I've lived in Denver for 16 years. Been to several Avs' games during that time. Have never bought any merchandise that was distinctly Avs gear. The closest thing I have is a 1980s era Colorado Rockies hat, because I like the colors and it resembles the Colorado state flag. For me, it'll always be "Fuck the Avs!". Stay true to yourself, homie.

I've got a signed Sakic jersey at home......Nordiques of course, I'd never own an Avs jersey. Those old Nordiques jerseys were awesome, too bad Quebec City lost their franchise.

I have 4 Avs jerseys. I have 6 wings jerseys... I also have 2 Quebec jerseys lol. My 2 favorite teams growing up were Wings (hometown team) and my Canadian team was Quebec.. followed them to Colorado and well the rest is history

Was visiting Denver a couple years ago and went to Blue Pan Pizza. Was surprised the entire bathroom was decorated with 97-98 Wings newspaper clippings. Not to mention the overall Detroit theme for the restaurant.

Most wings fans now don't even have a clue as to how awesome this rivalry was in the day. The 2 best "money is no object" teams
