NHL fans had mixed emotions about Stanley Cup Final jersey patch worn by Lightning, Avalanche

More than people who follow other major sports, NHL fans might be the biggest sticklers regarding the details and aesthetics of their teams’ jerseys. Don’t get us wrong: Winning still assuredly comes first 99 percent of the time. But it’s only fair that the players strive to look great on the ice, too. Look good, play good, right?

They certainly lived up to that reputation during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Lightning and Avalanche (-1.5) on Wednesday night at Ball Arena.

With being the NHL’s official championship series, both squads had a usual special Stanley Cup Final patch stitched to their respective jerseys.

Of course, while some fans loved the tiny but massive detail for Tampa Bay and Colorado, others weren’t nearly as enamored with the 2022 edition of the Stanley Cup Final patch.
