Can’t really say that I’m a huge hockey fan, but like most Boston residents, I’ve been watching a bit over the past few weeks during the playoffs. I tried listening on the radio on my way home from work or something, but to be honest, I couldn’t keep any of the names straight enough to know what was really going on. Wanted to pick up a jersey to show my support, but after seeing the $400 price tag, I thought again.

In any case, they won, after a nice 7-game series (which I’m sure you know unless you’ve been living under a rock). Parade is Saturday some time, which means I’ll be fleeing the city ASAP to avoid the worst traffic nightmare of my life.

Interesting fact about the Stanley Cup that I didn’t know: all players since the introduction of the cup (give or take a few years) all get their name engraved on the cup each year. The top part (the actual cup) is the only original part of the trophy, with the engraved rings having been replaced and added to as space was needed.
