    You missed the story of the Montreal Canadiens, on the way to a cup victory party, stopping to change a flat tire. They put the cup on the side of the road and then drove away without it. When they returned, the cup was sitting there, where they'd left it.

    Interestingly enough, there are three versions of the Stanley Cup! - The original 1892 bowl was retired in 1962 and displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto - The 1963 authenticated “Presentation Cup” which is the current cup the league uses - The 1993 “Replica Cup” as a stand-in at the Hockey Hall of Fame if the Presentation Cup is not available.

    I still think we need the Lanny McDonald Memorial 'Stache Award for best playoff beard.
  • It's sad, but safe to say that the NHL is 4th among the big 4 North American sports leagues, but the Stanley Cup to me is the one that probably means more to win to the players, then getting the ring. I love all the NHL trophies. Hart, Selke, Norris, etc. You feel the history just in the look and name of them. The only others that come to mind like that are the World Cup, Heisman Trophy, Lombardi Trophy, and maybe the Cy Young Award.

    I still can not believe that I my youngest son was able to sit inside the cup when we were able to see it in person. Every time I see it hoisted now I see him in it.

  • @JL-sm6cg
    I always love to point out that two of the longest droughts in history, The Red Wings and Rangers, went so long that when they last won the cup before breaking the drought, the cup had a different design. The Rangers had the stovepipe design, and the Wings had what was the prelude to the modern design. Every long drought after that, the cup looked as it does today.
