Great video my friend! I think only time will tell if he can keep this momentum (which I hope he does). He really proved to everyone in the Winnipeg series that he can have HUGE impact. Love this video and I hope we win the cup this year. We are looking so so SO good!
Both Val and Lehky are the X-Factors IMO. Top line will always be rolling and when those guys hit their peak playoff mode, Avs are such a tough team to play against. Sprinkle in playoff Cale and whammo.
Two things: 1. Who would you rather see the Av’s play. Vegas or Dallas? We would have home ice against Vegas. 2. We need a much better nickname for Nichuskin(misspelled). The Cho Cho train? He is not a four year old. It’s hockey so maybe something bloody like “The Choskinator.” Something?
I’m a Manitoban and I gotta say that guy is one hell of a hockey player. The Avs have a sixth gear that the Jets couldn’t match. The way they dominated our team leads me to believe the Colorado Avalanche are going to win the Stanley Cup.
The answer is no. Mac is still their best player and everything revolves around him – including all attention given by the opposing team. Val just benefits from being on the best line, period.
God damn we got some talent this year!!!! And most of the top is locked in. I still believe we find a way to keep Drouin. If he’d take 4-5m I think we find a way. In the open market? Well he’s only getting better. Might lock a 6-7m deal… Val is one of my favorite players. Has been ever sense he joined the team. He’s just gotten better every 20-30 games. Slowly but surely finding a top roll on the team. He and lehky are irreplaceable imo. And lehky only making 4.5m yr. He’s so damn insane this time of year. He’s worth twice that in the playoffs. Not sure why he’s so damn good now but I won’t complain.. just looked up PO stats sense joining Avs. Hes a ppg player. And is scoring 20-25% of his shots. Insane
The whole lineup is capable of MVP. It starts with the defense and the quick break out. When you have guys like Makar, Toews, Girard all exceptional skaters and puck moving d men it makes it easy for forwards like Mac, Moose, Lecky, Val, Drouin etc to execute their skill, speed and ability to make big plays. The Avs are a scary team this playoff season and seem to only look better every game.
I was a little mad that he asked for such a high contract after only one good season, thinking he would revert back to his production in the past. But he's just gotten better and better, to the point that contract looks like a bargain now
In round 1 he is absolutely the mvp. But very closely followed by Arturi Lehkonen. It's good to have him back with his head clear. I hope he keeps it up!

You can see a big difference when Nuke isn’t in the lineup

Keep up the good work! Love to see your videos from Belgium! You put out great content and very good insights about our Avs 💪🏼
🚂 All Aboard!!

We love Val 🚂🚂🏒

No, Cale Makar is.
Nichushkin is good but it's Makar for sure.
we literally have 5 guys that can be that player lol , choo choo ,lekky , makar ,mac and moose

Val will win the Conn Smythe this year.

Val is one of the best in the world but… Playoff MacKinnon is a completely different beast. Also Lehkonen is a pretty damn solid playoff player too
Lehky is the most clutch and val being the most consistent
