One of my favourite hockey teams, the Vegas Golden Knights, are the 2023 Stanley Cup Champions! The VGK eliminated the Winnipeg Jets (*sob*), Edmonton Oilers (*sob*) and Dallas Stars to get to the final round, where they thoroughly dominated and defeated the Florida Panthers to win!
Here's my reigning Hockey Hair God, Captain Mark Stone, hoisting the Cup as his team wins it for the first time in VGK's brief franchise history.
If a Canadian hockey team can't win the Cup, then the next best thing is seeing a Good Winnipeg Boy like Mark Stone do it. And, as my post title reveals, I went above and beyond to ensure this Stanley Cup victory. In honour of Stone and the other three Manitoba players on the VGK's extensive Canadian roster, I wore my Lucky Winnipeg T-shirt each game of the final round.
Behold the T-shirt of Destiny --
You're welcome, boys!

Wow - you and your amazing witchy powers. I don't think Las Vegas has any idea of the debt that is owed to you. Perhaps they will let you come gamble for free.
You gave it all for your team... well, your team of last resort.
I see you are fishing for comments again?
Good job on using your fandom powers to help them win. It is quite magnanimous of you to cheer on a team that beat both of your hometowns. If only you had lived in Dallas you could have had the trifecta, but that would have required living in Dallas.
The hair goes that talk of a Stanley Cup again. Are you sure to say that drinking competition? And what's this hockey you speak of? Is that that long wooden thing that they hit that little ball with?
He kinda looks mad that they won. 😁
OMG Hockey!
I love that those boys are all big and burly, play very rough and they have a penchant for mohawks. And that's as much as I know about the game.
Go, VHK!
XOXO
I didn't even know it was that time of the year.
Hello Debra, You practically did the team's work for them. They should give you custody of the trophy. It will be the perfect centerpiece for Winnipeg Month altar. --Jim
Is hockey finally over for this year?
The team should recognize you for your service. Maybe hang your lucky shirt in the hockey hall of fame (if there is such a thing) or, at least, a photo of you wearing it.
@BootsandBraids -- Oh yes, the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame is located in Toronto. It is one of my goals to visit it someday. I agree that my Lucky Winnipeg T-shirt should be featured in it.
You can tell where people live by how they refer to sports -- Canadians tend to say hockey, not ice hockey. Northern fans refer to skiing, not snow skiing, and water skiing not just skiing when it's about water.
That said, it takes a burly bloke to raise the Stanley Cup! But I expect your t-shirt activities took that into account.
You are such a giver! Congrats on your second, or is it your third favorite team winning!?
Who would have imagined a desert city winning hockey? 🏒
Parnassus made an excellent point: the NHL should loan you the Stanley Cup for one of your Full Moon Altars....
The Vegas Golden Knights DESERVED to win this year as they worked THEIR ASSES OFF! And Marchessault winning the Conn Smyth Trophy for MVP was the cherry on top...
A tisket, a tasket,
Tkachuk blew a gasket.
And when the final whistle went,
The Panthers got their ass kicked!
GO GO VGK!
@ Tundra Bunny -- Hahahahaha, you should be the Official Poet of the NHL! Or at least of the VGK!
It would not be Gaylapalooza without them. It is traditional. It is "the custom of the country".
Hockey will soon be played all in 12 months. The beginning of the new season and the end of the old season will overlap. Traded players may be on both teams playing each other. They will get to pick, by period, which team to play for.
An awesome shirt. It surely helped!
Congratulations to the winning team.
I do like that T-shirt's retro artwork.
I believe in miracles.
Where you from, you sexy thing?
Nice T-shirt. I still wear some old Black Hawks shirts from their Stanley Cup days.
Amazing poster.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
I didn't know Lost Vegas had a hockey team.
It's that time of year again...The golden knights won??Our Hershey Bears are still fighting for the Calder Cup..
Sorry your team didn't make it, but hurray for the boy from Winnipeg!
Ice hockey is massive in my home city of Sheffield. Been a couple of times, loved it. I'm still more into cycling tho.
