Did you see Kadri’s shirt? Trolling the shit out of ‘em

Hell yeah I did! He was sitting on the front of the fire truck wearing it! The pic you posted is much closer and clearer than the one I got.

I know we might not be able to afford him but I'd love to have him back next year. Kadri is great.

I won’t blame him if he leaves — he might not be able to sign a fatter contract over the course of his career than he will right now and he doesn’t have “I want to win a Cup” motivation anymore — but I would like to see him come back, too

Yeah no doubt. Guess we'll see!

[jmkratt]

Sam Girard today, lol.

[jmkratt]

Bought one of those Kadri shirts

I wish the Rangers would put together a team that doesn't give up so many shots like they have for the last like 10 years?

[Antiramie]

Bolts re-signed Paul to a good deal. That was a necessity. Now do Palat. Unfortunately, re-signing both of them means the reports of us trying to unload McDonagh are probably legit.

Would hate to see him go, but we prob do need to move him before he eats 2,000 more shots and sours other teams more on his contract.

Hopefully Killorn and maybe a couple of our 4th line guys get moved too.

[TypicalBilly14]

LOL.

"I was the first one who saw the car being parked in our driveway. I saw the car backing up," Rudenko told KUSA.

"The person opens the trunk and I saw the case and I recognized it, because I watched the final [Stanley Cup] games," he said. "Jokingly said, 'Is that the Stanley Cup?' And he says, 'Yes!'"

Oh that is gold.

[dmbetc]

See that piece of hardware pull up in the driveway is super cool, I’ll never forget!

[coldengrey12]

I have nothing close to that ^ but I did get my picture with the Cup in '91 when I was a wee lad

The Penguins and Flames played an exhibition game in Denver before the Nords moved to the Mile High

The Pens had just beat the North Stars to win it a few months earlier, so they had it on display on the concourse

[dmbetc]

Getting near the Cup in any capacity is memorable!

[Roose13]

I had my pic taken with it when I was a kid. And I covered when John Stevens brought it to the Jersey Shore. Also saw it in person when Justin Williams brought it to AC.

[kev87lads]

Saw the Cup at the arena when at the draft in 2014. Didn’t get in line for a picture. Wasn’t too worried about it.

[coldengrey12]

Just finished watching ESPN's Unrivaled doc about the Avs-Wings rivalry of the '90s

It focuses primarily on '96 through '98 and mentions the '01 Avs and '02 Wings Cups briefly at the end

Not much I didn't know as someone who lived and breathed that rivalry in real time, but I still thought it was pretty well done

Still need to check that out

[kev87lads]

The doc is fantastic.

I was left with slightly less hatred toward the Wings of that era, so you've been warned

Pretty incredible that either the Wings or the Avs won the Cup in five out of the seven seasons between '96 to '02

Mike Grier Named General Manager of San Jose Sharks

[coldengrey12]

NHL touting him as the first Black GM in history, heck yeah

[drakan]

Saw Grier play in college. Was a big dude.

[coldengrey12]

22-23 schedules out

[Roose13]

Bryan Marchment dead at 53

[drakan]

Reading that Russian players might have a hard time getting drafted with the Russian war situation going. Teams aren't sure if Russian players will be available and/or be able to leave the country.

[coldengrey12]

They were telling Nichushkin he couldn't take the Cup to Russia because they're worried it won't come back

Really? I hadn’t heard that but I believe it.

during the finals, the league anounced that none of the russian players could take the cup to russia. val was the only one on col, but TB had 2 or 3

[jmkratt]

Welcome to the champs, Georgiev!

I hope this allows Sakic the opportunity to get creative with Choo Choo and Kadri

[drakan]

NHL draft tonight on ESPN at 7 I think.

But what are the expected players to be selected tonight according to the deep advanced metrics?!?!? I’m going with 32.
