Lehky scoring BIG goals. Watching this after winning the cup man it feels amazing

That is why faceoffs are so important in overtime. Good effort by Helm. At 35 years old and 14 years after he won a cup in Detroit, I'm happy to see him doing well again on a winning team.

As a Habs fan, I hope Lehkonen gets the Stanley Cup~

Congrats Lekky! Still wish you played for Montreal, but happy you got another chance for the cup.

What a trade by the avalanche, back to back years he has sent his team to the cup

How about Helm, again, very involved in a series clinching play. 4th line has been absolutely impressive, O'Connor has been giving it 110%, Cogliano has already been injured and possibly again with a blocked shot, Helm with a Clinching goal against the Blues and a critical face-off win resulting in an OT goal to clinch. Burakovsky laying his body on the line multiple times, E. Johnson play some of his best hockey right now, and the stars; MacKinnon, Rantanen with crucial goals, and Makar with 5 points tonight, 9 points in this series as a defenseman. Almost every single cog is moving for the Avs machine so far these playoffs.

It's a miracle that the oilers made it this far with no defenceman on their team. Congrats to the Aves.

2023 and this still gives me the chills. Great stick Lechky

Kane watching from above in the press box, a perfect end to his season

My favorite part of this video is after the goal is confirmed Byram hugs Manson, looks around for someone else to hug, then just turns around and hugs Manson again.

Back to Back OT winners from Lehkonen to send his teams to the Stanley Cup Finals. In the post game interview he got a little teary-eyed. Well Deserved.

For those of you who don't understand the rule, when the puck is deflected but doesn't go in, high stick is determined by the player's shoulder, not the crossbar. He made contact with the puck at the same height as his shoulder. Correct call, good goal.

2 years in a row now he gets a cup final clinching ot goal. Go win the cup Lehky

Go get it Lehky, Montreal is with you!!!!

I'm amazed at how many people blame 1) a high stick, or 2) Mike Smith for the Oilers not making the cup finals. People, your team just got dominated. Even if it's called a high stick the Avs were still the more likely team to score in OT. And Mike Smith is certainly not the NHL's best goalie but it would help if you didn't get outshot 2-1. Oilers played awesome and it was a great series but the Avs were unquestionably the better team.

Coming from a habs fan… we’re proud of you lekki❤️ bring it home

Lehkonen wins it for his team two years in a row.

As the Habs fans say, Good stick, lehky

Good job lehky, miss you in montreal

The linesman saw the tip in real time and waved it off immediately. Then they check video replay. The deflect was made at the shoulder, making the rest of the of the play completely legal. Good goal 100%

That was so harsh of the league to suspend Kane for the rest of the season...

Not ironic Kane was in the stands to watch his team lose like that.

Oilers and Avs saved the best for last. Absolutely brilliant game. No quit in either side. Fought like hell. Huge respect to Draisaitl. Fought through an insane injury on half a leg. I've cheered for the Avs for as long as I can remember. For most of my life. I've never experienced my team in the final. What a feeling.

I was extremely confused when he said Lehkonen sends his team to the finals for the second straight year. That was until I realized he was not on the Avs, but the Habs last year. Duh.

Artturi Lehkonen scored that goal, the same guy who scored the goal to send Montreal to the Final, he did it twice in a row, with 2 different teams

I thought Edmonton was a hockey town. It's utterly shocking how many Oilers fans don't know the rules of the game.

Mikko Rantanen and Artturi Lehkonen. Finnish stars. So proud of you.

Super close on the high stick. Definitely looked over to me. But what I appreciate, the linesman who had great positioning immediately waved off the high stick (watch for him along the boards), so obviously he felt it wasn't above the shoulders.

I'll never understand why Lehkonen was sent away from the habs... we, the fans, miss you little underdog player !

Amazing clutch goal

EXCELLENT!

So happy for Lehky!

What a come back what a win LFG Avs.

Sportsnet you misspelled it. It's Mikko Lehtonen.

That was a distinct sticking motion 😳

Oilers can’t have excuses y’all were up 3-1 what happened

That one was for you, Kane. You d-bag. Kadri is on a contender. You’ll be unemployed shortly. All of the other Oilers showed total class this season, playoffs and post game. You were cowering in the cheap seats. Looking forward to many great battles in the future between these high flying teams.

Right on Avs 💥

Holy jumping ! What a goal! Oh yes! Congrats to the Colorado Avalanches! Wait Until next year Canada ha ha ha…. - Gary.

Kadri is advancing, Hyman is eliminated. As a Leafs fan I don't know how to feel

LEKHY AGAIN!?!?!?! LETS GO just got off work lol #GoAvsGo

This guy is so clutch 2 round 3 series winning goal in 2 years

For those saying high stick…it was negated once the puck hit the blade of Smith’s stick.

Well rip oilers, less pain is taken off from me as the oilers were bound to loose after game 3. Congrats avs I hope you win the cup! 2nd choice to win after oilers obv

Lehkonen might be one of the most valuable bottom 6 - fringe top 6 player out there. Just by looking at advanced stats.

So nice

Awesome game, goals were all soo close in each game, congrats to both teams, they put on a hell of a game! Wish the avalanche luck in the finals!

Good job boys!!!!

