For the first time in franchise history, the Clarence S. Campbell trophy, the trophy awarded to the winner of the NHL’s Western Conference, will be inside Bridgestone Arena.
It’s funny how in the NHL, winning the conference is not a big deal. In the MLB and NFL, teams go nuts after winning their conference playoffs. Baseball players toss on goggles and spray Bud Light (ew) in each other’s faces. NFL players bask in the glory of their accomplishments.
NHL players? Well, who cares about the conference? Everyone knows the real prize is the Stanley Cup.
