correction: winning in overtime

Man... I miss Lehky so bad as a habs fan. We really did get a very good return on investement but holy smokes is that guy usefull to a team. I wish him the best and im now a fan of the Avs. Go Avs Go!

As an Avs fan Lehkonen is quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch. Always under the radar but is clutch af. Thanks Habs!!

TOO MANY AVALANCHE ON THE ICE!!!

Give me 20 Lehkonen's and I'll win 20 cups in a row.

we just call it Football, all the rest of the Footballs get adjectives.

Lord Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in all of sports.

May I suggest… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8B-jLmlnZ3dZmQ.html

Welcome to the club man. There's nothing in the world like playoff hockey.

good choice of team to watch, now its the broncs turn. Go Colorado!

Hopefully he is on his honeymoon, but I hope he is enjoying what he can of the games...

Matches... 😉

If he does this I'll laugh

I definitely knew this was a better team. Sakics been building this for a while, and not only did he pick up guys to help with physicality, but the team is mostly healthy. Not stuck with 3rd string goalie and half the team being AHL players

You forgot Manson, Cogliano, and Lekhonen who have honestly been completely heroic

Reminds me of the Warriors with all the key contributing role players flanking the big 3 Steph, Klay and Dray!

@@rollblackcoal2996 I didnt forget them, I said then the trade deadline...Strum was part of that too, and imagine that a guy that has been a healthy scratch generating that stupid bad Cagliano goal to get the AVS to ot

They don't call him Super Joe for nothin

Look at Makar, unbelievable: Conn Smythe material for sure! I have never seen such powerful graceful skaters as Makar and Mackinnon!!

@@joeygrossbeak4092 Yeah and they are somehow on the same team haha

Because Tampas players were clearly changing while Colorado’s was not. Doesn’t take a genius

@@rileysevern1968 remember the islanders game?

Also Mackinnon was within 5 feet and going to the bench. Not only did he have nothing to do with the play, but he was within the legal parameters of a line change.

@@factbeaglesarebest Refs swallowed the whistles in the third period, someone would of had to murder someone to get a call lol

@@DorianHolmesGuitar That's playoff hockey, no blood no foul.

Yeah and his mask came off, which in every other situation except the tampa bay lightning, would be an immediate whistle.

Yep. I did. It was really quick. But his stick definitely struck Kuemper's mask.

I thought I was the only one to see it. I'd love to see what Toronto would have ruled if that was challenged.

The puck hitting Kuemper in the chin area of the mask is what knocked the mask off (stretched the straps which popped the buttons).

@@jsquared1013 I’m seeing the stick hitting the neck/strap and the puck in the forehead.

Not how the rule works. The oncoming player can't get on the ice until the exiting player is within 5 feet (nothing to do with when the entering player "joins the play", he cannot be on the ice until the exiting player is near the bench. The clause about playing the puck or the body is that *neither* can do so until the exiting player is completely off the ice). Kadri was on the ice while MacKinnon was still deep in the offensive zone. NHL rule is explicit about the goalie mask: if the mask comes off and the attacking team is in the midst of a goalscoring opportunity, no whistle. (The puck knocked Kuemper's mask off; the impact on the chin area stretched the straps which caused the buttons to pop off).

Not to mention their finals opponents. Dallas and Montreal. Two teams that rely on flippin it towards the net and hoping for shin pad goals. They beat 2 offensively challenged snooze fest teams, that made it there riding pure luck, smoke, and mirrors. Real impressive.

@@pale_saint Yeah, they sure weren't beating world class teams.

I read your quotes in pure Scottish dialect in my head 😂😂😂 I am however half Scottish too 😂

The two Tampa Bay players made legal line changes, as they were within 5 feet of the bench when their replacements came on. That's within the rules. Kadri came on when MacKinnon was still between the faceoff circles. Not even close. Second, the puck is what knocked Kuemper's mask off, and the NHL rule is explicit: the play is not stopped if the attacking team is in the middle of a goalscoring opportunity. Third, that called-off goal in Game 3 was 100% conclusive, you can see white between the puck and the blueline on multiple camera angles. It doesn't matter if it's 1 mm or 1 meter, out is out. (Note to preempt the incoming ad-hominems: I'm not a TB fan and I expect the Avs to win).

@@hockeygod8751 do you smoke crack rocks?

@@hockeygod8751 When u are the best team in the league, u win even with bad refs. Refs are not an excuse at this point.

​@@hockeygod8751 The Avalanche are BURYING the bolts, if you want to see some dead tampa bodies mr. Al just come back after then snow melts!!

@@hockeygod8751 lol I see retardation is a real thing. Thanks for showing us

@@hockeygod8751 😂cry

You heard wrong.

Except Mackinnon was within a legal line change. He was out of the play on the way to the bench within 5 feet. These changes happen all the time.

@@factbeaglesarebest false. MacKinnon was practically between the faceoff circles when Kadri came on. Not even close to legal. The rule states that the entering player can't get onto the ice until the exiting player is within 5 feet (not your pulled-from-thin-air interpretation), and that neither can play the puck or the body until the exiting player is off the ice. They didn't meet any of the requirements for a legal line change.

How about we take away the Bolts’ cup from last year and restart the ECF game 7 against the Islanders with NYI on the PP since the Bolts scored the GWG with 7 on the ice? The Bolts lived by the sword, now they died by the sword.
