Whether a Stanley Cup win or a Covid Cup win.

 

I know many won't agree with me but i think this will be the hardest Cup ever to win for the circumstances they had to endure.

 

The stoppage after 70+ games and then to have to go through this 24 team tournament, in a bubble atmosphere with no fans and nowhere to really go when not playing and have live and eat and stay with these guys for what may seem like the longest road trip in the history of sports. 

 

Maybe we'll have to put an asterisk by every other Cup besides this one....the hardest ever to win...IMHO.

I totally subscribe to this. That aspect was also highlighted by some panelists and former players on TVA and RDS network.
