These have been some two days in the life of a hockey fan. Yesterday, the city of Winnipeg has their hockey team formerly known as the Atlanta Thrashers, and now tonight is game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. I promise to get the eulogy for the Thrashers written some time soon, but for right now, it's all about the city of Winnipeg. Even though the team will be playing in an arena that holds 15,000 at the most, you can bet that the arena will be full for at least the first two years or so of the franchise. I will be talking a lot more about this deal, which has to be voted upon by the Board of Governors. Money says it's a foregone conclusion that it will be approved.
Now, for the real business at hand: the Stanley Cup Finals. I've waited the entire season for this, and a week extra just to see who the Canucks will be facing. Now, we know it will be the Boston Bruins, so if any Boston Bruins fans want to have any bets with me, I want to hear them. No monetary bets, though, just ones that will bring about humiliation.
One more thing, all bets with the anonymous name tag will not be accepted.
