Why do I like hockey? Because at the end of the battle, fiercely fought, the teams respect each other enough to congratulate one another. The coaching staffs congratulate the opposing teams. The teams both give compliments to their opponents. Defeat is felt, victory celebrated, but what reigns is the ability for gentlemen to shine. That is tremendously appealing and laudible.
My only question after the Avalanche victory is this: ”Will ’Makar’ replace ‘Orr’ in the crossword puzzles?”
Congratulations, Avalanche!
