Coach Bednar smiled twice in the playoffs, after the WCF victory, and after the SCF. The Dude's been a rock. So good to see him let it out. Love ya back, Coach!
Bednar was such a calming presence during the playoffs. A completely stoic dude, no matter what happened just a rock for the boys. Seeing him let it out here means a lot. What a legend. Thanks coach.
Yesterday was so electric. I’ve never felt Denver like that. Everywhere I walked someone was striking up a convo and just exuding this energy. Thank you, coach!
Unleash the water works. Oh boy. So proud of this team. The skill and professionalism they showed during these playoffs. No excuses after losses just hard work and hard clean hockey all playoffs. I am so happy to have been able to be apart of their journey this year and watch them overcome everything they did over the past years.
this is so awesome! they were my first love for Hockey back in 97 when I was stationed at Fort Carson, first game i attended was the SC QF against the Oilers! I was hooked since!! Mahalo Boys from Hilo, Hawaii!!!!
From a coach on a dead last 48pt team facing the possibility of losing his job in the NHL, to a Stanley Cup winning Coach less than 6 years later. Props to Coach Bednar, from a Blues fan. You learned from last year and pushed your guys over the hump and all the way to the top of the mountain. Enjoy this summer, Avs fans! This is your house party until October when you raise your 3rd banner at Ball Arena and surrender Lord Stanley back to the Keeper for next Spring's playoffs
I just wanna know to all the doubters...you still wann get rid of this guy...??? this team will ride for this guy I love it ..we love you coach!!! let's go AVS....
Bedsy, watching you play as a defenseman for the SC Stingrays was a treat . Then the coaching began, and you fell into greatness and never looked back. Congrats, you got your name on the big boy cup. That's living the dream baby.
Absolutely beautiful moment, and so richly deserved for JB! All those late nights staying up to watch the Avs progressing year after year under his leadership... made it all worth it now, and thanks from a lifelong Avs fan here in the UK.
I'm so glad the Avalanche won the cup. I was rooting for them from the first day of the playoffs. I wish the team the best of luck in the future and I will be rooting for coach Bednar.
WE LOVE YA COACH, you all did a hell of a job this season and through the years staying strong and committed to the final goal. now you have achieved it and the city of Denver couldn't be happier and more proud of you and your team! truly an amazing moment in Colorado sports history
Hockey history goes back a LONG way and is storied and cherished, SO the only coach EVER in HISTORY to win championships at 3 levels? HUGE! Good job all and we are so lucky with Bednar! Like Kubiak in '15, Beddy pushed all the right buttons and pulled all the right levers and it's an art and a joy to watch. Way to go Coach! Much love!
I remember he got hired right after the Lake Erie Monsters won their championship. He deserves so much more credit. Just seems like a humble guy, just happy to be with his team.
Honorable. Incredible. The Avs, Coach Bednar, JOE SAKIC and the entire consolidated City and County of infinitely beautiful Denver and the great Centennial State of Colorado truly do deserve to hoist that Lord Stanley Cup. Mad and much love from Houston, Texas.
Coach Bednar is emotional here and for good reason. I am a Canadian and die hard Maple Leaf’s fan. I admit to being totally Toronto-centric during the regular season. Once play offs begin, it is fun to see the other teams play. Getting to know the players and all of their different strengths and personalities is entertaining. It was apparent to me that the Colorado Avalanche had a lot more speed than Tampa did as the series progressed. Tampa just seemed tired this year, I don’t know? But, I am glad the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup! The Av’s have a team that is filled with wildly good players. I love seeing how the city of Denver did it right and threw the team one helluva party!! I wish everyone involved with the team nothing but success in their futures. The future is bright for every player on the Colorado Avalanche now. Congratulations to the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions!!!
Love JB. Perfect guy to go through the process for the first time in lock step with the boys. Beautiful moment. Side note: Believe it or not, that's Bowen Byram still sporting his best playoff beard behind Coach.
Gotta say, I know that the team was stacked with talent but so were the other cup teams. Bednar had these guys playing both sides of the ice so well that I'm calling him the best coach in avs history. If it weren't for Patrick Roy I don't think our avs bring the cup home in years past. If somehow Bednar could coach the old avs cup teams I feel like they would have been a 3 or 4 time repeat champ team. Simply because of defensive play.
