I'm a Bruins fan. But if you Love Hockey it honestly doesn't matter who lifts the cup. It is Amazing to see the hard work these boys have put into winning this trophy. CONGRATULATIONS COLORADO!!!!!
I’m right there with ya! I’m a Penguin fan and while I’ve loved seeing them succeed in past years! Seeing Ovechkin and numerous vets get that cup is an awesome feeling for anyone! Love seeing others teams / underdogs bring the cup home!
Dubas is getting all worked up replaying this over and over again. He finally goes into his liquor cabinet and wasted. He stumbles into the kitchen and savagely beats his wife while calling her Kadri.
I’m surprised that many Tampa fans stuck around for the Ceremony. Also, I’m very happy for Nazem Kadri, he was not too happy about the trade that saw him leave Toronto, but I’m sure now he’s a very happy lad! Congrats Avalanche!
I'm a firm believer that if you're at the game where the cup is awarded, you stay to watch the ceremony even if the team you cheer for doesnt win. Not many people get to see it happen in person
@@AlphaPlus9 I wouldn't say I'm happy, moreso it's just a rare experience to see it happen and I think the team who won it, as well the the tradition/moment deserve the respect. No matter who wins at the end of the series, they deserve that cup. Happy it was here in Tampa for as long as it was.
Shows the fans of hockey Tampa are ive seen plenty of cup wins on the road and the home teams fans usually don’t stick around but a lot of Tampa fans did
Seeing Landy and Johnson hoist the cup brought tears to my eyes. I love this team so much, those two have been through a lot with this team. Congrats Avs!

Hopefully y'all can get past the 2nd round again next year and we'll probably see you again. Better hope half our roster is injured again. P.s. maybe now your team can afford skates that don't fall apart. But if they do. At least you know the refs will help your guy off the ice instead of doing his job 🤷🏻♂️ Edit: Sorry. Going 2/3 in Stanley cup finals 👍
I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!! Our Avs did it, first time in 21 years and third time ever!!! The fact that my favorite player of all time, Joe Sakic has been a huge part of all three is just incredible. Way to go Avs!!!!!!!
As a Montréal Canadiens fan, I can't be happier for Lehkonen. He was such an underrated player in Montreal, and the Avs really tapped in his versatility. One of the best defensive player in the game. And he got the GWG, again!
seeing players who didnt really get to play all that much in the playoffs hoist the cup is such a gem, they worked hard all season for this moment, even though they didnt have much playing time of recent, they came out here knowing all their hard work pay off from the regular season, number 56 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As a tampa fan, this was the matchup of my dreams. Congratulations colorado, a worthy opponent and a beautiful series! Extremely proud of our lightning for everything, bringing us to the 3rd sc finals appearance. Nothing like nhl playoffs 🤍
Congratulation Avalanche and Avs fans. You guys deserve this. This series was a hard and intense battle. It was fun having the cup for 2 straight years. Enjoy this time with the cup and congratulations again. Sincerely, Lightning fan
Love this team I have been a fan since the 1997 my boy was on a hockey team. So we would watch the Avalanche and we got hooked. Congratulations to a well deserved team 🏆
@@MegaSmarterthanyou Yeah he’s not Gretzky obviously, but name me another guy that played and won, and stayed loyal to the same team and won one as an executive? I’m sure there’s some, but it’s rare.
