Recap of Game 1: To start off the Stanley Cup series the Blue Jackets and the Ottawa Senators went at it like caged animals, Pascal Leclaire made alot of desperate saves to keep his team in it then the Senators opened up the scoring, but it wasn't long till Antoine Vermette would tie the game against his former team in the Stanley Cup Finals, the score was 1-1 until the Jackets found a way to score against Leclaire in the 3rd making it 2-1 with little time remaining in the 3rd period, the Senators pulled their goalie hoping to tie the game with a man advantage, however it backfired on them and the Jackets scored another to end the game 3-1 with the Jackets leading the series 1-0

Recap of Game 2: In Game 2 the Jackets knew that if they could win they would have an unbelievable advantage going into Game 3, however the Senators knew that if they lose another it could be the end for their Stanley Cup hopes, this game would be the turning point for the Stanley Cup Finals, the Senators would open up the scoring in the 1st period only to be scored on 4 different times, Going into the 3rd the Senators knew that they only had 20 minutes of hockey to turn this game around, thus the Senators rallied and scored to unawsered goals making it a one goal game, Pascail Leclaire would not allow his former team with anymore goals showing the Jackets that they shouldn't have traded him, but Stone Mason held his own in the other end knowing that he can not allow any more goals, the Senators pulled Leclaire and despite many scoring chances by the Senators they could not get through Mason in the final minute ending the game 4-3 Jackets win leading the series 2-0

Recap of Game 3:Win or Go Home...that was what the Ottawa Senators said to each other before the game and in the other end the Columbus Blue Jackets wanted to win now not later, both teams were going toe-to-toe every goal was answered for, both Steve Mason and Pascail Leclaire were magnificent, going into the 3rd tied at 2 apiece but then the Blue Jackets came at the Senators with a unstoppable force scoring 3 goals back-to-back, from the score being 2-2 the Jackets just changed it to 5-2 with little time remaining in the 3rd, the Senators were stunned, shocked, speechless, and in disbelief seeing their chance at the Stanley Cup slip away....THAT IS IT THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS HAVE ONE THE STANLEY CUP....DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?!?!?!!?

28Kings28 you were really fun to play against the series score really doesn't do any justice to how close our games were, I'll see you in the next finals for the LGK Championship Belt

Watti I think you should interview me(promo)

Congrats King Henrik!

I'll have the tournament graphic finalized and I'm still waiting for the championship belt to arrive, there was a delay in the shipment of diamonds from Sierra Leone so it'll be another day or so.

Thanks to everyone for participating, the tournament looked like it was fun!

(kind of cool that the Blue Jackets won the cup in their first ever finals )
