Fuuucckkk already down.
I just want a game 7. Go ⚡️
Great comeback! Lots of Tampa whining. Finish them Avs!!
Maroon is a punk… nice bitch move slash after the goal.
Yep. So much whining and bitching. Makar needs to stop playing into tampa's game. Avs getting sucked into physical game and it hurts them mostly. That hit between maroon and MacKinnon was violent, clean but them two big boys.

Yes!!!!
Wow. What a win. They looked totally over matched the first ten minutes, but turned it around and seemed to control the last thirty minutes.
Fkna!!
Kadri says he couldn't even tie his own skates this series. Damn.
Damn. I kept saying I'd the avs can pull off those dirty wins when they look overplayed they get the cup. Didnt think they had it tonight but they got it done. Wife is super happy and slightly annoyed when I say "21 years!".....a reference to when I got super shit-faced after the Cubs won and wouldn't stop mumbling "108 years". Happy for cogliano, MacKinnon, and makar amongst others.

I'm so stoked for the Avalanche. So stoked for the guys who stuck it out during the dark years and kept building a team. Go Avs!!
The only bad thing about this run is we’ll never hear the end of that horrendous Blink 182 song. Brutal.
That tidbit of information, and his "anyone who thought I was a liability in the playoffs can kiss my ass" before laughing and skating off made him the winner of the Victory Interview contest.Quote:

Fun fact: In the last 14 playoff games when he was on Toronto's roster, Kadri played 6 of them. So, hmmmm, maybe yeah kind of a liability...
Not everything in hockey is about the Maple Leafs,
In fact, nothing is. (As a sign of how irrelevant the Leafs are, spellcheck doesn't recognize "Leafs" as a proper spelling.)
Oh, FFS Avs. Get your shit together... :)

Just the fastest a team has damaged it
Go AVS!!!!!
Well, Avs are a fast team!Quote:

The damage and repairs are part of the history of the cup. I think it’s great players get to party with it.
Those gummy’s who travel with the cup must see some shit
The problem was the shit ice in Amalie Arena--that's why the guy fell.
And why is Boris Johnson handling the Stanley Cup?
Makar is a great player but I would have given the Conn Smythe to McKinnon. Even when he wasn't scoring he drove the offense when he was on the ice. His skating agility and speed created havoc for opposing D's and he was obviously the player TB worked hardest to contain. I don't get judging defensemen by their goal scoring. It seems to me their first job is to prevent goals, their second is to score them.

Also it's a trophy for the entire SC playoffs, not just the final round.Quote:

Blocked 43 shots.
+7 (4th most among D in playoffs) - Mackinnon +11
But I guess it's like every year - there's often 2 guys you could give that trophy to and it would make sense. Not discounting Mackinnon as a player at all, but Makar put up numbers that haven't been done in like 30 years. Although, we could also argue that it's due to the players he's surrounded with. Whatever, they're both awesome.
Maybe there should be 2 trophies - one for best forward and one for best defense. We could call the new one the Old Goat and it's awarded to the D-man who plays the most boring, stifling defense on a cup winning team while scoring as few points as possible. Coveted.
I like the idea. Could call it the Chara. I don't think good D is boring. I think of the Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire remark. A defenseman does everything a forward does--backwards. Having tried to pay a little D I have great appreciation for the ability to go from backwards to forwards without slowing down. There would be a lot fewer shorthand goals if forwards could skate as well as defensemen.Quote:

Makar said that Palat's goal in game 5 was because he was out of position--so arguably his defensive mistake lengthened the series by a game and deprived Denver's fans of seeing the cup skated around. (I'm sure I'm wrong but my failing memory tells me that more Stanley Cups clinchers are won on away ice.) (I don't know anything about position play--hockey at the level I played it in college was like 5 year olds playing soccer--everyone skates to the puck.)
While McKinnon has better plus minus (my source says +12) I don't put a lot of stock in it in hockey, since it reflects a player's line mates or D partner, whether they are on the power play or P kill, and who they're put on the ice against--the best D's usually get to play against the other teams top scorers.
^^ The clips of drunk Landy dropping f bombs is priceless
Found this clip of Coach Bednar catching, chugging and chucking a beer. Fucking love this!!
