I wonder how players of similar ilk feel about being part of a Stanley Cup winning team? I would feel a little sheepish lifting the cup knowing I contributed next to nothing to the championship. Hard to say you're a legit Cup champion.
Yeah, I guess the Black Aces have been with the team through the whole run and everything, so maybe they feel like they're fully part of the team, but I find it silly to see guys like Butler and Jordan Nolan out on the ice in full gear celebrating like the players who actually played the games. Sure celebrate the win, but wear your suit.
