Series Talk: Avs Stanley Cup Celebration Pictures and Videos Thread

[Grigowski]

Any response from the league yet? This Cup is gonna be damaged as a whole before the summer even starts....

 

[niwotsblessing]

Real one almost(?) did.

Only Lord Stanley's Cup can take down Kurtis MacDermid.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Fake one took a tumble.

Man... The Cup isn't going to survive these guys.

The Kadri "Too Many Men" shirts are great.

Here is another idea for shirts:
"Waste of 56 days".

 

[TruePowerSlave]

I think that Sakic is going to try to build a dynasty here in Colorado. We just have too many good players.

There are no dynasties in the cap era + it's entirely possible that Kadri, Nuke, Kuemper, Manson and others all walk in two weeks.

We will see what happens, perhaps an arabic syndicate will create new league removing the cap space.

You are so bad!

You know what? Even if a few guys don't re-sign, or the leave the team down the line, this group will forever be linked and will meet up again at reunions and commemorative events. Just imagine a 50-year old Kadri showing up at an Avs game and ovation he'll receive, even if a week from now he signs a 7 year deal with the Flyers.

This is nothing compared to the beating it took from the Caps.

Avs have a long ways to go

The only positive of the cap is that everyone has to deal with it. The Leafs can't go out and buy a $10m goalie. The Bolts are having to trade McDonagh. The Oilers are, well, the Oilers. We're going to lose some guys. But our opponents will too. We're still going to be in good shape to defend.

The identity and character of this Avs squad was indelible. This was a team of f***ing warriors. Never say quit! Wherever they end up, they will always be Avs at heart.

As we can see, silver is a soft metal.

Or Maroon

Edit:beaten to it

What a 180 degree difference between the forum from last season’s post-VGK series and now. From reflection, evaluation, self-analysis as a team and finally coming full circle to now with just sheer utter happiness and exuberant elation. We really deserved it.

I don't think a team becomes a champion without heartache and disappointment. Tampa went to the finals against Chicago, missed the playoffs two seasons later, became a behemoth who then was swept by Columbus before going to the finals 3 straight years and walking away with 2 cups.

There's some random one offs but I think for the majority of teams you have to experience losing it before you can win it.

Exactly. Everyone on the Avs learned from their prior experiences and not just the VGK series. The lessons of having important players go down with injuries and other guys being able to take their place in order to succeed. We're talking multi-year lessons that were learned and incorporated into the team. That's why when I read about the Leafs and Panthers, it's like guys, you don't just go waltzing into the SCF and easily win it unless you're incredibly lucky.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

You’re seriously just learning this now???

Haven't watched hockey in while mate.

Who's the dumbass that dropped the cup in the club? Was it landy? lol

Nevermind clearly not landeskog.

You picked an inopportune time to take a break.

I eased off since the lockout it wasn't this year lol. Just dont have the same enthusiasm and love for the game anymore.

 

[Mules]

Oh that? Watch till the end

 

[Balthazar]

What did Cale say that made the guys laugh? We got more important *something*??

Was referring to the drinks of course, lol.

[Nihiliste]

NAK must have great tolerance, was constantly drinking and down interacting with the fans but somehow seemed a bit more functional and coordinated than a lot of the other guys lol

We are guaranteed keeping some of them, no way Joe just lets every ufa walk lol. Nuke will be priority surely.
