Lehkonen's winning goal was great. The best team of the season won. Congratulations Colorado Avalanche!

I’m in absolute tears!!!! I was 8, just a lil guy skating around with Sakic in mind when the Avs last won… I can’t believe we are here we did it we win! I have played 23 years of hockey will never forget this year we the year as an adult I can truly appreciate this!

I'm a TB Lightning fan but I'm also a hockey fan... congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche and their fans.

For us Habs fan there’s a lot of comfort in knowing Lekky scores the gwg. Grats Avs!

The Avalanche went from a piss poor 48 point season in 2016-17 to beating the back-to-back champs 5 years later. This is a really inspiring win. Congrats and savor this win! It is nothing short of being well earned.

Congrats to the Avs. We’ll deserved! Nothing shows „we want this“ more than such a feisty MacKinnon. To Tampa: hold your heads high! Hell of a team!

Congrats Avs!! They played their hearts out, great job. Definitely deserved it. Great job to both teams tbh. One hell of a game

Four shots for TB in the 3rd. Suffocating by the Avs. Great job

...for EJ. You can always come back from dark times.. he kept getting hit and knocked down these 14 years and just kept getting up and refused to quit. Thought he would retire last year and then gets to hoist the cup. His interview with the local station was incredible. Way to go EJ and all the ones who wouldn't quit. Never give up.

Bolts fan here; congratulations Avalanche.

My oh my, Lehkonen’s value has tripled during this playoff

That was an incredibly dominant third period for the Av’s given the circumstances. Their road play (especially when the other team is on the brink) has been phenomenal all playoffs and they definitely delivered here.

I was a lil kid at the bowling alley on my dad's league watching them win the Stanley Cup in 01 & fell in love with the team, the colors, the logo. Nothing but respect to the Bolts y'all made the Avs work hard for it as we knew ya would. Seeing Landy, EJ, MacKinnon & everyone else skate with the trophy & team pic was amazing. All The Small Things finally paid off & now We Are The Champions. Let's Go Avalanche!!! WOO WOO!!! ❄️🏆❄️

Lehkonen wins it man, so happy for him… he was one of my favorites on the habs

Congrats from a Swiss hockey fan who grew up with a poster of David Aebischer lifting the cup right above my bed. Great team effort, what a season.

Such a good call by Cuthbert at the end… as an Avs fan I wish we had this broadcast for the big moment here in the US

Congratulations to the 2021-22 Colorado Avalanche on this Stanley Cup win. They're one of the fastest teams I've seen in ages.

What a year for a Finnish hockey. Lehkonen and Rantanen winning was the icing on the cake.

Mikko Lehtonen with yet another series winning goal

This was great - first time watcher and it was awesome to watch this sport from South Africa. Love the physicality and speed of it.

Great year for Finland and Finnish hockey. World Championship, Olympic Gold and then a Finnish player scored the Stanley Cup winning goal. Tampa is a tough team to beat but it was well deserved Cup for the Avs. Great playoffs.

Great series. This is the third cup I’ve seen raised by the Colorado Avalanche. There was a time when we thought we could do it every year but we know that hockey doesn’t work that way. Big thanks to Super Joe Sakic for putting together a beauty of a team. Heck, let’s go for another one! Go Avalanche!

Been keeping an eye on the Avalanche roster develop for 7 years now. It's been crazy watching them gradually improve into the powerhouse they put together this year. Bolts played well, but Colorado earned the hell out of that Cup!!! Grats Avs, much love from Chicago!

No matter what team wins I love watching the players celebrate with their families because behind each player there are countless people supporting them.

The best finals I’ve seen. Incredibly high quality hockey.

Great to see Landeskog finaly get his Stanley cup 💪💪 well deserved

Tampa may have lost, but I wonder how Matt "I want playoff hockey" Duchene is feeling right about now

GO AVS. We're so proud of this team back here in Pueblo Colorado.

16 wins boys. Great game for Darcy. Proud of this group. Especially Bednar. Fantastic work.

From a lifelong Bolts fan, well deserved Avs and enjoy the summer. See you all next season!

Kuemper literally pushing skaters away so he could find his goalie buddy to hug! How to know you have an amazingly awesome goaltending duo!

