Its been nearly 48 hours since the championship's been won and I'm still not exactly sure what to say.
Crazy emotions for me going from losing my team a year ago, joining the Storm fan base and watching them defeat my old team for the Championship is something else.
Its funny also the difference in thinking from the start of the season.
At the start of the year I knew Robby Fabbri was very good but wasnt 100% sure he could be a #1 centre at least this season, good thing I dont make my money as a scout.
A lot of people, myself included figured bringing in Justin Nichols was a good start but that he wasnt the answer. I bought in with Nichols a bit earlier than most I think and was quick to defend him all season. I still wouldnt say he is the best goalie in the league but he was good enough. He had some fantastic games during the playoffs, especially in the London series.
I thought Kerby Rychel may have won himself the MVP when he scored those 2 goals to win the title but at the same time I can't argue with Robby Fabbri winning it. Zack Mitchell also would have been a good choice.
I know many people may think I need to keep things in perspective here but considering I'm a mid 20's guy with no wife or kid I think I can say in confidence that Friday was easily one of the happiest moments of my life.
Just like when McGinn scored the winner in Game 3 I was jumping up and down like a 4 year old with my knees hitting my gut.
Again its hard to put into words so I will just shame some of the pictures I took.
