Every Red Wing fan loves this even though he did it for the Avalanche. It's just great. Long live Helm. He's all heart and we wish him all the success.
Fun fact: Darren Helm was on the Red Wings when they played the Avalanche (like they usually did in that era) in 2008 for Joe Sakic’s final playoff run. 14 years later, Helm scores the winning goal to send Sakic and the Avs to the Conference Finals. Awesome.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the Organ Player! at 0:15 the is Organ player begins an amazing performance, truly capturing the essence of trying to take a miserable moment for the home team, as they are eliminated from playoff contention, and turning it into a bigger introspection. I think after hearing that organ blow it's last note, every Blues fan understood that they were never supposed to win that year. They had already had their moment a few years before. It was a new day, and a new, hungry, and talented team with a sprinkle of grizzly veterans was destined to take up the mantle. Darren Helm scores the game winner, greatly assisted by a smooth skating Erik Johnson. Both old, old players who had been through the ringer. This was the moment the old guys gave their say. This was the moment the Avs won the Stanley Cup.
You will see him just as exited as a GM, as when he won the cup as player, if the AVS can take it all the way. Anything other then a Stanley Cup with this team, is IMO nothing to get overly exited about from his perspective.
So happy for Helm, even though he's outta Detroit, he's a wing at heart. And scoring a goal like that has to feel good so deep in his career. Enjoy the moment Helmer! and to avs fans, Your welcome :) best of luck
Been an AVs fan since day one for them in Colorado! It’s been a long 20 years, but it feels so good to be back in the Western Finals! Let’s get that cup boys!!
Man, I jumped up and down and screamed when this goal went in. It was especially awkward because I work for a radio show and we were in the middle of a broadcast at the moment. The host was in the studio next to me watching me freak out through the glass confused as hell.
As a Blues fan, I have a newfound respect for their organist with that song he played upon that goal being scored. It was "ABCDEFU" by Gayle in case you were still listening to the announcers.
Jeremy Boyer is a very creative organist. I also love the thing he does after where the notes get higher into let’s go blues. Also the way it was done here compared to normal where it was slower really set the mood that this was really it.
@@GoAvsGo87 The same can be said for the Blues, but on a much bigger scale. You people are so racist to Kadri and sent him death threats. Do you see any of that from us Avs fans? Of course not.
@@GoAvsGo87 Yeah you can't lump in the entire fanbase. I don't agree with Avs fans that are arrogant here on youtube, just like Blues fans don't agree with the racism spewed at Kadri
Singh shows the emotion that I wish more Sportsnet broadcasts had. He's amazing at calling the game. As a Leafs fan, I'm jealous the Oilers have him almost exclusively
He really has been great. A hard working veteran, that still has the skills to pay the bills. The AVS needed a guy like Helmer! You just love to see it.
Helm's first playoff goal since the OT winner vs. Chicago back in '09. Nice to see him still out there, and finally being rewarded, as well as the rest of the Avalanche. It's gonna be a helluva Western Conference Final.
WCF is going to be insane!!! It’s going to be high octane, high flying offenses and fun as hell to watch!!! God I luv hockey playoffs even when my team is out. Edit: it amazes me how hockey playoffs still hasn’t grown a big audience. The excitement, how close, intense, the length of series, the grind to win Lord Stanley. To me no other league is harder to win the championship. Football (NFL) my favorite sport but hockey playoffs, the top and best.
Fun Flashback: May 27, 2009, Chi at Det game 5. Darren Helm has his infamous PK titled "The Shift" in the first period, burning 25 seconds of pk, and getting a shot on goal. Fast forward to OT, and Darren Helm scores to send Detroit back to the Stanley Cup final. Love this man. Wish him the best in retirement.
Ya gotta love the payoffs no matter who your rooting for. Its not like the regular season at all. Players step up who you'd thought were neutralized or a non factor in a series. There have been so many freak plays , hat tricks , long distance goal shots, just amazing to watch.
Очень рад за Колорадо! Рад что в полуфинале встретятся с Эдмонтоном! И да рад что кто то из этих двух команд будет играть с Тампой в финале! Да будет ИГРА, да будет БОРЬБА, и пусть победит СИЛЬНЕЙШИЙ!!!
It's wild this series winner against the Blues came exactly 13 years after his series winner against the Blackhawks in the 2009 WCF back when he was still playing for Detroit.
This is my favorite goal of the Av's Cup run. It would have been the Kadri goal in game 4 of the finals had I saw it go in and been able to react properly when it happened.
Great moment for the Avs, tough loss for the Blues. Exciting series overall with lots of fantastic hockey. Both teams played their hearts out. You expect nothing less in the playoffs. Go Avs!
Imma say it. This goal was bigger than the Cup clincher. Until Helmer scored I thought we were headed to seven. Can’t wait to run it back. Back to Back.
Oh Wow! Darren Helm Has Stunned the Crowd at Enterprise Center in St. Louis with This Series Winning Goal with 4.9 Seconds Left! Can You Believe This?!

@@rasmussandin3839 still got a shot on net, had that gone in then god knows what would happen, all things said and done avs dominated the game, was only a matter of time, great series, well played blues but avs back in conference final for first time in 20 years, now is the time to make it count #GoAvsGo
I love how they put 0.7 seconds back on the clock. What about all those other 0.7 seconds throughout the entire game?? They would have close to a minute of additional time. Lol but no, last 5 seconds? We gotta put 0.7 back up.`

Absolutely brutal way to go out. Just incredible. What a game.
I love Husso's reaction. Doesn't drop to the ice in shame or throw a tantrum, just sits there looking at his teammates in shock.
So proud of the Avalanche keep it up fellas!! Love from Carolina
Who says a former Red Wing can’t be a hero in Colorado?
I don't think actually anyone says that :p
@@AlexAnteroLammikko it's a joke. The Avs and Redwings have a very long and dark history with one another.

It will be a tough battle
@@BR-joking I know. Who's going to get the most no-calls? My bet is still McDavid, but the NHL doesn't want a Canadian team anywhere near the cup
@Amber Heard turd the third very true. They will need to shut him down
McDavid has the hotter hand right now, seems like the supporting cast is doing more of the work for Colorado
Congratulations avalanche fans for making it to the WCF for the first time since 2002 YALL deserve this 👌🏻
With a former Red Wing scoring the goal
@@lankancheetah That's the irony, isn't it? A blood feud between the Avs and Wings and now a Wing sends the Avs to the WCF

Grew up an Avs fan(bandwagon because they were so good) and still followed them over the years it really is great to see how far they’ve come
Thanks avs.

Hoping to Helm win a cup one more time, been so loyal to the Red Wings for so long, I'm rooting for him.

I always knew the Avs could pull it off, so glad I never lost hope!
Sometimes I forget Darren Helm plays for the Avs because it seems wrong for a former Wing to be on the Avs. And the he does some stuff like this