First of all, commiserations to the Lightning - what an outstanding achievement to make 3 successive S/C Final appearances, they should be commended and feel very proud, fought a very tough series, especially after the 7-0 loss. As an Avs fan, I remember getting up REAL early in the UK to watch game 7, 2001. I was recording it and lived in hope, I even did affirmations the night before writing up "Colorado Avs to win the Stanley Cup" 15 times! I got up with a startle that morning and just felt compelled to get up and watch it, had to be real quiet as my folks were still asleep etc. I watched on with awe as one Mr. Ray Borque lifted the cup and the immense feelings of emotion/elation in that moment...it was so incredible - the whole gravitas of it and what it meant to Ray etc, it was so profound, even from afar and never having been to a hockey game and lived the true feel of it all. But nonetheless I basked in the glow of the glory that day and 21 years later, I'm reminded just how good it all feels again. Congrats Colorado - we share the same 'abbreviated' name, and that's how my love for this hockey club was born, back in 1997 and a Playstation game called "NHL 98" by EA Sports, just by sheer coincidence or maybe not (!), having known very little about pro Ice Hockey before that. And here we are, some 25 years on and my love for the organization is still as apparent. Now I live as a Citizen of Australia, my adored and adopted country of non-birth and we get to witness this moment, albeit in differing circumstances...but I'm reminded of THOSE feelings all over again, and how much joy these triumphs can bring. Well done Champs, so very well done, from the billabonging depths of Australia, we say "thanks" and "bravo", enjoy bringing the cup back to Denver! You did it...woooooooooooooo!!! :D
This is super cool to read. I was born and raised in Boulder Colorado but started following the avs 4-5 years ago. Im in my first year of College in Oregon but coming back to watch them win has been awesome. Super cool to see old fans like you!

So proud of my man Gabriel Landeskog, not easy to become a nhl captain as a 19 year old Swede but he proved us he could. What an amazing playoff in general by the Av's. Thanks yall for a great season see you next year!
Joe Sakic is 100% class, last time they won he didn't take the first lap with the Cup as Captain, instead passed it straight to Ray Bourque. Can't believe it been over two decades. Congrats Avs.
Thank you for everything, boys. I lost my dad last year, who was a diehard Lightning fan.

И Никита с Андреем были достойны третьего кубка, и Валера взял первый трофей заслуженно. Особенно приятно что наш очередной челябинский обладатель Кубка Стэнли. Вытерпел, всё преодолел и победил.
San Jose Fan here, Still upset Tampa took out Florida and Jumbo Joe Thornton, but seeing Colorado and Andrew Cogliano get their Stanley Cup in front of the Tampa crowd makes me feel better.
If it makes you feel better, Avs would’ve washed Florida or any team in the east. They were an absolute wagon this year. Was hoping for a 96 finals rematch though!
I’m happy for Johnson n Johnson. Erik played on some awful Avs teams and never demanded a trade and finally gets rewarded. And Jack, after what his own parents put him through, I’m glad he (maybe) retires a Stanley Cup Champion.
Agreed! The Johnsons went through the most adversity! For Jack, this must be the best feeling of his career after getting traded away from LA, who went on to win a Cup, and getting gutted financially by his parents. Dude deserves this!
Two premier teams battled with everything they had. Colorado’s speed and zone dominance was a level above anything the Lightning had faced. Tampa has nothing to be ashamed of. True warriors with the legacy to prove it. Congrats to the entire Avs organization!

AVS they are building what they have since 2016: D honestly two years ago, or even a year ago, AVS should win the Cup but a coincidence of strange events eliminated them in the 2nd round. Avs they build a team thoughtfully, not like TML who got Tavares who didn't bring anything to the team anyway. Swapping Kadri for Tyson Barrie, Alex Kerfoot was perhaps the stupidest in club history since summer: D. All the best about AVS is either draft players like Mackinnon, Rantanen, Makar, Byram, Landeskog or nowhere wanted Kadri, Burky, Nichushkin + some minor trades like Lehkonen, Toews and they made a team
Классный тренер сколотил такую же команду. И просто поверил в Валеру. Ну а Валерий взял да и не подвёл коуча. Все играли мощно.Неожиданно для лавин,которая постоянно даже в плей-офф не попадала. И от этого всё выглядит очень круто.
No matter what team you cheer for, when a player lifts the Cup in victory, your heart goes out to them. To those who love hockey, this is the dream! Congrats Avs! Dream come true!
I pulled for the Lightning to threepeat, but Kadri gave me a good laugh when he said: "Anyone who thought I was a liability in the Playoffs can kiss my ass!". The Cup went to the team that deserved it!
