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.
ReplyDeleteYou gave it all for your team... well, your team of last resort.
ReplyDeleteI see you are fishing for comments again?
ReplyDeleteGood 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?
ReplyDeleteHe kinda looks mad that they won. 😁
ReplyDeleteOMG Hockey!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHello 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
ReplyDeleteIs hockey finally over for this year?
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDelete@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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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!?
ReplyDeleteWho would have imagined a desert city winning hockey? 🏒
ReplyDeleteParnassus made an excellent point: the NHL should loan you the Stanley Cup for one of your Full Moon Altars....
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteIt would not be Gaylapalooza without them. It is traditional. It is "the custom of the country".
ReplyDeleteHockey 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.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome shirt. It surely helped!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winning team.
ReplyDeleteI do like that T-shirt's retro artwork.
ReplyDeleteI believe in miracles.
ReplyDeleteWhere you from, you sexy thing?
Nice T-shirt. I still wear some old Black Hawks shirts from their Stanley Cup days.
ReplyDeleteAmazing poster.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
I didn't know Lost Vegas had a hockey team.
ReplyDeleteIt's that time of year again...The golden knights won??Our Hershey Bears are still fighting for the Calder Cup..
ReplyDeleteSorry your team didn't make it, but hurray for the boy from Winnipeg!
ReplyDeleteIce hockey is massive in my home city of Sheffield. Been a couple of times, loved it. I'm still more into cycling tho.
