Interesting that he said that he was "this close" to not coming back this season. Wonder if he'll consider LTIRetiring now with a cup in the bag.

He's 34. He could just retire and his entire cap hit would be gone. Avs still have to pay him, I believe, but cap hit would be gone.

If he retires he doesn't get paid. Could be an under the table front office deal, but the only way that works is if he LTIRetired.

Uh Nate, you know I know you're a gamer and uh, and all this and uh you know I'm just thinking maybe out loud as far as in your shoes right now it's like alright we've done all the things we can do we've done all the game planning we can do maybe, maybe just f*** it we'll just go in next year and not think that anymore and just win this thing when we don't think so much is that uh am I on the right path at all with this like maybe you just guys think a little too much?

Has this ever happened before? I mean, that´s something. Winning Superbowl and Stanley Cup in the same year...... That man´s gonna be hated by many owners in the NFL and NHL.....

Amazing, been following this team half my life. Forsberg and Landeskog the main Swedish connections for me (no, not Nemeth even though I thoroughly enjoyed it). *LoL* I have been lucky with my two favorit Swedish players all time playing for the same NHL team I guess. (Mikael Renberg was another favorit but that's another story.) Having said for years that Landeskog is the best Swedish Captain all time even though he didn't win until now. Since Lidstrom and Sundin are gods in Sweden not many agreed but I couldn't care less (I'm the true expert after all).

Super impressed by Sakic too who finally got it right with the final peaces.

(I do have relatives in Denver too but it's very, very distant... they are not aware of me for sure *LoL*.
Judith LaVoine Swenson got married with a Rosenberg and moved from Minnesota to Denver area, Boulder county about 100 years ago and , it's all I know.)

I’m so happy for ej, Landy and Mack and the rest of the boys what a great run this year was!

 

[The Kingslayer]

@Sea Eagles congrats. You did it.

 

[Kariya 9]

Congrats Avs fans. Was super happy for Manson and Cogliano.

 

[Fighter]

Congrats Avs, hell of a run and hell of a team!

 

[The Kingslayer]

They cant lose this dude.

I’m so happy for ej, Landy and Mack and the rest of the boys what a great run this year was!

This one feels extra special because it was an Avs built team no Quebec drafted players or anything.

Hahaha tremendous. Poor Cale over there probably used to this.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Lol I love that kid. Avs have another great one in Bo. Also, it felt like he never left the ice tonight. It honestly felt like he was getting double shifted out there.

 

[KingSizeKirby]

Landy is my 2nd favorite player behind joe sakic. But I gotta say ej is definitely 3. Listening to him talk tonight and celebrate. He so well spoken and humble and with all the hard work I just love him. Hope he retires an Av!
