LordRasta Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 If you had a day with the cup like the players from the winning team, what would you with it? I'd load it up with my favorite watches and take Pugwash quality pictures, then fill it up with some Sweetwater IPA and get trashed. Then fall asleep with it in my arms...

stilty Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think before I was to take it out for a night on the town, I would spend a few hours taking some measurements, maybe a couple of impressions, and begin work on a franken-cup for the office!

Daytona4me Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well, since it's making the rounds with Detroit players right now, I'd take a BIG OLD SMELLY DUMP in it!!! Red wings SUCK!!

Smittyscook Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) 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.

Smittyscook Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah,, ok... those are fighting words! I'll try to get a wrist shot with it. I've been to several parties at restaurants that the players own here in Michigan. yeah.... I've touched it! lol Sorry Daytona, but here in Colorado, we aren't allowed to say the RW word without following it up with "SUCK" It's the law... ...And, if them's fightin' words, fine...How about you be Osgood and I'll be Saint Patty (Roy) (No, you can't be Vernon.) BTW, I too got to touch the cup...in 2001. OK...Congrats, but if you tell anyone I said that, I'll deny it!! And, as always, Red Wings SUCK!!

You forgot one Smitty. When the Avs won the cup in 95-96, Adam Deadmarsh became the only player to have his name misspelled on the cup (It was spelled Deadmarch). The error was later corrected.
