I agree with you Scott. Remember WE are the one that pay for the tix and 
whatnot. This is OUR team. Last year that OUR Cup as much as it was there. 
Besides, what other fan (hockey fans in general) do you know stays up till 
the wee hours of the morning (reverting back to the Cup Finals) just to be 
disappointed and do it all over again the next night. You can say what you 
want but it sure feels like a WE at times.
