Unlike the NBA, the Stanley Cup Finals had the decency to go to 7 games
So I heard a great new joke. The Mayor of Dallas declared today "LeBron James Day" so everybody gets to quit working 12 minutes early.
So today is it. Sadly or otherwise, hockey season comes to an end tonight, with either the Boston Bruins or the Vancouver Canucks lifting the Stanley Cup.
This is more important than any other sport. One of the main reasons being that the Stanley Cup is the most unique and iconic trophy in all of sport. The NFL makes a new Lombardi trophy for the Super Bowl champ every year, as does the NBA. Nobody even knows the name of the trophy they hand out to winners of the world series (Hint: It's a lousy name). The World Cup trophy is comparatively tiny (14 inches tall) and the winning teams' names are engraved on the bottom, where you can't even see them, and when you win the PGA Masters, you get a green jacket. These are all nonsense.
When it comes to a truly historical championship, nothing comes close to lifting Lord Stanley's Cup, and one team is mere hours away from doing just that. Make sure you're watching.
