With Yelle I'll never forget game 3 in St Louis 2001 WCF. Missed wide open net in OT-to put Avs up 3 games to none,& they later lose. Game 4 they blow multi goal lead again-both games in St Louis (3-0 in game 4),& are staring at 2-2 series with Forsberg out for playoffs.Bourque gets on people verbally,& makes it clear that OT might determine their fate. Yelle gets a very similar chance in OT,& this time puts it in,& Avs go up 3 games to 1. Truly 1 of the most important goals in Av history. Sakic sends em to the Finals in OT in game 5.
Yelle was the consummate professional- so dependable, reliable, and consistent as a center.
Yelle Yeah! Thank you!

Met Yelle at the ground breaking ceremony for the Ice Centre at the Promenade. He went above and beyond for his fans.
Hometown boy from Bourget Ontario Canada, met him at the school when he brought the cup. Good memories, merci Stéphane.
Pretty cool hearing from one of the 1.0 team member, Stephane Yelle was a clutch player that you can depend on for a PK.
Such a great interview love hearing from the OG crew. Thank you guys ❤
So nice to see him again! Thx!
Yeller is an Avs LEGEND💪🏻👍 The guy was a proven winner🏆
a true badass. go avs forever
He is underrated for sure. Typically came up with big goals when the team needed them
Number 11, Stephane Yelle always was an underrated player. Great interview, thanks for this! 👍
He was #26. That first year the only #11 I recall was trade deadline acquisition Dave Hannan.
@@petrpumpkineater That's right, 11 came later. I must have been thinking of the number he wore last time I saw him play.
good stuff, would be great to hear from Dan Hinote, Scott Parker, and some others that were such a huge part of Avs 1.0!
I saw you make an incredible goal. You were lying down and hooked it over your back. I have been searching for a video. Know where I can find it?
The prototype for a checking line center.
They should have never traded that guy.
