He's gonna feel that in the morning. Wonder if that guy who threw the punch is a natural south paw. If not, that was impressive.

I'm just hoping it doesn't 1) start on the 18th and 2) go 7 games. If it does, I'll be streaming it on a 13" laptop from Belfast, UK at like 3am.

Center Nazem Kadri and winger Andrew Cogliano are recovering from finger/thumb surgeries and have not been ruled out of playing in the Stanley Cup Finals at some point By MIKE CHAMBERS | UPDATED: June 9, 2022 at 3:18 p.m. The Avalanche injury update on Thursday was perhaps as good of news as fans could have hoped. Following a light practice, goalie Darcy Kuemper said he is “100%,” and Colorado coach Jared Bednar is hopeful forwards Nazem Kadri and Andrew Cogliano will return from thumb/finger surgeries and play at some point during the Stanley Cup Finals. “It’s all taken care of,” Kuemper said of the upper-body injury that forced him out of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Edmonton. Kuemper, who has started Game 1 of all three series this postseason, was injured midway through Game 1 against the Oilers and was scratched in Games 2 and 3. He was cleared and backed up Pavel Francouz in the series-clinching Game 4. Kuemper will presumably be the Game 1 starter against the Rangers or Lightning in the Stanley Cup Finals, but Bednar, per usual, declined to disclose his plans. The Avs coach is optimistic Kadri and Cogliano will play in Colorado’s first Cup Finals since 2001. Kadri sustained a broken thumb early in Game 3 against Edmonton and Cogliano went down with a similar injury late in Game 4. “Similar surgeries, different fingers, thumbs. So both guys are back (around the team),” Bednar said. “Kadri’s in the gym this morning, doing everything he can to get back to being able to play and hopefully, both those guys, we’re hoping that, depending on the timeline, they’ll be able to make their way back into the Finals. We’ll see how it goes when they get playing and whatnot, but we’re hopeful that that could be an option for us.”
Spoiler!

Lightning take their 3rd in a row a coming. Kadri watching helplessly? Even more tasty

If my kid was a goalie I would definitely want him to copy Carey Price ‘s style , technique and demeanour. Some goalies have had great careers, wins due to having a great team /system in front of them but when it comes to a goalie that could just outright steal a game Price and Hasek are the first two that pop up in my head.

Dominik Hasek
He was unorthodox which made him tough to figure out and down right good. Strangely enough the only constant weakness I can recall when watching him is when some big, goofy, defensive linemen with 4 career goals would toss a sloppy, knuckleball, shot at him. |

I'm of course bias for Roy... a buddy back in high school was a Devils fan for some reason, so Brodeur is right there even though he also played in a system that was great for goalies in general. |

TB is obviously the more talented team. The goalie is on his way to the top list of all time goalies if he keeps this level of defense up. Stamkos is getting older but still brings it.

It's relatively easy to shut down one line in the playoffs and the Rangers don't quite have the depth to contend with a team like TB yet. It'll be really interesting to see which team can force their will in the Finals and how that goes game to game.... TB is probably the best team in the league playing with a lead (and it may not even close) and they really want to get that lead and just shut it down. This was the match up I was hoping for least season, but the Avalanche of course didn't hold up their end of the deal... can't wait! |

Avs can beat that team. They have the offensive talent like the Leafs did to trouble them for sure.
