Denver. Colorado Avalanche dominates the Stanley Cup.
They trampled the current champions with all the rules of the art in their second final tonight and eventually won by humiliating numbers 7-0.
We did really well tonight, but of course it’s not over yet, Gabriel Landskog tells Sportbladet.
Klebija’s rivals Bergen also dominated the first final, on Wednesday, so there were expectations for them in the second row of the night.
But no one imagined that they would put on a show that twenty thousand happy fans could see on Saturday night.
Already after 2 minutes they stressed the powerplay and then immediately said bang.

Then she just ran away. Above all, Hill’s Josh Manson rose to 2-0 on a counterattack and before the first break Burakowski mentioned scoring his second goal in this year’s final. In the middle, the Avs rose to 5-0 and in the end they won with amazing numbers 7-0 – after two goals from star Cale Makar; One in numerical defect and the other in powerplay.
Meanwhile, the current champions have created almost nothing. Or rather: they were not allowed to invent anything.
– Although we won the first match, we felt there was a lot to improve, especially on the defensive side, he says Gabriel Landskog When we meet him under the stands in the arena a little over an hour after the final signal.
– Now we did just as we should, we didn’t give them much space and we were a lot faster. Then come the goals, too.
“Let’s go ahead”
Yes, seven pieces then. However, the Swedish captain does not attach much importance to this figure.
We scored our chances but we got a lot of chances too will To be a target, he continues.
– It doesn’t matter if you win 7-0 or 2-1. It’s a win, so we’ll just let that go and move on.
And unlike the outside world—who started whispering that Avs could do as in the final in 1996 and sweep an opponent from Florida—”Gabbe” and his friends don’t take anything for granted in terms of a sequel.
– No, of course it’s not over yet. We did really well tonight and hopefully build on that, but the series is now turning into Tampa and it’s going to be tough to play away, he says.
On the other hand, we played well away from home throughout the qualifiers and I hope we can continue that.
The third final will be decided on Tuesday night – at the Amalie Arena.
