Was anyone really interested in this year’s Stanley Cup finals? Out west, I don’t know any true BC’er that would even reluctantly cheer for any team from Ontario. And Anaheim? I mean they’re practically Canadian with something like 19 players, but why cheer for an American team when they only average a 500,000 person TV viewership nationwide? What’s the point?

Granted I love hockey, but in the summer time, there’s got to be something or someone to cheer for and this year didn’t offer anything in my opinion (and with viewership down 22% from a year ago, apparently I’m not the only one).

I guess I can take comfort knowing its the first time a west coast team has won the cup since the Victoria Cougars (then of the WCHL) beat the Montreal Canadians back in 1925, some 82 years.

Thanks for “bringin’ it home boys”.
