André Burakovski was not allowed on the ice when Colorado decided the final series against Tampa.
But the title still tasted good for the 27-year-old who was there and celebrated on the ice afterwards.
- Of course it's hard to sit next to and be injured and not be able to help the team, but right now it's fantastic, he says.
He says that it is about a fracture that he suffered when Tampa's Swedish defender Victor Hedman shot the puck on his hand.
- We have to blame Victor Hedman, it was his fault, haha.
Burakovski tried to get ready to play and tested games every day after the operation, but it stopped him.
- Unfortunately it did not work.
But that's where it's.
It's tough in the playoffs and a lot of injuries.
It's shitty now!
