I've gone to sleep and woken up a couple times since what I think was Wednesday night, so unless my dreams are getting super meta, I think I'm starting to believe this is real life.

At some point, we're going to discuss what names get engraved on the Cup. There's a limit of 52; here's who I think goes on based on what teams have done in the recent past. In no particular order:
I'd say those 47 are safe bets; 1-23 are automatic, 24-44 are pretty much a given. That leaves 5 spots. My guesses if they use all 52:
-- They petition to get Mackenzie MacEachern added [29 games played, so 11 short of 40 + 0 games played in the playoffs, but could have played 41 games if he had dressed for every game he was up and he didn't play down in the minors after being called up] and that's successful. MacEachern is the only possible player petition that would be successful.
-- Rich Jankowski, Senior Director of Team Services
-- Glen Wesley, Development Coach
-- Dave Rogalski, Development Coach
-- Todd Mitchell, VP/GM of Enterprise Center
I don't think any of the amateur scouts get on the Cup. [Sorry Tkachuk, Wallin, Nemec, et. al.] I also don't think Bobby Plager gets on the Cup, even if they try to petition. [Sorry, Bobby.]

Wouldn't that be a twist. "We're short a name of who we feel like we can get engraved on the Cup, so we're going to raffle off the last spot; if you as a longtime fan would like your name engraved on the Cup for all-time, tickets will be on sale at .........." Honestly, I can't believe someone hasn't suggested that on the main boards somewhere. Or, maybe someone did and it was [rightfully] blown to pieces by the rest of the posting crowd.
Truthfully, when the engraving is finally done and unveiled you should get a really good photoshop done of the image to insert your name on there in the correct spot. I would applaud it.

You turned your back on the Blues in the first round. You literally had another team's logo as your avatar while the Blues were still battling their way to a Stanley Cup victory. Benedict Dizee!

Gotta say...really admire the way Vladi is celebrating the SC....home with his family and then made an impromptu appearence on the parade route looking as fresh as a daisy. Lots of kids probably keep you off the wild party train. 
Anyway, the parade route campers really appreciated Vladi's appearence.

Congrats to the St Louis Blues for winning The Stanley Cup ! 
If they petitioned to have a fans name put on the cup, gotta believe it would be Laila.

A little late but congrats coming from this Pens fan who always had a soft spot for the Blues going way back to the MacInnis/Demitra days. Plus seeing your team rip the heart out of Boston fans was a bonus too.
Soak it up, you're going to be on cloud 9 all summer.

Out of all the small things about this I love, near the top is how juicy Sharks and Bruins are going to be from now on. They basically became our 3rd and 4th biggest rivals from these playoffs and for once we are the ones who get to puff our our chests a bit.
Looking back, the only way this Cup win could have been better is if we dispatched the Blackhawks in round 1 instead of the Jets. The Bruins are even my most hated team in the East.
I guess what would have been cooler would have been something like
R1: Blackhawks
R2: Stars
R3: Sharks
R4: Red Wings

Yeah that would be the real one, just disregard mine.
I forgot we could be on the other side of the bracket in the first 2 rounds.

Amen to that!
Most hated team for me right now.
I just hope some of their bandwagon doesn't hop over to the Blues bandwagon. We don't want them.