I'm a die-hard TB fan. Colorado absolutely deserved, and earned this. Dynasties can't last forever, and Colorado should be SUPER proud of themselves! Very good series, Avs, enjoy the Cup 👍

New York Rangers fan congratulates Colorado Avs! Respect for your Performance!

Better team won, and didn’t need an “altitude advantage” to do it. Congrats champs 🏆

Avs did something we couldn't congrats Colorado was rooting for you guys to do it! Enjoy the cup!!!

Congrats to the avs from a wings fan! Y’all deserved it. For the lightning, y’all did well. What you guys have done in this salary cap era is beyond impressive! It’s just that you had Perry. But that was the dream series and it happened and it didn’t disappoint. Great hockey!

OK, now that the Avs have won, I can let go of my resentment towards Kucherov for his classless drunk comments of last year after eliminating the Habs. And it's Lekhonen, who was with the Habs last year, and who scored the goal that allowed Montreal to get to the finals against Tampa, who has the game winning goal. Double satisfaction ! It will be a great Summer !

Congrats to the Avs on winning the cup. Also congrats to Perry for becoming a 3-peat Stanley cup runner-up!

Big Avalanche fan and man it has been since 2001. When they last won the Stanley Cup 21 years. Congratulations AVS.

Felt awesome watching Mackinnon win it as a Mooseheads fan

Congrats to the Avs, they were the best team to represent the west and they didn`t disappoint.

Awesome, enjoyed the whole run. The Colorado community needed this!!

This is truly surreal. I remember watching the Avalanche win the 2001 cup with my father, I was 13 years old. Here we are 21 years later and I got to watch the Avalanche win the 2022 cup at age 34 with my 2 girls. What more could you ask for in life? Congrats Avalanche!!! Great series, Lightning!! You did NOT make it easy!

What a game from Byram. He got better as the playoffs went along.

Such worthy winners! Long live the Avalanche! ❤ Welcome to the Stanley Cup winner club Landeskog and Burakovsky. All the Swedish fans are extra proud 🇸🇪

as a montreal fan i can confidently say that Lekhonen was worth the 1st round pick :P we're gonna miss him alot such a good hard working player

This victory by the Colorado Avalanche is for the fans who have stuck with the team through thick and thin. It was literally the Avs versus everyone. The media, other fanbases, haters and trolls constantly attempted the Avs to doubt themselves. From "Now, they are facing a real goalie" to "Mackinnon doesn't come through when it matters", the Avs silenced their critics with their vision and resilience. The road to the cup was challenging. Injuries was always a factor. Flaws kept re-surfacing. Despite all these challenges, the team prevailed. Here are some notable moments of the season: - Starting the season with a 4-6 record. - Losing to Columbus in a home and home series in the same fashion: giving up the lead in the third period. - Outscoring their opponents 36 to 15 in their six game winning streak (November 11th-24th, 2021). - Losing embarrassingly to the Leafs 8-3 with Johansson behind the net. He was later waived in the season. - Losing to Ottawa in OT when the Senators held the worst record in the NHL. - Reminded the Leafs who they are after giving up a 4-1 lead to the Avs and losing in overtime. - Set a NHL record in points for the month of January (15-0-1). - Kuemper went on a 4 month stretch where his ERA declined consistently. - Set a franchise home winning streak record with 18. - First loss when scoring first on March 8th, 2022. Lost to the Devils after blowing a 3-0 lead. - Gabriel Landeskog became a Jet killer with 7 goals and 1 assist in 2 games. He had hat tricks in both of those games. - In the trade deadline, Joe Sakic made his move by acquiring Josh Manson, Andrew Cogliano, Nico Sturm and Artturi Lehkonen. - Cale Makar roasted the Predators in the first round of the playoffs with 10 pts in a 4 game sweep. - Nazem Kadri lives rent free in the Enterprise Center when he scored a hat trick in game 4 against the St. Louis Blues. This was after he received death threats in social media. - Darren Helm helps overcome the Avs' demons that has plagued them for the last 3 years by scoring the series clinching goal on the road against the Blues with less than 6 seconds to go. - The bottom six, led by JT Compher, torches the Oilers in special teams and forechecking. - After Kuemper suffers an upper body injury, Pavel Francouz came through in the clutch as he helped the Avs sweep the Oilers. This includes a dominant game 2 shutout. - Artturi Lehkonen sends his team to the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive year by scoring the conference winning goal in OT against Edmonton. - Andre Burakovsky's experience against the Lightning comes to play as he helps lift the Avs with an OT goal in game 1. - The Avs destroys the Lightning with a 7-0 win in game 2 and credits Kuemper with his first playoff shutout for the season. - Cale Makar scores a SHG and PPG in the same period in game 2 against Tampa Bay. - Kadri's redemption tour continues as he scores the OT goal in game 4 against the Lightning. This was his first Stanley Cup game after he came back from a thumb injury he suffered from Evander Kane. - Lehkonen scores the Stanley Cup winning goal to gives the Avs a 4-2 series win. It was a very memorable year, Avs fans. We may have differences on how we want the team to improve. However, it is not enough to divide us because we have a common goal. It is to see the Avs win the Stanley Cup. It doesn't matter how it is done as long as they find the way. They found that path yesterday. Enjoy your summer, Avs fans. I know I will

