When Big Val is good, Colorado is an immediate Stanley Cup contender.

[@nguoibantotnhat]

Big Val and the Avs are made for each other. He is the difference maker in the playoff.

[@Elrath92]

Colorado Valeranche!!!

[@trentblakeslee6643]

Right and next year we got a Viking coming back in Gabe the Babe!!

[@GogaMagoga151]

Big Val, Chelyabinsk is proud of you. We believe in you and Colorado!

[@trentblakeslee6643]

Chelyabinsk, thanks for makeing such a stud! we love him here in the Rockies he has honorary native (of CO) Status in this this CO native's opinion

[@Rizvan-ol5zn]

Вэл просто король пятачка , здесь ему равных нет , очень продуктивно работает в этой зоне 🙂

[@DarkDays4]

Avs definitely missed this guy in the playoffs last season

[@poejavelski148]

1000% would have won in the first round if Val was playing.

[@nguoibantotnhat]

Big Val the difference maker in the playoff. He and the Avs are made for each other.

[@EthanR01]

Just tell him to lay off the Russian prostitutes the rest of the playoffs and yall will have a chance to win another cup

[@trentblakeslee6643]

He only missed the last couple and that was Just cuz he was partying before the job was done but yeah that was big, glad he got his poop in a group

[@fareaster9760]

Валера,настало твоё время 😂

[@user-bc3ck4ht9x]

Валерим💪

[@KVGKQuake]

Val is in his Conn Smythe era

[@PeaceDuke777]

The guy who didn't score in 91 matches. Scored 4 goals in the final. Won the cup. Right now the best sniper in the playoffs

[@TheGreatCatsby-pd2tt]

Colorado with Big Val and Colorado without him are very different teams.

[@babydeer442]

I find it so weird that Valeri Nichushkin was bought out by the Stars, didn't score a single goal in their last season with them, and now he is a scoring threat every time he touches the ice.

[@sergeontheloose]

Dallas was simply not a good fit for him. Ruff buried him on the 4th line and made him a healthy scratch, relegated him to AHL most of the nights.

[@trentblakeslee6643]

I know right? the Avs are the LAD of Hockey All-stars and guys every one else gave up on who are now all-stars

[@patton303]

Gotta feel good for Val after everything he’s been through. He loves his team and teammates and he is clearly making up for what happened last year.

[@slavashahanin954]

Паровозик, который смог ! Go, Choo-Choo train !!! 😅

[@jordanmartin8066]

Last time, that i can remember, a tough guy scoring a hat trick in the playoffs was darren mcarty. This hat trick reminded me of that game👍

[@johnwu5656]

Why tough guy? he plays in the first line

[@trentblakeslee6643]

I mean Val is tough be he has soft hands I would not call him a goon by any stretch

[@marie2274]

On Nichushkin hat trick goal, Rantanen worked so hard to get that pass over to Nichushkin. Now that is teammates working together.

[@dmmj2774]

Молодчага, Валера 💪🔥🔥🔥

[@novislavjaich]

Isn't it his first Career hat trick?

[@DDWyss]

He spent too much time in Dallas.

[@tom_ford88]

Король пятака❤

[@TheGreatCatsby-pd2tt]

Да уж, попробуй его сдвинь.

[@user-om6yw8bp3y]

Валерон красава!О его пути можно кино снимать.

[@ariakin1]

Вэри Вэлл,Вэл!!!

[@achillesthecat1264]

Valera tu bog! 👍

[@IgsorZar]

Big Val, give us Conn Smythe, the Stanley Cup, and then you can go back to rehab))

[@user-rn2yu8rv7g]

😂😂😂

[@DB55748]

Let’s go avs

[@rt-rd5of]

Dude had 0 goals in 57 GP for Dallas in 2019.

[@SteveEagles]

First career hat trick *

[@joshualieberman1059]

The second greatest thing outta Chelyabinsk after NFKRZ LOL

[@user-lm1di5tw4m]

ВЭЛ, один из самых лучших на пятачке…!!!👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪👏👏👏

[@georgiikhaltarov9112]

Челяба ✊🏻Вэл

[@user-uh2ck7tu2f]

Охренеть... За Вэла обязательно стопку, за его хэттрик 👍💪🤝✊🏒🏒🏒

[@user-eo7ee7wj5y]

У меня получилось по рюмке за гол. Пора на реабилитацию😊

[@user-ii9hi4so9l]

Главное чтоб Валера опять стопку не накопил а то рехаб

[@b.t.356]

BIG AND I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH VAL

[@michaelwhitaker9719]

Hope he gets the help he needs.

[@LibDestroyer-nd7mi]

Thought peg should have put on a better performance.... They ain't being physical not creating turnovers like what happens gents. Colorado a really good team but so are the Jets . Something going on

[@Emma_2Banks]

It’s easy to see what’s going on. The jets weren’t prepared for playoff hockey, plain and simple

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

Correction, Winnipeg is a very good regular season team, Colorado is an elite playoff team. Anyone can win in the regular season, the special players know how to raise their games in the playoffs

[@georgiikhaltarov9112]

Вэл с хет Риком

[@Platnatimingbelt]

Winnipeg seranating Georgiev game one is a curse every game they've been pummeled its just Poetic at this point

[@jonah.donohue]

Jets let down Hellebuyck tonight like they do every night. At this point whatever happens, happens. I’m lost for words.

[@DDWyss]

Jets pushing Hellebuyck out of the plane without a parachute!

[@jenngoldberg8613]

W player

[@tumyp245]

ВАЛЕРААА

[@Mkby88]

Avs got Sams

[@trentblakeslee6643]

this, this is why the player assistance program, Go win one more for Chirs Simon RIP

[@PeaceDuke777]

Very Val

[@teamoe3]

First career *

[@user-zq5md4po7b]

Он как тетраэдр на пятаке. Вроде стоит, но к месту.

[@m4z3x]

no hats?

[@NathanLipetz]

Quite a few

[@abliteration1868]

Sportsnet cut off the part where it showed the ice pretty much submerged in hats and Nichushkin looking around with a big smirk, not surprised sportsnet doesn't want to actually highlight the big moment.

[@heathclark318]

Should not have been allowed to play at all this season... Whatever happened to the woman he assaulted?

[@darylwilliams7883]

Not that surprising for Toronto or Winnipeg. Teams who have a good regular season for the first time in years need to learn hard lessons in the playoffs before they can make a run. I expect the Oilers to get the farthest. They've been through this a few times now.

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

If not the Avs, I could see it being the Oilers vs Canes. Both teams have faced the hard lessons and heartbreak
