Vas looks merely human against the Avs.

Either the Avs are that good or Vas has been exposed. After seeing parts of both games, I tend to go with the Avs being that good.

Avs are that good, the only way they were losing this year was Carolina or Florida. And honestly I don’t think we stood much of a chance unless we got our goalies healthy.

I watched the last 5 minutes of regulation and OT. Tampa Bay was down to 5 blue-liners and they couldn't get off the ice in OT. They were totally gassed when Kadri scored the game winner.

The best part of that goal was that no one knew it was in the netting up in the back. Complete delayed reaction. Had everyone fooled.

Been a lifelong Aves fan. Its been a while since I could get my hopes up about our team. I don't feel good being stuck 2-2 and not having held a lead at all during this game. Was really hoping for another blowout so I could just enjoy the countdown. 

And now as I type this Makar is hurting.

Congrats Aves.  Great year. Great cup win. 
 

Rod and the Canes…take notice how to do it. 

Lets get some MFn goal scorers that dont disappear come playoff time. IDC how big of a star the player is on the team. Everyone should be put on notice.

Colorado went all in at the deadline and it worked… Cogliano, Lehkonen, Manson, and Sturm combined for 14 goals, 16 assists, and 30 points in the playoffs.

Additionally, former Canes draft pick, Jack Johnson, finally gets his Stanley Cup, and I also see Roland McKeown (former Canes prospect) was on the final roster for the Avs.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
