Throughout the Stanley cup finals I have had a quiet the dilemma. I have a particular dislike for the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey club (in my mind it is part of being such a big Buffalo Sabres fan) but I stand to win 3 cases of beer if they can defeat the Detroit Red Wings in game 7 tonight and win Lord Stanley’s cup, preventing it from staying in Detroit for another year.
If I had known it would come down to theses two teams once again I would not have made the bet because it would have meant routing for Pittsburgh to win (and that has been difficult for me). Heck, a few months ago I was hoping Pitt would not even make the playoffs let alone the finals. On top of that, the actual bet was that the Detroit Red Wings would not win the cup (so basically I had every NHL team vs the Red Wings) which meant real good odds (back then).
The truth is I can not in good conscience accept winnings from a bet where the Pittsburgh Penguins win the Stanley cup… It just goes against everything I find to be good in the hockey world… So in an attempt to please the Hockey gods I have come up with the following sacrifice should the Pittsburgh Penguins win the cup.
All of my winnings are to be donated to the Feltman’s Hog Roast this summer with the condition that Marc Lyon gets the first beer from each case (for supporting me). This will allow the winnings to be enjoyed by all.
Of course if Detroit wins I have to pay the 3 cases (which might be empty cases by the time I drown my sorrows on the way to the Hog Roast)
