The Stanley Cup Playoffs are right around the corner, meaning long, straggly beards are in and teeth are out, literally. If you have never watched hockey before, now is the time. Deemed the most difficult championship trophy to win, the Stanley Cup is a goldmine of tradition. Players have fought through stitches mid-game, torn ACLs and punctured lungs just to have a shot at holding the Cup.
Only 16 teams get a shot in the playoffs, meaning sorry Chicago Blackhawks fans, it’s time to hop on a different band wagon for the playoffs.
