Assemble your own Stanley Cup gift basket
The NHL’s Stanley Cup championship series begins tonight and it’s something of a broadcaster’s dream. The New York Rangers take on the Los Angeles Kings, and the clash of teams from the top two TV markets should be good for ratings.
Plus, it’s a pretty rare match up. There hasn’t been a New York vs. L.A. championship in any major sport in more than 30 years. Last time, the Dodgers beat the Yankees in baseball’s World Series in 1981.
So it seems appropriate that the Governors of both states would place a friendly bet on the outcome of the game. Though, what California Gov. Jerry Brown and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have at stake is, well, pretty lame.
Nevertheless, if you want to join in on the fun, here’s what you’ll need (and what it will cost you) to make your very own gift basket should you lose to your rival coast:
