The Stanley Cup Is In The Building

by Travis Hughes

This is what it's all about. It's why you're reading. It's why I'm writing. It's why we're all watching tonight. It's why all of this hockey stuff matters, from the smallest pond game in Nunavut to Game 6 between the Canucks and Bruins.

↵It’s all about the Stanley Cup, and if this moment happens tonight, it’ll be an awe-inspiring one no matter which team you root for. Yes, even the Bruins.

↵It’s the greatest trophy in pro sports, and it’s in the building tonight. Polished and ready to go. /chills