@@brettkenschaft4239, look at the pedigree of the players on those 1996 and 2001 teams, and this 2022 AVS team does not come close to matching that. The NHL was a deeper, more experienced league back then, a much deeper, and much more savvy players league. Salary cap and expansion teams without getting enough Eastern Euro Bloc talent to compensate for the thinning of talent depth on each team, and goalies who are just tall guys on their knees sliding around, make for a much thinner quality league. There is more to being good hockey players than speed and athleticism..much more.
@@robertsprouse9282 You're right! And I changed my mind about naming them. Here's just a taste from '01...Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Adam Foote, Adam Deadmarsh, Valerie Kamensky, Patrick Roy, Milan Hejduk, Alex Tanguay, Ray Bourque, Sandis Ozolinsh, Stephan Yelle, Rob Blake, Chris Drury, just to name a few. What an embarrassment of riches!!!!
@@brettkenschaft4239, great team, and I am not an AVS fan..Did you forget a pretty good defenseman named ALEXEI GUSAROV, he was around in '96, as far as 2001..? And, I almost forgot UWE KRUPP the CUP WINNING GOAL IN 1996 IN GM. 4's third overtime at Miami, FLA. I mentioned 1996, too. But, just know this, outside of about 10-15 Canadian skating guys, and a skating handful of RUSSOS, and CZECHS, A COUPLE OF DOZEN SWEDES, AND FINNS, AND ABOUT 7-9 US players, the NHL is weaker and trying to come out of a down-cycle talent period from the past 10-15 years.. Compare those lineups in the 1990's and pre-lost season early 2ks, and you will see what I mean. As far as goalies, compare today's best vets and that era's best, and its no contest.
I'm a Devils fan and we lost to this team in 96 and that was tough. But to see this team turn it around after loosing a lot just a few years ago and win gives me hope. How 'bout a rematch? FYI low key McKinnon fan.
When a great coach is supported & not micro-managed this is what happens. Having Sakic at the helm, Bednar as head coach & letting him coordinate his coaching staff, no organization has done it better. Edmonton could have had it, they certainly have the talent, but waiting to make coaching changes etc cost them. Perfect examples of how having a great organization results is great success.
Say what you want about the amazing team through and through. But it takes everything to beat the 2 time defending champs that had everything. It may just be that way to win it in this league now, that's 3 in a row with no holes. I don't know whether to call it putting so much on all his players, or letting them do their thing. But to a man this team switched with one another freely in any zone, whatever it took to make the play as fast as possible, were all capable of doing one another's job. That's balls from a head coach one way or the other. No one else lets more than a handful of players do that, no wavering through the times it bit us and led to odd man rushes against, or guys left open in our slot. Everyone bought in. This guy deserves so much credit for how well the avs played and how well they can play. A guy that is clearly adapting and learning instead of sticking to his pre conceived blueprint. A team and a coach willing to look in the mirror to improve even when some outside excuses are there, and the difficulty seems too large. I hope people see what I see, he's not getting enough credit. Not that he wants it anyway.
Drunk as fuck :D But as a Finn then we speak the truth :D Love this ! Thank you AVS! And thanks for TPS Turku for Mikko Rantanen and Artturi Lehkonen ^^
Coach Bednar smiled twice in the playoffs, after the WCF victory, and after the SCF. The Dude's been a rock. So good to see him let it out. Love ya back, Coach!
Well said.
He waved at me
He smiled once during all the terrible calls in game 5 but I dont think it was a happy smile.
Bednar was such a calming presence during the playoffs. A completely stoic dude, no matter what happened just a rock for the boys. Seeing him let it out here means a lot. What a legend. Thanks coach.
I'd guess Jared has been drinking a few pops! What a coach!!!
He's gonna be a Hall of Fame coach. Get em Bednar!!
I LOVE THIS COACH! you can feel the love he has for this team and city! you can see DENVER is in GOOD hands for YEARS to come! DENVER DYNASTY is here!
Coach is an amazing man, great leader, great coach. BEDNAR IS OUR BEDROCK!
You gotta respect this coach for letting his tears and emotions out in front of all these fans. He truly deserved it. Well done Jared. 🎉
Dude spent the last two months stone faced. With the cup he has more than earned an emotional moment.
Yesterday was so electric. I’ve never felt Denver like that. Everywhere I walked someone was striking up a convo and just exuding this energy. Thank you, coach!
awesome
That's why I love hockey!
Coach was LIT and it’s well deserved. Congrats Avs faithful! That was some fun hockey to watch this year

