After one of the greatest Stanley Cup Conference tournaments in recent memory, here at MeiGray we know one thing ... We will win our second straight Stanley Cup!!
One year after the Boston Bruins brought MeiGray its first Stanley Cup champion since 2004, when the NHL-MGG Program worked with the Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning and the Stanley Cup Finalist Calgary Flames, MGG has two teams in the Final again. It's the first time in eight years I will be running back and forth between locker rooms in the Final.
And we couldn't be prouder of the playoff runs of the Los Angeles Kings and New Jersey Devils.
I will be at Prudential Center all day today, authenticating and logging the Set 1 Final jerseys that will be worn by the Kings and Devils.
For those of you not familiar with MGG's Stanley Cup Final procedure, MGG program teams wear two new sets of home and two new sets of road jerseys in the Stanley Cup Final, all with the unique Stanley Cup Final patch.
Set 1 Final in each color is worn by the program teams until one team in the series reaches three wins. Once a potential clinching game occurs, program teams switch to Set 2 Final. And that set, in each color, is retained by the team.
I can confirm that both teams have prepared an extra jersey for presentation to the Hall of Fame: Kings captain Dustin Brown and Devils captain Zach Parise will wear an additional jersey in warmup only to be donated by the teams and MGG to the Hall of Fame for their annual Stanley Cup display.
After the game, I will be in both locker room areas confirming the jerseys worn throughout the game, and completing our normal post-game authentication.
Stay tuned here throughout the Finals, as I will try and report on all the great jersey nuances that will occur throughout the Stanley Cup Final.
Good luck to the Devils and Kings. Here's hoping it's a great series.
