10 best moments from the thrilling 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs

The road to the Stanley Cup was a wild one this year.

It’s hard to believe the 2021-22 NHL season is over and the Stanley Cup has been awarded.

Sunday night saw the Colorado Avalanche hoist the Stanley Cup for the first time since 2001 in a triumphant celebration of sports joy. Sure, the Stanley Cup may have a few dents in it now, but hey it’s nothing the keeper of the Cup can’t fix, right?

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are the best part of a NHL season, no contest. And this year’s postseason may have been the best hockey’s had to offer in years, from the wild in-game swings to the pure talent level on display from the NHL’s finest.

Now that we’ve put yet another NHL season to rest, let’s take a look back at the 10 best moments from the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs that we’ll remember for years to come.

One bettor correctly picked every NBA and NHL Game 7 as part of a wild seven-leg parlay

Game 7 x 7 = pay me my money.

The best two words in sports are “Game 7,” especially for one bettor.

In a weekend where there were a whopping seven Game 7s between the NBA and NHL, Instagram user @stevexnugget decided to try his hand at a parlay involving each of them. According to a screenshot of his ticket obtained by DraftKings, he bet $60 on a moneyline parlay and correctly guessed the winner of each game for a payout of $4,322.99.

That’s five chalk picks: Hurricanes over Bruins, Oilers over Kings, Rangers over Penguins, Flames over Stars and Celtics over Bucks. And two upsets: Lightning over Maple Leafs and Mavericks over Suns.

This parlay also required a little patience, as it took place over two days. Three of the games were on Saturday, with the first starting at 4:30 p.m. ET, and the other four took place on Sunday beginning around 3:30 p.m. and not ending until well after midnight.

It was well worth the wait for Steve, who probably only wishes he put a little more on the parlay. Maybe he’ll go with $70 for the next round of Game 7s.
