Because it’s the Cup

There are few trophies in sport that inspire such feelings of awe as the Stanley Cup. Those who play for it and are able to lift it above their heads are a privileged few; those of us laypeople who get to come in contact with it didn’t take that hard road to earn it, but … Continue reading

Hello, Stanley, nice to meet you

You never forget the first one. It took 45 years for the Kings to win their first-ever Stanley Cup. Some fans waited that long. Some have waited their entire lifetimes. This Cup is for them.

The Perfect Storm: Hossa, Torres, Tears and Outrage

Nashville coach Barry Trotz said, “If they want a Ping Pong table in Nashville, we’ll get them one. It’s their toys, we have our toys. We’re OK. It’s not a big deal to us at all.” – USA Today Methinks thou doth protest too much Mr. Trotz. While completely plausible that a man with no … Continue reading
