and the TV ratings went into the shitter along with the quality of the game. if my team was in it the quality wouldn't matter much, winning the Cup is everything.
i really hope the Kings win, the Devils don't even really play for a city, and have already won a bunch of Cups playing dull hockey.

I disagree that the games are boring now. Every blocked shot is like that scene in every single war movie known to mankind where the guy valiantly dives on the live grenade and saves his brothers at arms from losing their arms and legs and head like he just did. That stuff never gets dull. That is the mold from which heroes are made. And heroes are needed to meet the challenge of the pure villiany that goes on, hacking, slashing, and chipping away, the goons need to be brought low. Winning the Cup is bought with blood, sweat, and tears, playing through pain and injury that would sideline a player in any other sport but the long shot of both those teams being in there is a story unto itself.
