In Blood Feud, Colorado Avalanche beat writer Adrian Dater not only submits that the Red Wings-Avalanche rivalry was the most feverish match-up in recent years, but also that there was none better played. No fewer than twenty players have or will eventually make it to the Hall of Fame; the best scorers were matched up against the best goalies; brilliant coaches could be found on both benches; and two of the league's smartest general managers ruthlessly tried to one-up each other at every NHL trade deadline. Blood Feud is a rollicking story of a fierce, and often violent, rivalry.

Mission 16W is the keepsake book that commemorates the 2000-01 championship season of the Colorado Avalanche. It captures the highlights of the regular season--the key players, the key moments, the key acquisitions. It captures the intensity and emotion of every game of the postseason, from the team's Round 1 sweep of Vancouver to their scintillating comeback in the Stanley Cup Finals and their eventual Game 7 triumph. It captures the celebration and the euphoria of the team and the city, especially for celebrated veteran Ray Bourque, who until this championship had had the distinction of playing the most NHL games without a champion's ring.
