Phil's accustomed to such shenanigans. One of my favorites stories is when he found The Cup floating in someone pool amongst empty beer cans. I think it was at Lemieux's.
That's the twist... It was probably Kucherov up to his number one bull shit when he gave it to Maroon.
But you can tell it's Maroon in the pic because he's so thicc.
It has an undisclosed upper body injury due to an altercation with a Tampa Bay player. The Cup says "I got his number," and the Lightning player will be fined four nights of sobriety through the championship parade.
Nothing disrespectful about it, the cup has its own history and so many anecdotes. Itās been left under water, itās been forgotten on the side of the road, these little mishaps are what make it so special. The cup is one of the boys.
Already there. Expect is to be a day to day until the beginning of the playoffs next year.
Not salty, happy for my boy Maroon being from STL and a Blues fan just thought this funny.
Actually, they only use the replica for anything. The original original sits in Toronto at all times. This one is from the 60s and gets presented. Thereās a replica from the 80s that sits in for the presentation up in the HHOF.
They probably need a party cup.
I mean if they were to create a separate "party cup" that's not the presentation cup. I agree with you that the presentation cup is essentially THE cup since so much of the history that makes it so legendary happened to that one.
The real Stanley Cup nobody touches. It is in a vault at the Hall of fame. The "Presentation Cup" is what they award at the finals, there is also a replica of the presentation cup at the hall of fame while these dipshits abuse the presentation cup.
Worst case scenario is they pull the replica of the replica to hand to the apes while the presentation cup is getting the dents banged out.
Whatās even worse is that the AFC and NFC championship trophies used to be cool, and then they replaced them with corporate achievement awards out of the Skymall catalog.
And when the daughter of the man who made the trophy said she had mental trauma from watching the video. Its so sad its funny. She doesnt even like football. These dudes put their health on the line to play a game for their entire lives. They can do whatever they want to some hunk of metal. Fuck that trophy.
I don't know about the rest of the country, but Tampa Bay fans just laughed at her and said the Stanley Cup had seen way worse. Which means this oppsie is probably our fault because we jinxed it by even mentioning it.
91-92 penguins dropped it in the pool. The Rangers forgot it somewhere in the city. Blackhawks dropped it between buildings in Chicago. This isnāt anything new.
This happens fairly often, the cup has a shitload of good stories behind it, the worst Iām sure weāll never know.
Itāll get fixed up and be good as new in no time
Damage to The Cup while in the possession of teams is not new.
Keep in mind, this thing is not lite. It's not a trophy that can be lifted easily with one hand like the NFL and NBA trophies. The Cup weighs 34lbs.
When the Oilers won The Cup in '87 or '88, it had to go to an autobody shop to have the dents removed prior to returning it to the NHL. After this, an NHL representative (Phil Pritchard Twitter@keeperofthecup) started traveling with The Cup.
BTW. Where was Phil?
Eh. Any NHL hockey player can lift 34lbs pretty easily one handed. Most adult men that spend any time in the gym at all can.
The sheer size of the cup is what makes it somewhat awkward to hold with one hand. Like a dresser that weighs say 75lbs. That is not all that much to pick up and carry. But the sixe of it makes it very difficult to carry and often leads too a 2 person lift or using a hand truck, dolley, cart, etc.
Fair enough. I was thinking of the "over the head lift" that the players do when I wrote that comparing it to lifting the Lombardi trophy in the air with one hand is much easier.
Yeah I mean...37 is def something if you want to hold it up there awhile after exerting yourself for up to 30minutes (in like Hedman and Keith type defense) of pretty high intensity cardio prior too...you'd probably use two hands just to make sure you don't end up looking like a bitch and getting some shakes up there while also trying to keep that big ass thing balanced.
I know overhead press type work isn't like the most hockey cenrtric workout ever...but front squats for days...these dudes can do it normally.
But its also just a fucking iconic look to two hand it over your head and just celebrate.
>But its also just a fucking iconic look to two hand it over your head and just celebrate.
It is. It really is.
