The Colorado Avalanche's championship run caught the attention of the White House.
President Joe Biden congratulated the Avalanche on their Stanley Cup victory Monday, the day after they defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. On his Twitter account, President Biden called the Avalanche's Stanley Cup run "a comeback story for the ages, and one that has made your community so rightfully proud."
Congratulations to the Colorado @Avalanche for their first Stanley Cup win since 2001 — a comeback story for the ages, and one that has made your community so rightfully proud.
The Avalanche overcame a 1-0 deficit against the Lightning in Game 6 to clinch the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years. In a few short months, the Avalanche will get to thank the President for the kind words in person, when they visit the White House.
