Stanley's mug just doesn't bring me out as much. I will watch the playoffs until there are no Canadian-based Teams in it and I will cheer on the Canucks, but if it were up to me I would gladly see the Canucks continue to lose and the Lions continue to win.
As for difficulty in winning, one thing that seems interesting to me is the number of teams (modern era) that seem to be able to win the Stanley Cup versus the lack of repeat winners for the Grey Cup. I think FA and the latest trend of "renting" players in the NHL has made for greater opportunity for different teams to win the Stanley Cup. Whereas in the CFL, history seems to sees fewer key player movement amongst smaller teams, thus making it more difficult for teams to "breakthrough".
yikes!! glad you said it. although i feel pretty much the same way although i am not a die hard fan of any hockey team like i am the lions. i am sure there are many lionbackers who probably are as big if not bigger canuck fans who probably feel much different and i can understand their points of view on a stanley cup being more important. i am fairly confident that here, in edmonton, the fans would choose stanley cup, although i think a lot of the fans have become jaded with all the stanley and grey cups that feel it is the devine right of both teams to win every year!!
Thank you for everything you did for OUR Lions Mr.Ackles, we will never forget you...RIP