Absolutely deserved. It´s absolutely remarkable feeling being Avs fan for almost 25 years and see them winning. Remaining only team in nhl who has more than 1 stanley cup and never loss in finals.

two teams with all kinds of heart and determination, that is what it takes to be here and win the cup. In hockey talent ain't enough alone you gotta want it. And any team that finally wins the cup has spent a few years learning determination and heart, Avs absolutely deserve this. too bad that in a series like this that someone has to lose. just good good hockey. thank you to both teams for a great series and totally enjoyable hockey.

I'm glad Newhook has a cup now. He was great this season after being brought up because of injuries. He's got a bright future ahead of him

Avs fan here and this was an epic series no matter how you look at it. A great moment tonight. Was there for 96 and 2001 in person. Stick taps to Tampa for a great series and they didn’t go down without a fight. How fitting that it was Lehkonen who got the game winning goal against the Bolts, just less than a year after losing to them. So many stories here and just love the great game of hockey so much.

Congratulations Avalanche for winning the cup! Go Lekke! Great acquisition in the short term. He made a difference in the playoffs and scored the Stanley Cup winning goal!

Over the moon to see my Avs bringing home the cup after so long. This year's team was absolutely outstanding to watch. They truly won the cup how it was meant to be done. That said, to the Lightning, you definitely did not make it an easy win, and you made them earn it. A hell of a series for sure.

Let’s go Avs!!! What an amazing moment, this team has truly been through so much since the last time we won it all and it’s been such an incredible ride. Hats off to the Lightning who played with so much heart this series. Gonna be savoring this moment for years to come!! 👏🏻🎉

I love watching the players each get the cup. It's so epic ,you can feel the magnitude of what that trophy represents. I especially like experiencing a players first cup after years of trying and the probability of retiring without winning one, then the unbridled joy that can't be matched in any other team sport.

The Lightning really only had FOUR shots on goal in the 3rd?? That was incredible defense by the Avs.

as a Leafs fan happy to see Nazem Kadri get his first cup... and grats Colorado, you have a great team and played with a lot of heart

That's three Cups in three attempts for the Avalanche franchise!

Tampa finally met their match. Glad it was at the hands of one of the best teams out there, and glad it was competitive all around. Lots to be proud of for both teams!

Thank you Lightnings for the great season and playoff games! Avalanches congratulations, you really deserve to be the winners of 2022!

This was an amazing series! One of the BEST finals series I've ever watched, sure the officialing could have been better but overall this was so fun to watch, both teams desplayed amazing preformance and I couldn't ask for a better game 6. Congrats Av's you deserve it!

10 come back wins, TEN and two were in the Cup Finals. What a resilient bunch, no quit in them! GO AVS GO!!!

Congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche on winning the 2022 Stanley Cup!!! I understand that this is the third Stanley Cup that the Avalanche have won. I wanted Colorado to win in this series, as the Tampa Bay Lightning have had their fair share of Stanley Cup success.

Congrats avalanche . U destroyed my Oilers and u deserved lord Stanley awesome team awesome job

Whatta year for Finnish ice hockey,. Olympic gold, World champion and now the Finnish player scored the winning goal to win Stanley Cup.

So proud of my man Gabriel Landeskog, not easy to become a nhl captain as a 19 year old Swede but he proved us he could. What an amazing playoff in general by the Av's. Thanks yall for a great season see you next year!