They set out at the start of the season to win it all, they believed they could, and nothing was gonna stop em, not even the 3 time Stanley cup finalists and repeat champions. Very impressive season start to finish by Colorado. Congrats! Also, very impressive run by Tampa. What’s that, like 4 conference finals in last 6 years, and winning a few times? Hats off to em
Wow! It's been a long time since we've seen a stanley cup champion team that made two sweeps in the playoffs. This is an incredible hard working team and they deserve this win. The moment they swept the oilers, I knew that they just had to win. Go Avs go!
Congrats to Colorado. They deserved this cup. From Mack daddies press conference last year to this cup win, it was an absolute warpath. To Kadri having a dominant season and hoisting a cup and big congrats to Eric Johnston, what he’s been through it’s admirable. Congrats Colorado.
What a season, what a playoffs and what finals, props to the lighting and their organization. But most importantly congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche organization for providing us with one of the most exciting seasons/post-season since their last cup run. From game one to the end of the playoffs, I always believed and knew you guys could FIND A WAY
I was lucky enough a few years back to be in Vegas on vacation and decided to go to Vegas vs. Washington on a whim to see a finals game. Got to watch the cup skated for the first time in-person as a life long hockey fan and it was one of the coolest things ever... despite not being a fan of either team playing. I think any fan of the game has to appreciate moments like this, even when your team doesn't win.
Dude even paused after saying his name because he knew what was coming. 😂 It doesn't quite compare to the days of Bettman giving the speech himself and getting drowned out completely by the deafening chorus of boos, but I'll take it.
Absolutely deserved. It´s absolutely remarkable feeling being Avs fan for almost 25 years and see them winning. Remaining only team in nhl who has more than 1 stanley cup and never loss in finals.
I'm an AVS Fan living in Boston... So happy that the Avs won, I so wished that they did it Friday night in front of their own fans but hey a win is a win !! CONGRATULATIONS AVALANCHE !!!
@@kyerannisbet8895 he is still frusturated as a goalie ik how it feels he is mad at himself because he feels like he didnt play 2 his full potential but he is the best goalie in the world and i feel for him
Darcy Kuemper was the goalie for Minnesota in 13-14 season, Avs lost in the first round in 7 games off a Nino Nideriter game winner, I cried like a little girl. Now the same goalie hoisted the Cup for the Avs and I cried like a little girl. Shame we couldn’t keep him around.
Longtime NY Rangers fan here but Congratulations to the 2021-2022 Stanley Cup Champions, Colorado Avalanche. Well-Deserved. Best team in Hockey the entire year and played very impressive throughout the playoffs. Great job, guys!
I maybe be a Pittsburgh Penguins fan but I'm really fortunate enough to see the Avs win the Stanley Cup and to be honest there defense was just as good as there offense was overall congratulations Colorado Avalanche.
I'm a grown man crying as I'm watching this!! So cool!! Amazing to see all the guys holding it, especially Joe for the 3rd time!! This team could be really good for a while!
Rangers fan here. Big congratz Avs! You did an outstanding job! Well deserved! It's just sad you didn't get to accept the cup back home in Denver. Would be so awesome to see the Avs fan cheering for you during the cermony.
I'm a flames fan and honestly I had a feeling they were gonna win the cup ever since they won 3-0 against us in the regular season. Just the speed and skill was something that I haven't quite seen any other team. They're one hell of a team and I can't think of any team that's more deserving of the cup this year! The flames are a good team but lets be honest they're not Stanley cup material (just yet lol) so the avs very quickly became my number 1 choice in winning the cup and I'm so glad that they did! Congrats avs and their fans the pride and excitement you must be feeling must be incredible! Can't wait to see what happens next season! Stay amazing and classy hockey fans! 👏
@@toddjohnson271 I only wanted Colorado to win so Helm could get his second cup. But I harbor serious dislike for Tampa, always have , they're a great team with accolades an all but still got no love for them.
