Post-Game Talk: The Colorado Avalanche wins the Stanley Cup!

[Ararana]

When do the championship ring designs usually release? Last time the Avs won I was too young to care about the rings.

This time around I'm hitting the web hard for replicas.

The Lighting and the bloose released theirs in October.

Rewatching the Edmonton series, it's pretty funny how much the Avs were willing to let Barrie shoot at the point to keep coverage on McDavid/Drai. They didn't respect that shot at all.

Cool, cool. But what's the cabinet?

Mortal Kombat Arcade 1up cabinet. Been meaning to mod it to have a ton of arcade games but haven’t found the time yet

Did the Avs really won the cup or was all that just a dream?

Awesome. Been window shopping some 1up cabinets for a while, but I might have to pull the trigger on the MvC2 one they just announced

What is going to be fun is media sucking Avs balls all year long because they are the SC champs.

That and some leeway from the refs.

It may surprise a bunch of you to find out I'm not one for pomp and circumstance. Even though a lot of you know me for tut-tutting your impossibly dour natures and unfounded pessimism all season, I'm not one for celebration normally. Expectations are expectations and the Avs came in with a heaven burden this year and rightfully so. Personally, the Vegas debacle last year hurt as much as the '02 WCF. The only two series I still sometimes have nightmares about; there have been lots of other disappoints since '95, those just stick out.

That being said, I love this compilation for the simple fact all three Cup Championship moments are included. Being extremely bored at work yesterday, as we are all wont to do, I was thinking about the celebration and monologue that I liked the best. Surprise, surprise, I really like them all.

Lets go, Avalanche.





"The Coloraaaaaadoooo Avalanche...have won the Stanley Cup!"

"After 22 years!....Raymond Bourque!"

"The dynasty will be denied. A new legacy begins. They've reached the summit!"*
(They did it! They did it!)


*As an aside, I'm American and a resident of Denver. As much of a fan that I am I just recently heard the SN call (sorry Canada, it wasn't intentional). I'm sorry I missed it, Cuthbert was a poet.

They're still in the second round.

Since the '67 expansion only 5 teams have beaten the defending SC champions in the SCF and the Avs are the only team to do it twice.

´76 Montreal
´84 Edmonton
´00 New Jersey
´01 Colorado
´09 Pittsburg
´22 Colorado

Impressive.

 

[Metallo]

Also, in that same time frame, only these teams had to beat the SC Champions in their SC runs:

'71 Montreal
'97 Detroit
'02 Detroit
'13 Chicago
'14 Los Angeles
'18 Washington

SCF Game 2 in on NHLN right now. Man, what an ass kicking. Perry is a true POS on the ice.

He's a POS but, kinda like Claude LeMieux, a POS you would love to have playing on your team rather than against your team. Besides being good for 40ish points last season he was positive (51.4) CF% and had a 59.68 GF%. Hate him all you want, but he has always been a good hockey player and even in his age has adapted his game to be effective as a bottom six winger. I mean, all that plus he gets under opponents skin and only costs a mil? That was a good buy by Tampa.

Hossa went through something similar. *LOL* But yeah, that is quite the record and I'm not going to lie and say I didn't laugh about it when we did that to him.

Not only did we go to that game, but we saw him at Starbucks that morning. Man, I was ridin' high that night

Did he try and cheapshot your frappuccino?
