TGIF- Hockey Game 6 in Edmonton Tonight.

Have a great game and a superlative weekend…

The heritage of Lord Stanley’s cup is tied to the west coast and his Namesake park in Vancouver. The cup includes the Vancouver Millionaires from 1915, and existed as a team from 1911- 1926, only having the cup for one season.

Governor General’s cup

Lord Stanley was the Governor general of Canada from 1888 to 1893 and presented the cup to be used with his name. Fredrick Charles Stanley was the 17th Earl of Derby.

The first team to have the cup to demonstrate the virtues expected to have the cup for a year was the Amature Athletic Assocation of Montreal. The Cup is said to be the hardest cup to aquire in all of professional sport.

Good Luck ☘️

On this Day: March 22nd 1894

The first Stanley Cup Canadian hockey game is played.

Ehrhoff and Rome an opinion

It was good to see the two hockey players back in the game last evening. The win at the last moment was thrilling.

There was an evangelical calling for the end of the world to end on May 21, one day after the follow up of the legally required census here in Canada. When Ronald Regan was elected in 1980 the fringe said  that he was doomed as all presidents elected in a zero year have died in office. A similar dynamic to date pickers for the return of the good lord. Any serious theologian realizes that the imminent return of the lord is just that, imminent and made to remain that way for compliance to human rights and conditions by those that would abuse those things.

You can still meet your maker at any time crossing the street or in your bathtub slip and fall. However when Christian Ehrhoff and Aron Rome where taken out of the Canucks line up in the Western final,  I quipped about them being raptured out to make way for Armageddon and that must be the Stanley cup final.

We can have fun with that, it was just a coincidence ,however Revenue Canada is and the bankruptcy people are fond of using 666 and 007 in there scrutiny of assets. And the census date was a bit of a stretch.

Remember World War One was touted as being that war to end all wars by reasonable people. and things can easily get out of hand in the superstition realm. However they are back and playing well and the poetic remains as well as the former Governor General,  Lord Stanley, the initiator of the NHL’s prized cup with his name on it”s admonition .:” That it be enjoyed by all colors, creeds and customs for all time” as he dedicated another work the 1000 acres of park in the  City of Vancouver.   We can assume the same sentiment apples.

Superstition exists and it is a binding thing not helpful in the enjoyment of life, it has no place in hockey or work life as it is fear based.That is  something the charter of rights and freedoms restrains credible entities such as government from employing. No you didn’t do anything wrong to cause a loss unless it relates directly to the ability to perform ,like negligence of a duty that people rely on.

Improve your luck, look both ways crossing the street to Rogers Arena, and cheer the team on  giving emotional support to a team that is less dependant on it then preceding ones , they are champions.

The 7 game contests in  the finals is enough of an exposure to degrade to the mean all of the random inputs and luck to the standard of the skill in the teams. The Stanley cup is up for its 95th awarding since it went pro in 1914/15. It was not awarded in 1919 because of the spanish flu and 2005  because of a players lockout dispute, that was unlucky, however it has degraded to the mean  of being a much wanted symbol of hockey excellence;over time….
