COLUMN: Stanley Cup final should wrap up near the end of May
According to the solstice glitterati anyway. Longest day of the year and all that good stuff we learned in school but I’ve long forgotten and replaced with useless sports statistics.As of this writing, if you looked out the window, or wandered outside into the glorious Vancouver Island sunshine it feels like summer.
Things like BeachFest and Canada Day are just around the corner. In Parksville, sandcastles will soon return.The Edmonton Oilers are currently taking on the Florida Panthers in the quest to raise Lord Stanley’s prize chalice.That’s crazy late.I love me some hockey and would have played 365 days a year when I was a kid but at some point, it just seems a little offside.A look back at some of the finals when I was a kid showed them ending in mid-to-late May.
There used to be almost an unspoken agreement between everyone at the ballpark to not blurt out the hockey score until everyone could get home and watch it for themselves.Anyone who’s ever left their gear in the car to bake in the sunshine can attest the stank may never disappear. Like some sort of Seinfeld episode, you may just have to sell the car.
