Anyone following hockey?

[Ricboff]

for me, TB's best period in this series.Great period

- After scoring , basically put 3 guys back, lol --its the 1st period. NOT ONE odd man rush allowed.. .......and no room in the middle of the ice
-uncharacteristic Col giveaways in their own end ...wtf was that MacKinnon...is he pressing?......and giving the blueline so easily .........

Col lucky to be down only by 1. Bednar's got a few words to say in that dressing room id imagine

 

[Ricboff]

'..and giving the blueline so easily .'


see Hedman's goal lol

 

[Ricboff]

bury em


KADRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ricboff]

Lord Stanley is in the building, Ball Arena, Denver ,Colorado ...............place will b a rockin'.......



over the last 22 years 5 defensemen have won The Conn Smythe;

S Stevens (at age 36)
N Lidstrom (32)
S Niedermayer (34)
D Keith (32)
V Hedman (30)

Cale Makar is 23 yrs old. Only one player has ever won the award at an earlier age . Bobby Orr at 22 (he also won the Norris that yr, Orr won 8 straight Norris Trophies, lol)

Thanks for posting. I'm taking Makar. Mackinnon only 2 points in the finals so far. McDavid, Makar 1a, 1b best players right now!

He's up to -600, just gotta finish the job

 

[Ricboff]

in the last game Makar played pretty much played half the game. Keep in mind this is a guy who bolts up front (like having a 4th foward) , not just hanging back .

someone tell Bednar this aint a video game

 

[Tuesday]

Yeah thinking Colorado gets it done tonight too especially since Point Cerelli and Cernak are out...

 

[exploited17]

Congrats lol

 

[vincentvega]

Any Stanley Cup winner deserves one. Winning 16 games to get it over the top is not going to happen by accident. And winning it in 20 games, doubly cool. Congrats to Colorado

1-0 nhl for season

Easy Money Makar

 

[SheriffJoe]

Makar and Hedman pretty much solidifes these two teams as the best in the NHL for years to come.

Pick a random year... You cannot win a cup without a stud on the blueline...Makar, Hedman, Doughty, Keith etc.

 

[METFAN]

ISLANDERS had Denis Potvin,OILERS Paul Coffey and RES WINGS Niklas Lindstrom. Even the 1994 Rangers had Brian Leetch.

MAKAR was unreal at both ends of the ice. He made Hedmann look like he was skating in mud

 

[Ricboff]

the best team won ...shut her down in the 3rd period, not even close . That was very impressive


21 yrs ago J Sakic as Captain led the Avalanche to glory. And now as a GM. The late pieces ; Sturm, Cogliano, Manson, Lehkonen

congratulations to Bednar

Landeskog becomes the 2nd Swedish-born player with the 'C' on his jersey to hoist Lord Stanley.

Fuckin' Makar at 23 wins the Norris and the Conn Smythe --- he joins these two to have won both awards in the same yr : Lidstrom, Orr

Bowen was fantastic in game 6, holy shit he's only 21,haha .no way they they keep this team intact over time .salary cap will do its thing

Cole Harbour is a small town in the province of Nova Scotia. The population is under 100,000 . What are the odds and TWO elite NHL forwards would have come from there.?..., both to Hoist Lord Stanley -- N MacKinnon and S Crosby.

“I’ve been the drunkest guy at two of his, so he better be the drunkest guy at mine.” - Nathan MacKinnon
on having another Stanley Cup day in Cole Harbour with Sidney Crosby.

Haha, Hedman a different type of dee than Makar ,but your statement is a testament to cale's crazy skill sets -he makes fellow elite dee look sub par .Cale is an outlier - a combination of freakish skating skills ,can process at high speeds .

He's the first player to have won all of these :
Hoby baker
Calder
Norris
Conn Smythe

Grant it ,guess his parents wanted him to get a free education at UMass ,just in case ? Lol . ....he completely turned basement dwelling UMass around

Hope he stays grounded .

Crosby made MacKinnon into the player he's become.

 

[Tuesday]

Crosby made MacKinnon into the player he's become.

Yeah I like how McKinnon said right after they won that he is excited to have his name on the Cup near to his idol Sidney Crosby.

 

[Ricboff]

Crosby made MacKinnon into the player he's become.

great to have a mentor in any walk of life. No new grad has wisdom- time and people around us . Sid had Mario. Sid had his issues as a youngster , whining to refs, and very reactive to players trying to get under his skin. Tremendous growth with Sid .

btw the accolades keep coming in for Makar.Big words from Wayne;

“The closest player we’ve ever seen offensively and defensively that can make an impact on the game that much — probably Bobby Orr,” Gretzky said of Makar on TNT. “We’ve got to go all the way back to Bobby Orr.”

 

[REDEYE]

Good to see the Cup playoffs back on major markets where they belong.. The sport delivers every time.
