Avalanche Take Game 4 In Overtime, 1 More Win And They Claim 2022 Stanley Cup! Series Heads Back To Colorado For Game 5.

Tonight's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final 2022 would remind you of Game 1 between these two teams.  It was highly competitive between the visiting Colorado Avalanche and thee home team, Tampa Bay Lightning.  The Lightning would strike first in Period 1, with a goal from Cirelli at just 0:36 into the game.  This would be the only goal of this Period 1 though.  

Period 2 would see the teams trade goals.  The first goal would come from the Avalanche, tying the game a 1-1.  This goal would come from MacKinno at 5:17.  At 10:42 the Lightning would come back with another goal of their own.  This one from Hedman.  After 2 periods of hockey we'd have a close, 2-1 Lightning lead.  

Period 3, like Period 1, would be held to just 1 goal.  This goal would be delivered by Cogliano at just 2:53 into the final regulation period.  This would again tie the game, this time at 2-2.  The score would hold through the remaining 17:07, forcing Overtime, just like in Game 1 of this Stanley Cup Final 2022 Series.  

It would be an amazing overtime, great opportunities and even better blocks and saves.  However, someone had to take Game 4, and at 12:02, Kadri would mark his return as monumental for the Colorado Avalanche!  It's a sweet goal for the Goalie, D. Kuemper, who got the secondary assist on this Overtime goal too.  Congrats to them both.  This would give them the win, a final score of 3-2.  This gives them a 3-1 Game Series lead, meaning as they return to Colorado for Game 5 they only need 1 more win to claim the 2022 Stanley Cup.  We'll see if they can do it Friday night, June 24th, at 8:00 PM EST.  It will all go down live on ABC.

What the Ranger's Elimination From the 2024 NHL Playoffs Means for the Columbus Blue Jackets Acquired 2026 Draft Pick

It's been an interesting 2024 NHL Playoffs already. This was captivating by watching the divide among the 5th Line fans who chose to watch the playoffs and cheer on former Blue Jackets. As the Eastern Conference Final was set, we saw Sergei Bobrovsky on one end of the ice as a Florida Panther. On the other end of the ice, representing the New York Rangers, stood three former Jackets, Artemi Panarin, Alexander Wennberg, and Jack Roslovic. Due to the final player I listed with the New York Rangers end of the ice, this playoff series had implications for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Trade the organization did, sending Jack Roslovic to the New York Rangers, was for a conditional Fourth Round Draft Pick in the future 2026 NHL Draft. The condition to this pick was that if the Rangers advanced all the way to the Stanley Cup Final 2024, the Draft pick would increase to the third round. With the Florida Panthers eliminating the New York Rangers tonight in Game 6 (the final was 2-1), The B

Brenden Gaunce, Nick Blankenburg, and Jake Bean Sign NHL Deals Away From Columbus Blue Jackets

The 2024 Trade Deadline gives and takes away every season. Today, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed Sean Monahan to a deal that will last five years and give him a 5.5 Million AAV. This was the brighter side of the day as several Columbus Blue Jackets and Cleveland Monsters players signed elsewhere, including a favorite of mine.  The 30-year-old Center, Brenden Gaunce, left us to join the Minnesota Wild. He agreed to a deal that will go through the 2025-26 NHL Season. He was in Columbus last season for 24 games and had 4 points with an even 2 goals and 2 assists. I have yet to see what his contract is valued at, but nevertheless, I wish him good luck with the Wild.  Jake Bean had the 5th Line divided. Some saw value in him staying, while others wanted him traded months ago. He wasn't traded today but signed to become a Calgary Flame. This contract will take him through the 2025-26 NHL Season like Brenden Gaunce. It'll pay him roughly 1.75 million each season. Appearing in 72 gam

Rest in Peace, Johnny and Mathew Gaudreau- Part One

I've learned something over the roughly two and a half weeks since we lost Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Mathew; I will never be ready to write this blog. I've been avoiding this because my words seem hollow and empty to me; like anything I could say would be redundant and not enough. August 29th, 2024 will forever be burned into my brain alongside July 4th, 2021, the date we lost goaltender, Matiss Kivlenieks, in a firework accident when he used himself to shield others. To say this franchise and its fans have suffered too many tragedies since I started covering the team in May 2020 is an understatement. When we lost 'Kivi' I never imagined doing this again, but I am, and I won't lie to you because I never have; I hate that I have to do this again. My heart is shattered, especially for the Gaudreau family, and I don't think I'll ever find all the pieces. The hockey community will forever be changed by this tragedy. None of us want to accept that this nig
