In the end, as a 45-year-old male who grew up a nominal-to-utterly-bitter enemy of all teams, I can testify from the bottom of my soul...
Yes. It is a good thing that the Philadelphia Eagles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Washington Capitals all won their respective league championships.
Also, kind of interesting and serendipitous, that the NHL team with the worst-ever record in an inaugural season in any sport would beat the team with the best-ever record in an inaugural season in any sport.
I also think, if you had to pick between being a Pens or Caps fan...would you choose winning for 8 years in a row, winning a bunch of cups and laughing at the futility of the other team...or would you choose the other team, who finally got the last laugh and won the big one in the end, exorcising themselves in the baptismal fountains while celebrating with crowds probably bigger than a presidential inauguration?
I mean, on June 12 2018, I'd choose to be a Caps fan in a heartbeat.
