No one of authority has even floated this idea, nor is there any precedent for something like this happening. If anything, the precedent from 1919 says to declare no one the Cup champion for 2020.

And that’s the way it should be. No one, but especially people of Boston and the Bruins, should want to be handed the Cup in such a backdoor manner. They call Boston the “City of Champions” for a reason, and none involve winning titles by default. What a gross way it would be to send off Zdeno Chara into possible retirement by having a brief ceremony at City Hall with commissioner Gary Bettman handing the Bruins captain the Cup and then handing it to whichever teammates are still in town before holding a parade where spectators are still banned because of the pandemic.

Even if life is back close to normal when the above scene unfolds, it would still be against every ounce of competitiveness in each every one of our guts to accept the Stanley Cup without going through the rigors of the playoffs. The Cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports, a three-month slog that requires a team to win 16 games while battling injury and mental fatigue, traveling North America and dealing with different climates and glaring media attention.

It’ll be bittersweet for David Pastrnak to share the Maurice Richard Trophy with Alex Ovechkin, and for Tuukka Rask to possibly accept the Vezina Trophy if he’s impressed voters up to this point more than Winnipeg’s Connor Hellbuyck. But individual awards based on regular season performance always come with the caveat that the players’ teams might not have finished their seasons the way the wanted.

A Cup without a Cup final would feel way worse than that. Luckily no one is really considering this notion.

Back in 1919, Seattle refused to accept the Cup even as there was no way for Montreal to compete. The Bruins, you can be sure, would do the same, and would be right to do it.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
