I used to love the NHL. Then I moved to Indiana and the strike.... Now I couldn't name 5 players in the league.
Come on Lars, everyone knows the Redwings is a LaCrosse team!
or beer nuts....That would hold a lot of Guinness.
They do all sort of crazy stuff with that cup. I guarantee you beer nuts and Guinness has been in that thing along with a lot of other stuff
I only know about that Wayne Gretsky guy.
That's the great thing about hockey. The Stanley Cup truly belongs to the fans. They get to be a part of it. The Cup gets lost, stolen, beaten up, thrown in the pool, drunk out of, etc. Every player gets his turn not only to hoist it at the playoffs, but to actually take it home! It's even on display in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto and you can walk right up and lick it, if you're so inclined (I didn't, but I did give it a big hug!). No other professional sport lets even the players (let alone the fans) get anywhere near their major trophy. The Stanley Cup is 116 years old and it's (more or less) the same trophy as it was in 1892. It doesn't get "redesigned and recreated" every few years.
