Ironic, a Canadian team wins the NBA Championship and an American team wins the NHL Championship. You can't script this.
That makes no sense but whatever
The injuries make next season so much more interesting now. The West is going to be wide open. Doubt the Rockets blow everything up now and Kawhi will be at the clippers. If the lakers get AD suddenly there is 5 or 6 teams that will be thinking they can come out of the west. Over in the East it will be the bucks, the nets, the celtics and philly depending how the off season plays out
Both their first ever championship, The Blues full of Canadian players and Toronto Rapters full of U.S players, but to me, the bigger story is The Blues by far. Here's why.
1. Jan 8th they were LAST in the league.
2. GM had his hand hovering over the button to trade its stars, but held on.
3. Had a DRAMATIC playoff run, consisting of a three goal third period comeback when on the ropes vs The Jets, double OT GAME 7 victory over The Sharks, hung on in a rough series to 7 GAMES vs Boston and won IN BOSTON to win the cup.
*Plus the whole story of that kid with bone marrow problems and having the team fly her over to game 7, and her getting to see her team win and kiss the cup* TEARS!
Now THAT is a movie in the making.

It's official. Anthony Davis to the Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and 3 first round picks. Is LeBron on his way to another championship??
They need role players that will mesh with LBJ, which hasn't been easy in the past. I wouldn't even call them favorites in the West yet.
That's a lot to give up. Essentially 6 first round picks for AD.
Pelicans seriously about to have Zion, Ball, Ingram, and like, Jarrett Culver next year. They're easily the team with the brightest future at this point and could be the next great power in the West in 3-4 years if even 3 of those 4 players meet their potential.
This seems like a decent trade for both sides. NO got as much as they possibly could for Davis and LA picks up the next face of their franchise post-Lebron. It'll be interesting to see how the Lakers round out their roster in the off-season though.
Some Vegas odds makers already have LA as the odds on favorite for the title next year. Like slow down y'all.
There are rumors already that Ball doesn't wanna be in New Orleans and that Chicago is interested and willing to move their first round pick. So NO could end up with the 1st, 4th, and 7th pick. They could have a potential starting five of Coby White, Jrue Holiday, De'Andre Hunter, Zion, and Julius Randle. Bench is up in the air but thats a great young lineup with a real underrated leader in Jrue is he stays healthy.
