It was a compelling Stanley Cup finals. I like the way it ended - with the road team winning Game 7. I hate those series where only the home team wins, which had been the case the first six games.
It was terrific that Boston goalie Tim Thomas, the former Detroit Viper castoff and ex-Davison High School player, won the Conn Smythe Award. He is a truly unique player. Great character.
But what I enjoyed most of all was NHL commissioner Gary Bettman getting booed so loudly by the fans in Vancouver that you couldn't even hear what he had to say. Finally, the public dissatisfaction with this clueless leader of the league just let loose.
The one thing I do regret: It was in Vancouver, not Detroit.
Anybody holding their breath and waiting for Bettman to make the right decision about moving the Red Wings to the Eastern Conference where they belong?
Me neither.