WOOHOO! Congrats to Colorado :) what a team they have right now! They've fought hard the past few years and shown a lot of heart, it must feel incredible to be the ones to bring back Stanley to Colorado for the first time in 20 years. The first cup lift always brings a tear to my eye, so happy for them :) I'm a Hawks fan(we've fallen a long way sadly) but I've really enjoyed watching the Aves as one of my alternate teams to root for over the past two years, happy to see them take the cup!
I'm a Bruins fan. But if you Love Hockey it honestly doesn't matter who lifts the cup. It is Amazing to see the hard work these boys have put into winning this trophy. CONGRATULATIONS COLORADO!!!!!

Canucks fan. I’ll still remember 2011, but yes I agree with you. The work is incredible and the best players in the world deserve to be celebrated
The Boston Booins
Priceless comment from Kadri. “For all those people that said I was a liability in the playoffs, you can kiss my ass.”
I would say that when he stays on the ice and doesn't get suspended during the postseason, of course he's not a liability! 🤣🤣
He is of Lebanese decent, he's got that fire in his personality.
Dubas is getting all worked up replaying this over and over again. He finally goes into his liquor cabinet and wasted. He stumbles into the kitchen and savagely beats his wife while calling her Kadri.
You can tell he is just an dumb hockey player
How is kadri now
I love you Joe Sakic. I don’t care who knows it. You were a beast of a hockey player and now you’re a beast of a GM.
#19 forever.
I remember being at a game when Joe Sakic scored a hat-trick at home. It was something I'll never forget! I'm so happy for him! 🏆🏒
Seriously, where would the Avs be without him?
Been waiting years for this moment man, so happy for guys like Landy and EJ who have been here for a long time and finally achieved the cup. GO AVS GO

Валера!!! Ты смог!!! Удачи тебе и в дальнейшей карьере. Сбитый лётчик всех не сбитых СБИЛ!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Классный тренер сколотил такую же команду. И просто поверил в Валеру. Ну а Валерий взял да и не подвёл коуча. Все играли мощно.Неожиданно для лавин,которая постоянно даже в плей-офф не попадала. И от этого всё выглядит очень круто.
No matter what team you cheer for, when a player lifts the Cup in victory, your heart goes out to them. To those who love hockey, this is the dream! Congrats Avs! Dream come true!
I pulled for the Lightning to threepeat, but Kadri gave me a good laugh when he said: "Anyone who thought I was a liability in the Playoffs can kiss my ass!". The Cup went to the team that deserved it!
Makar. What a stud!
Hell yeah Nazzer, happy for you buddy.
The most beautiful trophy in all sports! Congratulations Avalanche!
Congratulations to the Avalanches, Joe Sakic and others. You earned it. From a former Quebec City fan.
They set out at the start of the season to win it all, they believed they could, and nothing was gonna stop em, not even the 3 time Stanley cup finalists and repeat champions. Very impressive season start to finish by Colorado. Congrats! Also, very impressive run by Tampa. What’s that, like 4 conference finals in last 6 years, and winning a few times? Hats off to em
Congratulations to the avalanche. They brought it 100% throughout the season and playoffs. Well earned winners 🎉🎉🎉
did it ever feel good to see Nazem raise the cup
Wow! It's been a long time since we've seen a stanley cup champion team that made two sweeps in the playoffs. This is an incredible hard working team and they deserve this win. The moment they swept the oilers, I knew that they just had to win. Go Avs go!
Congrats to Colorado. They deserved this cup. From Mack daddies press conference last year to this cup win, it was an absolute warpath. To Kadri having a dominant season and hoisting a cup and big congrats to Eric Johnston, what he’s been through it’s admirable. Congrats Colorado.
8:50 is my favourite part
😂😂😂 I love him
Who Kadri?
So happy for Gogliano. He must be one very happy camper today. He never gives up & has remained a hard working quality guy.