LETS GOOO AVS!!! I was there today it’s a core memory for sure
Damn Bedsy, right in the feels!

Crazy but awesome and heartwarming seeing him emotional ❤️
This will never get old!
Nope ! Never!
Coach bednar forever in my heart
whatta a fking good guy, love this guy man such a good human well played and well deserved !
I'm struggling with watching these video replays of the celebration. I'm just too happy for so many people on this team and for my city.
Love JB. Perfect guy to go through the process for the first time in lock step with the boys. Beautiful moment.
Side note: Believe it or not, that's Bowen Byram still sporting his best playoff beard behind Coach.
Great coach
Flames fan here. Honestly good speech. Did a good job. Not an av's fan but he knows how to win. Good on him.

They way the shut down Tampa’s offense at times was epic..
I don't know. There was boatloads of talent on those 2 Cup teams, especially '01. I won't bother naming them all, but it wasn't just because of Roy.

Top notch!
If you're a free agent, how could you NOT want to come and play for this team and that coach?
Was there in person, truly awesome.
Props to Bednar for giving a lot of credit to Joe Sakic.
I can't wait for the last few 'quest for.the cup' episodes to come out. Fun to see the players and coaches behind the scenes
Famous Sakic wrist shot !
Awesome coach’s yay Avalanche Stanley cup woooo🔥🔥🔥🔥
The avs deserved it great run all around and clearly a coach who cares a lot
Наконец, Беднар дал волю эмоциям. Впервые за 6 лет.
Man is he hammered!!..😂🎊🎉
I was thinking the same exact thing lmao. Definitely emotional but definitely trashed too 😂😂😂
ABSOLUTE STUD
Liked him before... love him now 🍻👍
That's my coach!!!
Saskatchewan produces another legend
I support the Bednar Bender
#29 Nathan incredible person &athlete ☆☆☆☆

He busted his ass! Coach is hardest on himself. Thank you, Coach!

This dude is buzzing hard lol 😆
Drunk as fuck :D But as a Finn then we speak the truth :D Love this ! Thank you AVS! And thanks for TPS Turku for Mikko Rantanen and Artturi Lehkonen ^^
Best coach in the nhl
He sounds a lil drunk on top of his emotion and I don't blame him one bit!! Love ya Bedsy... AV FOR LIFE!!
He was a little buzzed 🤪
I think Karlis Skrastins is very happy and proud of Colorado Avalanche !!!🥰😇🙏🙏🙏
the are all either blazed or drunk lol
Why wouldn't they be
Lol, shows how much this mattered to the whole team; only the ones who work that hard to win can party that hard to celebrate
That dude is hammered
Won the ECHL AHL and Stanley Cup
Quebec has seriously one of the best coaches in the league!! The future is bright!!
lol Byram just trying not to fall over right now
Coach Jared, will you be my dad?
Lol someone’s an emotional drunk. Glad they won. Great group of guys there
Damn,that would be me.😂
The boys are gonna rip him a new one later making fun of him getting emotional lmao
I’m sorry but Kadri looks like Bill Murray from Caddyshack...
Is that Barney Gumbell or Bednar
Still want him fired?
Absolute love fest...
Intermission speeches to the team: "Ahh, you guys know you're good, just go do your thing and you'll win"
He sounds drunk.
of course, it's after the parade.
Take it all in man! I know nothing about hockey but awesome. Really cool
