Congratulations to the Blues on their first Stanley Cup victory in history. It has been 52 years of long and unfruitful existence before tonight. It’s only fitting they did it in a season in which they were dead last only three months before the end of the regular season. That’s a story we’ll tell future hockey fans when we’re old and gray.
And congratulations to Dom for getting to do what only some folks at this blog were able to do, a long time ago. One day, I hope we Islanders fans (all of us, but especially those of us too young to ever see or understand the Isles’ Cup wins) get to enjoy the same celebration — the kind of celebration the Blues were having on the ice, while the guy working the censor button took a coffee break.
