John Buccigross’ final column of the season. From ESPN:
As fans of the game who give our money and time to the sport, this should make us proud. Nothing comes easy or cheap on the road to the Stanley Cup. Our champion is 100 percent deserving. This is also true for NCAA hockey, Canadian Junior, Minnesota high schools and every hockey trophy from mite to beer leagues.
Staying away from “boom thinking” has kept the Red Wings consistently excellent from top to bottom. Their portfolio has netted four Stanley Cups since 1997. They live in an old, rundown ranch, but they have no mortgage payments and, thus, live below their means.

I’m so sick of Buccigross’ plugs for his book.
Half of his “Mother of All Mailbags” is full of suck-ups that tell him how great the book is, just so they get their email posted online (ooooooh, the glory!).
I’m not going to read or buy it because of his shameless plugs - and admitting that they’re shameless plugs doesn’t make them any more tolerable.
I hope Espn.com gets royalties from his book sales.
