The Colorado Avalanche Are your 2022 Stanley Cup Champions. https://youtu.be/4pYYzoPKLHU
The journey is over. The Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup last night with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The win gave the Avalanche a 4-2 series victory over the two-time defending champion Lightning and ended their big for the NHL’s first “three-peat” since the 1980s New York Islanders won four in a row. It wasn’t…...
The Stanley Cup Final continues as the Avs drop Game 5 at home missing on their first attempt to win the Stanley Cup. Through five games this series has lived up to the hype. https://youtu.be/9iHyXXlv8n0
The Stanley Cup was in the building tonight, and the crowd wanted to see it. Unfortunately for the fans, and more so the Colorado Avalanche, the greatest trophy in sports never emerged from its case.

All the way back in Round 1, I was talking with a fellow media member and they mentioned how much they love dramatic Game 4s. It’s almost always a team looking to go up 3-1, playing a team desperately trying to even the series. That was exactly what we had tonight. The Colorado Avalanche had successfully defended home ice in…...
The Avs played their worst period of the playoffs in this game and got what they deserved from it. Team-wide, the Avs will have to step it back up to stay in control of the series but they do maintain a 2 – 1 lead over Tampa. https://youtu.be/k11AiK_x2xw
Hockey is a game of inches, and I thought Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final exemplified that. The series shifted to the home of the Tampa Bay Lightning, with the Colorado Avalanche looking to take a stranglehold on the series after winning the first two games of the Final. It was an eventful start to the game, and the…...
It’s funny the way life develops around you sometimes. My entire life, I’ve been a natural writer. Words came easy, numbers were always a bit of a nightmare. I only learned as an adult I had dyscalculia (basically dyslexia but with numbers) and that’s probably why I struggled to learn basic math functions. Somewhere along the way, though, I got…
The Avs just played the best game maybe any team has ever played in a Stanley Cup Final. Sheer dominance for a full 60 minutes left a Tampa team with all the experience in the world feeling something new. A blowout loss to go down 2 – 0 in the Final. https://youtu.be/Dkb1vsX8ywA
You know those annoying people that like to bring up the weather during casual conversation? Well, I’m one of them. I obsessively check the day’s forecast throughout the day and want to know what I’m facing anytime I decide to leave the house. So imagine my amusement when I checked the forecast before leaving my house and seeing that the…...
Every game of this series hinged on only a few at-bats and yet the Rockies came away on the wrong side each time in the sweep at the hands of the Guardians. Will we see a switch at the catcher spot with the rise of Brian Serven? Which fan favorite will no longer be with Colorado? Weird, Wild and Wonderful…
Meghan Angley from DNVR Avalanche details how the Colorado Avalanche assembled a roster that has come together to reach the Stanley Cup Final. What can the Rockies learn from this? And is hockey most like baseball when it comes to developing homegrown players? Plus, Meghan and Suzie team up to look at the astrology charts of the Rockies to figure…
The first one is done, and what a game it was. The Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning opened the Stanley Cup Final tonight and Game 1 lived up to the hype. This has been billed as one of the best Cup Final matchups the NHL has seen in a long, long time. Tonight was a fantastic game from…...
Here we go, the Stanley Cup Final. Down to the last two teams remaining, and we have what is, in my opinion, the best Final matchup you could’ve hoped for at the start of the season. A team looking to win their third Championship in a row, and a team who has been knocking on the door of greatness trying…...
One more round to help you top off your summer travel fund. This is the Stanley Cup Finals so there are more props to bet than in previous rounds. Still nowhere near the level of props for the Superbowl but enough to remind me of the Cheesecake Factory Menu as I started to work my way through it. One interesting…...
Despite traveling around the country with his own late-night gig as a professional athlete, Kyle Freeland plans to be rather active when it comes to Stanley Cup Final. “I’m still kind of debating on maybe taking a quick trip to Tampa for Game 3 on our off day when we’re in Miami,” the Colorado Rockies Opening Day starter said. “We’ll…
The Avalanche finally have their opponent for the Stanley Cup Final. The two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning won their 11th consecutive playoff series in dispatching the overmatched New York Rangers in six games. This gives the NHL a highly-anticipated matchup between the Avalanche and Lightning, two teams with striking parallels in their journey to this moment. You have the…...
This entire season has been about waiting. Following a 56-game sprint of a season that saw the Avalanche dominate a bad division and emotionally crumble in a playoff series against Vegas, trusting this Avalanche team again was going to be difficult. So we waited. We kept waiting for the thing that was going to derail the Colorado Avalanche. Despite dealing…...
