2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Western Conference Finals, Game 4 (@ St. Louis)
Let's pause a moment to give some praise to
Sam Olson, a 34-year old Right Winger who we picked up off waivers in February and who I'm pretty sure has flown completely under the radar here so far. He appeared in 30 games for us this season, scoring 4 goals with 8 assists and with a respectable +4 and 62 average game rating.
He played very well today in St. Louis, albeit in a losing effort, as the Blues swept the Avalanche out of the playoffs.
All in all, though, it was a good run and exceeded my expectations at least. I think it should satisfy our new owner (Stan Kroenke sold the team in the offseason to Robby Jones).
And now we will start looking forward to the off-season, the draft, reloading the team for next year's run for the Cup.
Over in the Eastern Conference the New York Rangers lead Ottawa 2 games to 1.
Next post will update those results and preview the Stanley Cup Finals.