He's like the Robert Horry of the NHL. Wherever he goes, team wins!

Craig Simpson is clueless, the crossbar reference is if it goes directly in to the net. This is a "knocked down with high stick" call that refers to a puck contacted by a stick above the players shoulders that then goes directly to a teammate or to the player himself. The replay angle @1:39 shows it was at the shoulders but not definitively above and since it was then shot into the net legally by the player the height in relation to the crossbar is irrelevant.

Lehkonen!!! get that cup!! go habs go

Арттури Лехконен думаю очень рад что он покинул Монреаль Канадиенс

Comeback is real 🤘

LET GO AVES !!!

Hard to root for a team with so many scummy players Kassian, Nurse, Keith, Kane...

Lehkenon sends his team to the SCF for the second straight year

LET’S F%^*ING GO AVS!!!!!! WHAT A TEAM EFFORT!!

2nd straight year the oilers season ends on an OT goal at the hands of a sweep

Красавицы !!!

I bet Kane had at least 10 Large on the AV's

Pain .

What might have been....Evander Kane could have been the difference in the game they needed him most (and why they signed him) to stave off elimination....some might call it Poetic Justice!!! I'm a Habs fan and am proud of "Lekkie" for stepping up yet again but this time for the Avs....hoping the Avs go on and get the Cup!!

It's the year because the last time they won the cup they had roy and he was a former habs player now you have Lehky who also is a former habs player and both of them were first years in Colorado when they made the finals.

How sweep it is!

As usual, Mike Smith blaming anyone but himself

Forget for a moment that it happened in consecutive years - has anyone EVER scored two separate overtime goals to send their team to the Finals?

Outstanding

LEHKONEN HERO NATIONAL

lets goo lehky!!!!!!

Lehkonen and manson...2 missing parts before trade deadline...lehkonen reminds me jere lehtinen!..and little bit esa tikkanen🤟

Toronto getting knocked out first round. Oilers getting swept. Some things never change

commentator wrong here, high stick is measured from your shoulders if it's not directly redirected to the net, then it's from the crossbar

Good stick lehkyyyyyyyy

Anyone else getting déjà vu with the OT goal to win the series?

Wow, been 21 years since Avs went to final

Noone doubted it was gonna be 4 straight.

I actually feel the devastation in the Oilers Fans. They were so into it and with that lead, I could see why. I ate through my fingernails tonight. But.....Go Avs and love the outcome.

Not shocked at all people were overrating the Oilers before the series even started I knew they were getting swept before the series started

It was really close. I am amazed that with the number of cameras in there not a single one gave a definitive look.

What was the name of the Oilers goalie? Traffic Cone?

Mike Smith tried to say that it was a high stick, but that wasn’t going to change anything with his performance. The guy got absolutely cooked in the 3rd period and blew a 3-1 lead.

It was anticlimactic how the Avs celebration was interrupted by the video review. The Avs waited around had a muted celebration like I did yesterday when the cops let me of with a warning instead of a speeding ticket.

Crossbar does not matter. It was not deflected into the goal. A save was made, the rebound was put in for the goal. The puck was clearly below the shoulder. Good goal. Suck it, Canada.

I know it was a sweep, but that series seemed closer than that. Great hockey!

Once Min and Cgy were out, no one was left that had any real chance of stopping this Avs team from making the final. At this point, I just want to see Kadri lift the Cup

Lehkonen clutch

Oilers should be proud of the great season they had, no hard feeling, Avalanche were just the better team.

when does mike smith's contract expire? Can't come soon enough!

SWEEP !

Last year, Lehkonen sent Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Final. This year, he did the same this time with the Avalanche.

Arrturi Lehkonen is the hero tonight.Wherever he goes, he is loser, that's Miky Smith. I didn't see a high stick over the cross bar. I remember when was with the Coyotes. L.A Kings beat him and the desert dogs in 2012 or 2014. I don't remember. He wacked Dustin Brown on the legs. Since that incident Mike Smith lost every playoffs. Does anybody remember when he was with Calgary Flames? Yep! He lost in the playoffs too. I remember the last time Avs won a Stanley Cup was way back in 2001-02. Patrick Roy was their goalie in 2001 when they won the Stanley Cup. They are due for another Stanley Cup. 21 years in the making. Congrats Avs, and their fans. Sugar Kane probably crying in his couch tonight.

21 years Colorado vs 28 years Rangers

The same dude brings MTL and COL to the Stanley Cup Finals, well done! I think this is the Avs year. Honestly who thought EDM was going to win in OT after seeing Mike Smith in OT last year vs WPG (also got swept)? This is the best team in the weak Pacific division and the format had to send 1 of these wildcard teams to the Conf Finals lol.

Let go

COILERS the ULTIMATE CHOKERS

let me ask what if player stops high flying pack w/ hand and scores goal? does it count?

Hyvä Arska!

Eastern Canada salutes you thank you Avs for eliminating a one horse town called Deadmonton

I’m an Oilers fan and I was pissed at the refs. I was so mad and thought for sure it was a high stick. The angle was just bad, and I went through another angle frame by frame and it never made contact with his stick. It bounced off of Smith and he scored. I am pissed we lost but yes, that was sadly a goal…

👍👍👍AVS👍👍👍