Damn Colorado sports going crazy. First DU wins in NCAA now Colorado. Congrats Aves
And Mississippi sports. Mississippi state won last years college World Series, and ole miss won this years college World Series.
And the Mammoth won the Lacrosse championship
What a season, what a playoffs and what finals, props to the lighting and their organization. But most importantly congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche organization for providing us with one of the most exciting seasons/post-season since their last cup run. From game one to the end of the playoffs, I always believed and knew you guys could FIND A WAY
Congratulations Colorado!
With love from Russia !
No Ukrainie?
@@drshallow69 What is Ukraine ?
avs fan here, hats off to Tampa for an incredible series...highest level of hockey I've ever seen
They finally did it, you beauties 😭😭😭😭
I was lucky enough a few years back to be in Vegas on vacation and decided to go to Vegas vs. Washington on a whim to see a finals game. Got to watch the cup skated for the first time in-person as a life long hockey fan and it was one of the coolest things ever... despite not being a fan of either team playing. I think any fan of the game has to appreciate moments like this, even when your team doesn't win.
TURN THE LIGHTS OFF, CARRY ME HOME #GoAvsGo
🤡
Turn lighting off carry Cup home
Avs Faithful since 96 threw the ups and downs of this team im proud to say ive seen all 3 hoisted and hope for a few more CONGRATS BOYS WELL DESERVED
The crowd booed when he said Gary Bettman lol
Dude even paused after saying his name because he knew what was coming. 😂
It doesn't quite compare to the days of Bettman giving the speech himself and getting drowned out completely by the deafening chorus of boos, but I'll take it.
SO HAPPY FOR THE AVALANCHES ,JOE SAKIK.AMAZING!!!!
Absolutely deserved. It´s absolutely remarkable feeling being Avs fan for almost 25 years and see them winning. Remaining only team in nhl who has more than 1 stanley cup and never loss in finals.
I'm an AVS Fan living in Boston... So happy that the Avs won, I so wished that they did it Friday night in front of their own fans but hey a win is a win !! CONGRATULATIONS AVALANCHE !!!
Flames fan here but was rooting for avs as they played the playoffs really hard. Congratulations
lol flames fan here aswell was cheering for tampa but the better team won it congrats avs kuemper better resign
🧡🧡🧡 rooting for you guys next year!! Your time is coming!!!
Makar is a Calgary kid and grew up a Flames fan so makes sense to pull for him
@@SF-op5ix thank you
Congratulations Colorado! Loved watching Vasilevsky throw a helmet down the tunnel
cmon man show some respect he is frustrated anyone who loves the bolts would be but congrats on the win
@@Sevastian_Donahue Bruh he won 2 cups in a row. He can remember that and not be such a salty spaz about losing
He is CRYING cause he is NOT good
@@kyerannisbet8895 he is still frusturated as a goalie ik how it feels he is mad at himself because he feels like he didnt play 2 his full potential but he is the best goalie in the world and i feel for him
@@markrybeckpropertiesllc9866 he is the best goalie in the world
Darcy Kuemper was the goalie for Minnesota in 13-14 season, Avs lost in the first round in 7 games off a Nino Nideriter game winner, I cried like a little girl. Now the same goalie hoisted the Cup for the Avs and I cried like a little girl. Shame we couldn’t keep him around.
Congratulations🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️ 🎉🎉Now GO BRONCOS🏈🏈👍👍👍
What special time fr, miss it sm
I'm happy to see someone who shares my first name hoist the cup.
Well done Byram!
And well done to you too Colorado!
The Colorado Avalanche are the only active NHL team to have competed in the Stanley Cup final, and never lost.
I think you mean in franchise history
Longtime NY Rangers fan here but Congratulations to the 2021-2022 Stanley Cup Champions, Colorado Avalanche.
Well-Deserved. Best team in Hockey the entire year and played very impressive throughout the playoffs. Great job, guys!
Does anyone else get goose bumps whenever the Cup is hoisted, regardless of the winning team?
