Belichick Brings His Sideline Swagger to the Stanley Cup

Bill Belichick showing up around the Stanley Cup is the kind of crossover that makes hockey people raise an eyebrow and keep watching. The Final already has enough heat, but his presence adds a weirdly fitting layer of big-stage gravitas to the scene. NHL folks love a celebrity sighting, especially when it comes with the kind of championship resume that makes everybody else look mortal. This is the sort of rink-side moment that says the league knows exactly how to turn a trophy into a spectacle.
