Jersey Devils Can't Pulloff Upset; Where Is Bob?

I wanted a Stanley Cup Fix like boxing pulled off this past weekend.  The New Jersey Devils, down 3 games to 0, had stormed back to win two games while threatening to extend the Kings Stanley Cup drought to 46 years. 


Where the hell is Bob Arum when you need'em.   If Bob were promoting the Cup Finals it would've been the Devils winning game six, 6-1, and game seven would be billed as the "Game of the Century." I'm sorry Bob, but even your Hitchcock-like shadow seems to secretly whisper 'do not trust this man.'




Fortunately for NHL fans, New Jersey wise guys are too busy with boxing and basketball to buy a piece of the ice. The Devils playoff run was exciting to watch, but there can only be one legitimate champion.  Less than 24 hours ago the Los Angeles Kings, playing in the house that Kobe rebuilt, won their first ever Stanley Cup championship. Congratulations Kings!
