Never have I ever been so happy for one of my predictions to be wrong. Seriously, congratulations Blues. You clearly deserved this moment, this victory. I'd give my commiserations to the Bruins and their supporters but the city of Boston (and indeed the New England area) already have a World Series and a Super Bowl trophy to take the pain away.

P.S. Here's the now appropriate song. Sorry Boston, guess that's why they call them the Blues.

Congratulations, Idz. Shame there's no physical reward but maybe buy yourself a beer or something and treat that as a reward. Also, with the Raptors beating the Warriors to win the NBA Finals, we've had the best 48 hours of sport possible. Too bad Portugal won the European Nations League so it couldn't have been a good week but oh well.

Agreed. A guy on my Discord server was spamming it in all the channels because they won but we all pretty much let him off because of it.

To any Blues fans: You can have that song. After all, I got it from a sign from the 1984 FA Cup final, so I can't imagine there being some sort of ownership.

I feel this is a bad time to mention that I like the Warriors and have been following them since Klay was drafted. And unlike Tree i know that the league is not "unfucked"

Congratulations Blues and Idz on a job well done!

Did anyone bet on Blues? If you guys did, I'm sorry that I didn't see it, but let me know, and I'll adjust accordingly!

Final tally:
Idzeq - 18 (Islanders, Blues, Bruins, Stars, Sharks, Canes, Sharks, Blues, Blues, Bruins)
Naz - 13 (Bruins, Sharks, Bruins Blues, Bruins)
Polska - 11 (Islanders, Bruins, Sharks, Blues, Bruins, Blues)
Elejamie - 6 (Bruins, Sharks, Sharks, Blues)
Tarsonis - 5 (Avalanche, Sharks, Canes)
Shof - 5 (Bruins, Sharks, Blues)
Viridus - 4 (No picks first round, Sharks, Canes)

If only Naz or Polska would've picked the Blues :P

They were in a sticky situation but still they get fleeced pretty bad. Not only did they trade pending UFA Hayes to the Jets for Lemieux and a first round draft pick, but they then traded that pick and a bottom pair D back to them for Trouba. It’s the kind of deal people dream about

Joe Thornton is saying he'll probably still play for 5-10 more years. Hopefully he'll get a couple of Stanley Cup victories in that time.

Not to mention Gordie Howe played a season for the Whalers when he was in his fifties. I would bring up the whole Detroit Vipers thing in '97 but that seemed more commemorative rather than an actual game of ice hockey he took part in.

And best of luck to him, although unless he moves to a better team or if the Sharks carry on the trend we've been getting these past couple of playoffs I have doubts that'll happen. I would compare it to the UK trying to win the Eurovision Song Contest but that would fit better if he was on the Leafs instead.
