Champs!

Low-key hockey might have the dopest championship celebration ceremony.

Each player gets to hoist that trophy and glide across the ice in all the glory in front of your cheering fans.

What a run, go Avs!

Edit: their championship trophy and the team pic at the end might be goat too.

Joe Sakic look like he got aboriginal blood....

That no icing call at the end was a joke. Hedman is waiting for the call and they waved it off last second.

Attrition factored in to why Colorado won. Tampa felt like they were out of gas by the end.

Yea, Tampa had some tough series and I think they were tired. Avs a buzzsaw. They had fresh legs and too young and talented. They controlled the pace for much of the series.

Never understood why the leafs traded Kadri. Now I get it...he's a winner.

Really good series! Neither of these teams are my team. I picked Tampa because I questionned Colorado's goaltending and Vasilevskiy can steal games. Tampa has been there before as well.

Congrats to the Avs and y’all Denver sports brehs especially

He's going down as an all-time great barring injury. The MacKinnon/Makar combo is gonna win at least three Cups. Hasn't been a F/D pairing in their prime like this in a long time.

Are we just forgetting two players the Avs just played against?

Kucherov and Hedman.......

Hedman isn't nearly as dynamic as Makar. He just put up the fourth most points in a single postseason by a defenseman in NHL history in just 20 games.

Kroenke got his super bowl and cup

Thats a great point. Im trying to think of some now.
Yzerman/Lidstrom? Stevie Y wasnt peak but still great when Nick was the best defenceman.
Hull/MacInnis?
Messier/Leetch??
Name some others for me,

This presentation stinks it used to be better back in the day when they team took a lap around passing it off to different guy, now its a skate to center with it bring it back pass to the next guy.....

Exactly. You.guys through the most brutal playoffs in any sport, only to take 5 strides with it and passing it on?? Garbage!! Just imagine Messier doing that in 94, or Yzerman doing that in 97, or Bourque in 01 etc...its a long journey and they should have all the time in the world to skate with the Cup
