Within minutes of the Colorado Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup on Sunday night, social media lit up to discuss the big moment.
Sportsnet.ca's Luke Fox described Colorado's season as "dominant," culminating in its 2-1 win in Game 6 to take the Cup.
Jeff Marek noted how both the Cup-champion Avalanche and AHL Calder Cup-winning Chicago Wolves team were led by former ECHL coaches in Jared Bednar and Ryan Warsofsky, respectively.
Coyotes reporter Craig Morgan noted the impact the win had on the Darcy Kuemper trade: the Coyotes receive Colorado's third-round pick in 2024 as a condition of the swap.
The win put St. John's native Alex Newhook in some exclusive company, making him just the third player from Newfoundland to hoist the Cup, joining Michael Ryder from Bonavista (Boston Bruins, 2011) and Daniel Cleary of Harbour Grace (Detroit Red Wings, 2008).
