As it is written, the NHL has waited the requisite 40 days and 40 nights, and thus we prepare for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. I’m sorry, just one moment, let me check those numbers. Six days?! This is going to be a long Summer.
Until then, we can sit in front of our glowing living room squares and watch what should have been a triumphant series with shoulders rounded and eyes wet, hoping that a similar misery is about to befall the St. Louis Blues. There seems to be no love in the greater hockey world for the Boston Bruins either, and it’s understandable: why root for a team that won just eight years ago, and a city that has already won four World Series and six Super Bowls since 2000?
