Its Been a Little Bitter-Sweet

As the Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers in six games, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter-sweet. I had an idea that Chicago would do as much since I was asked the question of who would win the cup a few months back. Thats where the sweet part comes in. I pretty much knew inside myself that Chicago would be the team to beat since even before the Winter Classic marked the New Year.

But that doesn't help the bitter feeling I got seeing the Flyers in the Finals and thinking: "What if that were the Bruins right there fighting for their chance to hold the cup?" Again, that was just a huge what if. It would been so amazing to see the Bruins to even be in the finals, after the season they had. But after their unfortunate loss to the Flyers in the second round, all the finals have been were mainly bitterness.

Chicago winning the Stanley Cup, to me, was the only sweet part of the finals, after the B's making it past the first round and, of course Marc Savard's amazing goal. It made me good to know that I knew enough about the sport to successfuly predict who would win, and also that one team I was rotting for was able to win. It was just a shame it wasn't my #1 team. At this point, all I can say is congratulations to the Blackhawks, and good luck next year.
