, 2000: A pre-game ceremony was held to honour Patrick Roy's 448th career victory. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman presented Roy with a goalie stick dipped in silver. On the stick was engraved the name of every building he ever played in. The names of his children were also on the stick. Governor of Colorado Bill Owens proclaimed October 20 to 26 "Patrick Roy week" in the State of Colorado. Jerry Sawchuk, Terry's son, raised Patrick's arm in the air. The Avalanche defeated the Florida Panthers 5-1 in that game.
  • [[File:2001 NHL All Star Game Colorado Avalanche logo.png|200px|right]]February 4, 2001: The 2001 National Hockey League All-Star Game took place at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. The final score was North America 14, World 12. Five Avalanche players took part in the game as well as head coach Bob Hartley serving as an assistant coach for the North America team.
  • February 13, 2001: Patrick Roy made his first visit to Montreal since breaking Terry Sawchuk's record for most wins by a goaltender. Roy had won 289 games with the Montreal Canadiens, and the Canadiens held a pre-game ceremony for Roy. On that night, the Avalanche defeated the Canadiens in overtime 3-2.
  • March 24, 2001: Ray Bourque returned to Boston one last time as a player. This was also his first and only visit to Boston since being traded to the Avalanche. The Bruins fans gave Bourque a standing ovation as the Avalanche defeated the Bruins 4-2.
  • April 8, 2001: Patrick Roy won his 40th game on the season, marking the first and only time in his career he reached that total in a single season.
