It’s been 21 years in the making, nine days in the waiting, and the day is finally here. It is like Christmas morning, you’re a child of divorce awaiting the big day: you know there will be gifts, but you’re still suspicious of what’s to come. Either way, it is here. The Stanley Cup Final.
But like reaching any epic pinnacle, the only way we could have possibly made it to this point of ultimate competition is through an epic montage. So in tribute to the Avs making it to the final quest, here are the top five best (or worst, depending on your perspective) 80’s montages.
#5 Karate Kid
Every team needs a wise, calming influence. Thankfully, the Avs’ Mr. Miyagi is Jared Bednar.
#4 Footloose
You need skill on your feet if you’re gonna out skate the back-to-back defending champs.
#3 Back to School
Training isn’t all about physicality, you need to be mentally strong.
#2 Scarface
The road to victory isn’t always paved in black and white.
#1 Rocky IV:
Ivan Drago is Vasilevski. Enough Said.
