Congratulations are in order for my friend @balticbadger.

You see, I just lost the #ssg hockey pool.

Oh man! I was so sure the Bruins would win at home, but no, the Blues, who were supposed to move to my home town in the 1980's, but I digress, Congratulations @balticbadger, you bested this Canadian.

And Congratulations to Ryan O'REILLY, Con Smythe trophy winner, I actually can't disagree with that at all! The best of the best deserve this most high honour. Seriously, no one deserves it more than Mr. O'Reilly, what a true champion and what a day, for the hardest working team in the NHL this year. Congrats Blues! Well done.

So, yes, my team lost, but... 3 players on the Blues are from my home, so I have mixed emotions. We're a small population, but it's where Hockey is made, and I'm always happy to see the young men killing it on the ice, no matter where they're from.

So I could be upset, that my hockey pool team just lost, except that, this year, Saskatchewan won the cup my friends.

Good job boys, that's why we worked you so hard all those years.

Keep your stick on the ice folks.

Blues win!

it was a good series!

I remember when you guys almost got the blues. Wasn't it for a few months and then the NHL pulled the rug out from under it?

Our Rink was a bit small, and they said that we didn't have the population to support a team!!?? Please, if we have a team, we'll fill the seats, I mean we fill the seats with professional Lacrosse! And nobody cares about Lacrosse!

Now we're looking at bringing up another team. I don't know, I've adopted the Vegas Golden Knights as my home team, lol.
