You will all also be happy to note that the Stanley Cup we all usually see is actually a replica! The original Stanley Cup from 1894 sits in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Then there is the Cup that is given to the players when they win. It is also taken to special events, etc. When that Cup is not sitting in the hall of fame, they put out a replica of it.

The cup itself has had a colourful history. It has been lost, misplaced and stolen (once from its home in the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum). In 1924, Montreal Canadiens players were on their way to a victory party at owner Leo Dandurand's house. The players had set the Cup on the sidewalk snowbank while they changed a flat tire. When arrived at Dandurand's house, they realized they had left the Cup on the sidewalk. They hurriedly drove back, and were relieved to see the silver bowl sitting right where they left it, completely untouched. Two other times the Cup was lost. In 1907, the Montreal Wanderers left the Cup at the home of a photographer they hired to immortalize their victory. The photographer's mother turned it into a flower pot for the next several months. In 1905, drunken members of the Ottawa Silver Seven thought it would a good celebratory idea to punt the Cup into the Rideau Canal. No one rescued it out of the chilly waters until the next day. Victors of the Cup have used it to baptize their children. Two players (the New York Islanders' Clark Gillies and the Anaheim Ducks' Sean O'Donnell) even allowed their dogs to eat out of the Cup.

Welcome back! Though neither of our respective hockey teams made the playoffs, so you didn't miss much on that front

You are a stripper?

Thanks for the update! Any time frame or estimates for the APRoo seconds at 12?

LOVE IT! That is one amazing watch. And thank-you for adding to our community! I'll look forward to seeing more of your watches. So have you taken the plunge and bought a rep yet?

Holy crap woman! Now that's some watch-hoarding! Props to you

The reason you haven't found the easy & short answer is because there isn't one. Plus, if we gave you all the answers, what fun would it be for you? Life's a journey, not a destination. Good luck

That looks so amazing and professional! Well done. And congratulations to the new owner.

I hope your paper gets an "F"

This thread looked fun, so I just took this 5 minutes ago (did anyone else find it hard to flex and take a picture at the same time? lol). Arms are probably my least-developed bodypart, but I don't really care, as I focus on legs/back firstly, and chest/shoulders secondly. And yes, I know I need a tan, but give me a break there isn't much sun during these long Canadian winters.

Send it to me! I have a horrible sense of smell...and I am having a heck of a time fending off all of the ladies, so this may help

Thanks for the update Sylar! Good luck.

I've got that message too. I'm interested to hear what happened.

Why don't you ship to Canada? You do know that the Canadian government doesn't confiscate replica watches.
