UPDATE: Stanley Cup and new 131 connection


As the playoff picture is now complete, I went through the rosters and found the NY Islanders have a guy with a January 31st birthday.

Mikhail Grabovski, has been in the league since 2006. He hasn't won a Stanley Cup yet. Could this be the year for him?

This is the 99th Stanley Cup. There's a buzz around that there will be some connection to Wayne Gretzky, (his number was 99).
Gretzky did have a bit of a rivalry with the Islanders in the 80's.
His Edmonton Oilers lost to them in 1983.
In 1984, Gretzky and his team got revenge and defeated the Islanders in the Stanley Cup Final, 4 games to 1.

Let's see how it pans out.

  4. I guess Liverpool are going to win the Europa League this year, after that miracle on Thursday.