It is a special moment, especially for the #2 and #3 guys who are recognized by their team as deserving it most.
I did when I watched it live. Every year, I do, no matter who the captain/team is.
I maybe be a Pittsburgh Penguins fan but I'm really fortunate enough to see the Avs win the Stanley Cup and to be honest there defense was just as good as there offense was overall congratulations Colorado Avalanche.
COLORADO STAND UP! LETS GO AVSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
21 years ago i saw joe lift the cup, now i got to see him do it again. Its been a long time, but it was well worth it.
Nazem my favorite Leaf since Wendel.
4:54 is my favourite moment
A fan from the very beginning. The hood and the bad. And Sakic made a strong team. Way to go boys!!!!!!
I've been a fan of this team my entire life. This was the first cup I got to experience as an adult and I couldn't be happier. Go Avs!
Congrads to the Colorado Avalanche and all their fans on winning the cup. They were the team I was cheering for in the finals!
Feels good to see Makar hoist that cup! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love that Burakovsky, O'Conner, Murray, Macdermid all snuck in F Bombs with the Cup and nobody censored it.
I'm a grown man crying as I'm watching this!! So cool!! Amazing to see all the guys holding it, especially Joe for the 3rd time!! This team could be really good for a while!
Let’s go boys, it’s great to see you guys get what you deserve. You guys played a hell of a series
Rangers fan here. Big congratz Avs! You did an outstanding job! Well deserved! It's just sad you didn't get to accept the cup back home in Denver. Would be so awesome to see the Avs fan cheering for you during the cermony.
I'm a flames fan and honestly I had a feeling they were gonna win the cup ever since they won 3-0 against us in the regular season. Just the speed and skill was something that I haven't quite seen any other team. They're one hell of a team and I can't think of any team that's more deserving of the cup this year! The flames are a good team but lets be honest they're not Stanley cup material (just yet lol) so the avs very quickly became my number 1 choice in winning the cup and I'm so glad that they did! Congrats avs and their fans the pride and excitement you must be feeling must be incredible! Can't wait to see what happens next season! Stay amazing and classy hockey fans! 👏
Seeing them bring it out and knowing the history behind it gives me chills
I'm a die-hard Red Wings fan an it won't hurt me at all to say it. congratulations to Colorado it was well earned 💯 enjoy it all
It was tough....don't want a threepeat....nor the Ave's win. lol
@@toddjohnson271 I only wanted Colorado to win so Helm could get his second cup. But I harbor serious dislike for Tampa, always have , they're a great team with accolades an all but still got no love for them.
2:27 Bettman wasn’t there yet the mere mention of his name still triggered boos lol.
Очень рад за Валеру ! 🔥🤝
Он молоток!!! Много вложил в эту победу!!!!
@@1987984 он столько лет шёл к этому
@@Rama-gv4wn Согласен!!!))) Очень рад за него. Через терни прошел этот путь!!!
leafs fan here. congrats colorado! i was rootin for ya, well done! :) its awesome to see kadri life that cup man, so happy for the dude :)
Congratulations Avs! 21 years of peaks and valleys but you boys reached the summit. Well done! - Oilers fan
Over a year later and I still get the absolute chills when Landy lifts the cup! What a magical run by the boys!
I still cry. I watched this kid in Kitchener and he was captain there and it’s just a moment for me, I’m all misty eyed about it even now.
@@lynn-marieflechner5406I hear ya! Landy is such a good person too! I can’t wait to see him lift another cup!
Congratulations Avs! Thank you!
WOOHOO! Congrats to Colorado :) what a team they have right now! They've fought hard the past few years and shown a lot of heart, it must feel incredible to be the ones to bring back Stanley to Colorado for the first time in 20 years. The first cup lift always brings a tear to my eye, so happy for them :)
I'm a Hawks fan(we've fallen a long way sadly) but I've really enjoyed watching the Aves as one of my alternate teams to root for over the past two years, happy to see them take the cup!
