From John Buccigross at ESPN:
Game 7 equals …
• The bond of father and son, their shared-logo T-shirt and their shared stomach of nerves as the puck is about to be dropped Friday night. Stomachs in Pennsylvania and Michigan will feel as though they just ate five pounds of grapes.
• The pride and passion of two rust-belt cities mortgaging a portion of their summer moods pending the result of a 60-minute hockey game. Whoever wins Friday night, it will matter much to the proud and soulful people of Detroit and Pittsburgh. The Cup will feel warm and welcomed at either victory party.

IMO, Bucci is a lot like Mitch Albom. A lot of the time, he can come off as rather pompous, cooler-than-thou (Mitch actually does holier-than-thou, but whatever) and generally irritating.
But then there are times like this, when he just flat out nails it...and you have to give it up to him.
Good stuff.
