Вот этот настоящий мужик Виола, он пошёл против системы и дал команду своей команде хватит пофеерил Мак и хватит заберите мой кубок, мы шли к этому 31 год когда этот супер пупер ещё не родился, молодец, ему это будет стоит но он сделал свой выбор, он не мог предать болелщиков, игроков, и так им отдал 3 игры чтоб те заработали на этом ну КС забрал БРАВО, таких мужиков с железными нервами мало, удачи всем, спасибо за ПОБЕДУ.

[@cincyborn]

True except for a bounce, well deserved Panthers

[@esotericveritas]

but thats hockey - its truly a game of inches

[@beholden1663]

Does the owner of a teams children also get their name engraved on the Stanley Cup?

[@Manu-iz7zr]

I don't think so, probably just the last name.

[@esotericveritas]

i think by name he meant their last name - their family name
