22 Play-offs.

Well, this was a season that often wasn't much fun....but today I am smiling.

Smiling that Colorado are the Champs.

Smiling that Tampa was denied the three-peat.

Smiling for Arturri Lehkonen, who scored the Cup winning goal and gave a really nice shout out to his former teammates.

Smiling for Nathan Mackinnon, who has busted his behind for many years.

And last of all...smiling in anticipation of the NHL Draft.

Let's enjoy the summer and see what free agency & the draft bring everybody.

Congrats to the Avalanche and all their fans/collectors here!

Really glad the Avs are Champs! TBL, what a punch of complainers they are. Always complaining to the referees after a goal from their opponents; like if they were the only ones allowed to score goals in the NHL! Plus, they had the refs on their side most of the time... To me, the Bolts are gonna remain a team that can only win a Stanley Cup when the playoffs are held within a non-conventional formula. Cooper = overrated as head coach.

w/o the help of the NHL and the refs, we wouldn't even be talking of the Lightning. w/o the pandemic, their last Stanley Cup would still be the one from 2004. Never was a fan of Tampa, and never will be. In my opinion, they're not even real Champs! Congrats to the Avalanche for their Championship. It was more than well-deserved! They were the best team out there, from day 1 of the Playoffs 'til the very end !!!
