Some people don’t like hockey because their brain can’t keep up to the speed of the game. So much talent needed, it’s so physical, the dudes are tough as heck.  NHL expansion into non traditional hockey markets has made the USA better at the sport and that growth is surely to continue. Every year more and more Americans kids say “that’s the game for me, the others are too slow”  Either team could’ve won.

I sure wished we had ice hockey in school while I was growing up. One of my old linemates played with the University of Maine Black Bears. I was not as good, but I did receive an offer to play with Colby College in Maine. (I think that is what it was called, was 32 years ago lol)

So even hockey guys don’t know what they won ?! The game. Both teams playing for their flag. You could tell that the trophy meant nothing. The turmoil between the US and Canada made it a big deal. Bettman lucked out with this timing.
