Steve Palumbo: Stanley Cup Final: Avalanche Take Thrill Game One In OT

So as much as I would love to see Ryan Murray, or Sandis Ozolinsh, or Uwe Krupp, or maybe even a broken refrigerator with skates come in and play for Jack Johnson, this article makes a pretty good case for why we should be fans of the man.

Riding off with a cup would quite the redemption arc for this guy, he deserves it.

I have no comment. I am still hungover and butthurt.

Confused about my feelings because on the one hand, Cup winning goal in '96, on the other hand Uwe betrayed us for... them.

Both Kadri and Cogliano skated and stickhandled this afternoon. Great news, but still they were taking it very gingerly obviously.

I think we see them both for game 3 and going forward

Well take it for what it's worth, but there's an "insider" reporting that Cogs is ready to go for game 2 and Naz will be back by 3 or 4. Now that's what I was kind of guessing anyhow, but we'll see if literally who on Instagram and Twitter is legit.

*edit* and it looks like Cogliano was a full participant at practice today.

Dr. Ho makes a cream for that, might as well buy it by the gallon.

Game 2 coming soon to a screen near you!

Awww Perry, it will be okay, just take the L buddy and move on

I don't want to say anything to jinx this team again but this is highly, highly enjoyable right now.

The Lightning look like a semi truck with no tires trying to race a Porsche. You can feel a bit optimistic!

I fully came into tonight thinking Tampa would adjust and we would see a different game. That first period though, that was Avs at their finest!

Hey, let's be honest here. Landy wiffed on two open net, sure goals, and Burky failed to convert that breakaway. There's a lot of room for improvement here!

Step on their necks!!

Damn unlucky Burakovsky. Hope it's not serious. LOC is having a great game, his work ethic is crazy.

How's come you're on our side? Sick of the Bolts?

Darren (frank)ing Helm showing what he can do

JJ nearly gifted Tampa a goal before Helm scored. I hope the man wins but damn how does no one even bring up Ryan Murray's name? Johnson is like a perfect example of the "one of these things is not like the other" tests for this team.

LMAO did JTC yell, "SCREW EM"?

What the (frank) is happening lol, I’m at work and can’t watch the game
