Hockey Night in Our Basement

May 1, 2020 12:00 PM

With the real NHL season postponed, an Ontario family of hockey fans decided to recreate the season and the excitement of the Stanley Cup playoffs in their basement. Highlights include the humming of the classic Hockey Night in Canada theme, 2-on-2 game clips, player interviews, colour commentary, and studio visits from some fans who are real animals (like Tuna the cat). Game Five right here if you just want to see who takes home the Cup.

It's so sweet that they don't think the Leafs would get dismantled by the Bruins in some new and exquisitely painful way in their fantasy Stanley Cup play-offs.

There's no chance I would see that match up.

Two least favourite teams in the league, ugh. (The one because I can feel the owner's hand grabbing my wallet to pay for his new arena, the other because Leafs, obviously).

If they want real heartache, have the San Jose Sharks lose in the finals.


...but that's not happening this year. Not because of COVID-19. :-(

They need to engage in THUNDEROUS FREAKING BOOING of Gary Bettman at the conclusion of this, no matter who wins, if they want to be realistic.
