I can never be happy for the Avalanche, I still have a very bitter taste in my mouth about how that franchise came to be and the tremendous advantages its fanbase was handed from the get-go that had effects well after their earliest years. But at this point, after that team has gone through a full teardown and rebuilt into a dominant force, it's mostly just embarrassing for our own team that we've been fully lapped over the last few years by yet another team.
In other words: f*** the Avs and wish our team had the same level of success as them.
That said short term memory issues seems to run rampant around here given how Kadri headshotted a Sedin in the past and how many Avs fans have ridiculed Hughes over these years.
Indeed, I envy what Sakic has done for that franchise as a player and an executive. They need to build his statue in Denver.
Overall, I am not pissed about the Avs winning, but nor am I happy about it. Either team winning makes no difference.
I am just happy that the off-season has started and looking forward to what the new management does for our team.
