Bill, betting will be difficult as I am "sands" rich, cash poor. Nonetheless, I'll definitely be rooting for the Oilers, even if it is July before Lord Stanley's (winter) cup is won. "When Arthur and Algy Stanley asked their father to purchase a cup to be awarded to the champions of the Amateur Hockey Association in Montreal, they could not have imagined that their father’s $48.67 Silver Bowl would become the most sought after Canadian Athletic Award. The Cup, named after Lord Stanley of Preston, the Govenor-General of Canada, was first awarded in 1893 to the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association... On March 22nd, 1894, the first Stanley Cup contest was played. A one game playoff between the Montreal Hockey Club and the Ottawa Capitals. 5,000 eager fans paying 25 cents each for rush seats and 75 cents for reserve seats watched Montreal defeat the Capitals 3-1." bestcdn.com Now that we're older Bill, I'm thinking that reserved seats are more appropriate for us. I wonder how much they are now? How many barrels (40 US gallons unrefined) of crude constitutes a seat to the cup for one game, not to mention possibly seven? Makes me think that fossil fuel is still very cheap!
