It was a miraculous run that came up just short. The team that refused to quit lost to perhaps the only other team in the NHL that they couldn't beat in a seven game series (my opinion). That still doesn't help to soften the blow of being 2nd best. Still, I feel fortunate to have been able to be there to see the Stanley Cup awarded to the best team in the NHL this season. The Mellon Arena, 41 years old, saw the Cup awarded inside of it for the first time and perhaps the last. The odds are pretty good that it won't happen inside that building again until it is torn down after next season. Then again, with the promise of a new season looming just three months away and a team built to challenge for the championship for years to come, it could happen. I wouldn't lay money on it but I also wouldn't have put money on a Game 5 for the ages once we get down 3-2.