There better be a Steve’s dang it’s this week and Aube-Kubel dropping and denting the Stanley Cup better be in it

Congrats to the Avs, Tampa; you guys are legends, hold your head high

So happy for the Avalanche, and for Kadri. great season .. and every series was fun to watch

I'm a die hard red wings fan but man.. It's been a joy watching this series. Makar is crazy. Hands down the most interesting player i've seen in my lifetime.

Oh my Congrats Avs. Good fight Tampa I am going to miss this series all summer long Thanks to all players gave me the pleasure of watching hockey this season.

This team made me follow the NHL a couple of years ago when the Landy-Mack-Moose line was put together. Hasn't been easy, but sure feels good now! And after 5 years of waiting the cup comes back to Finland! Congratz guys!

Something special may be coming Colorado's way, team is young 🤔 Go Avs!!!!

Awesome playoffs, awesome finals. All respect to both teams, all lines and every invidual. I'am happy that we got many new names to stanley cup, and can't wait to see the battle and hunger in next seasons games.

When it came down to hockey. Avs were the better team.

Congrats AVS well deserved from a Bolts fan. I know this feeling we've been spoiled so enjoy! Just wished we had Point healthy!!!! His speed and IQ was missed but nevertheless well deserved......

Great series, As a swede I'm happy for Landeskog, he deserves it, happy for Burakovsky and the finns too..

As a habs fan, I am very proud of Lehkonen. Big upgrade from a 3rd liner to playing with MacKinnon. Congrats Avs!!

Well done Avs. You are BEASTS.

Congratulations to Avs, what a power house. Tampa was out played. Speed and agility, Avs are the New Champions 🏆. The media kept telling me tampa this tampa that. All those great players. You showed them who you really are the BEST.

Im so proud of them..well done you avs

Congrats Avs and their fans. What an awesome season. Ever since I saw MacKinnon at juniors winning the Memorial Cup, you knew he had the clutch gene. That came through tonight. And no words for Makar. We are blessed as hockey fans right now. When you have a guy (McDavid) being compared to Gretzky/Lemieux and another (Makar) to Orr, these are wonderful times. See y'all next season.

Thank you Avs for bringing the cup back to the west. You are the best!

Remember how Tampa and Rangers fans were convinced Avs would get swept in the finals... Lol, okay.

"THE DYNASTY COMES TO AN END". Best thing ever said about the Lightning.

Love it both teams played their hearts out, congrats Aves

What a well deserved win. Not even an Avs fan, and I’m unbelievably proud of this team. Enjoy it Avs fans!!!

From incredible lows of 60 loss seasons to incredible highs of winning it all. Congrats kingslayers, there is a new team on the throne!

Toronto reporting in - Congrats Avs you earned it 100% oh and just how do you think we feel giving you Kadri haha now he has a cup title. Oh man I'm so thankful you guys pulled it off.

Good series. The Avs have a powerful team with an all star defenseman. I’m happy for Kadri as well. A long journey for him and finally redemption

Stentor of Spart im sure you're not happy tonight. But thats what makes me so very happy. Avalanche were dominate all regular and post season. Lots of doubt from the outside and even fans from within at different moments. They've done it. The cup is theirs. So unreal rn. Go Avs Go!

3:27 Rantanen and Lehkonen skating nicely in sync

We won the cup. We won the cup. We won the cup.

Good to see Lehkonen come out big and seize the cup!

Life long Canadian Avs fan never lose sight of the true goal and now we’re STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS what a year lets do this again next year

Congrats to the Avs and all its fans!! This whole season has been a true treat to watch and you guys deserve all the hardware! The progress you guys have made in the past 5 years should be a model to EVERY team on how to rebuild the right way and you guys will be at the top of the league for a while with all these young studs. Hope we can get a little ‘96 rematch going in the near future 🙌

Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! You did it ! you are the champions!

Well deserved Avs !! Been the the team throughout the season 🙌 🏆

Man Kemper stepped up tonight he stood his ground didn’t let the first goal shake him could have easily folded and let his guard down but he didn’t

Congrats, Avs. The best team won. For Tampa, what a great run it’s been. With their core still in tact and playing in their prime, there’s no reason to think that they can’t be back next year and try to win three Cups in four years.