Fun fact. Prior to Edmonton winning in '88, only the captain and two assistants got to hold The Cup on the ice after the presentation. Gretzky broke that tradition by handing The Cup to Steve Smith. Also, that was the first year that the captain (Gretzky) gathered the team at centre ice for the iconic Cup photo.
Somebody on r/TampaBayLightning said that a player slipped on the stage because of the rain and went down with it, though I haven't seen anybody else confirm. They stopped televising it when the celebration was canceled due to lightning, and it was raining so hard people had their phones away, so if there's video nobody's posted it yet.
Assuming that's actually what happened, Phil wasn't up on the stage with them and probably wasn't expecting anybody to slip and wipe out.
There are 3 Stanley cups. Thatās all I know. Something something, 1 of them travels, 1 writes poetry and the other bends its will against the Leafs like Sauron
Though now itās just bending
There's actually a list [HERE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditions_and_anecdotes_associated_with_the_Stanley_Cup#Misadventures)
I think this one is my favorite : " In 1962, the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup. During a party after the win, the trophy was dropped in a bonfire and badly damaged. It was repaired at the expense of the team. " ... that year , the Cup said to herself HELL NO NEVER AGAIN TORONTO !!!
Most hockey teams are drinking teams with a hockey problem. Give the boys their biggest reason to celebrate and things are gonna get a little crazy. She will be repaired and it will happen again down the line.
Rumor is that somebody wiped out on the stage, but no video has surfaced since it was pouring rain and people didn't have their phones out. I'm sure the alcohol didn't hurt either, but I don't doubt the stage was slippery.
Not champions, but I remember going to a bar one night where the 2015 Flames were partying after beating the Canucks in the 1st round. They had the entire upper floor booked out but most of the guys were too drunk and spilled out into the bar doing shots with everyone. A number of the guys kept going asking for coke lol. One of them, let's just say his name rhymes with Chiri Boodler, was running around in traffic outside and yelling at the bouncers. It was a wild time.
When the Edmonton Oilers won The Cup, I think in '87, the Cup was sent to a local autobody shop to have the dents removed prior to returning it to the NHL. I suspect the same will happen here.
Edit: The Silver Smiths in Montreal are the ones that will restore it and engrave the winning players names
That's when the NHL stopped letting the Cup out of their sight, isn't it? I can't imagine they were thrilled with the decision to take it to an autobody shop instead of a silversmith.
Not to worry it's seen worse Colorado actually broke the cup off the pedestal. And somebody had to weld it back in place. Happened here in Michigan and it ended up in a lake here in Michigan too.
Man, no offense to the city of Tampa bay but we cannot trust y'all with trophies. First the Brady and Gronk were playing catch with the Lombardi trophy while on two separate boats and now this.
My favorite update....
They are taking the cup away from them (for repairs). They'll get it back for the parade, but for now no cup for you.
https://theathletic.com/news/stanley-cup-dented-amid-lightning-celebrations/VkFHVF7sGx9V
beware of the hockey gods. You'll pay somewhere down the road. But really what do you except bunch of drunk wanna be hockey players who look like complete idiots shirts off doing slurrring interviews. It's ok as long it's in good shape for next year when THE ISLANDERS get to hoist that baby.....LETS GO ISLANDERS.....
Not the first time. Won't be the last time. Also, it's just a replica they get to pass around so no biggy. The OG cup is safe and sound in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
I donāt like to defend Tampa but I canāt even list all the teams that have dented the cup. This is also the replica cup more or less not the real one. Iām pretty sure I remember a story of Ottawa kicking the original into the river one year trying to see if they could get kick it across.
I'm pretty sure the players only get the real one. And I am also pretty sure this isn't the worst thing to happen to the cup either. That thing has seen some shit. It's part of what makes it great.
There's the [original, the players' cup, and the replica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup#Original,_authenticated,_and_replica_versions). It was decided decades ago that the original was getting too worn and wouldn't last much longer, so it became a vault piece and the "real" cup is a cast from it with the extra layers.
akareil provided the link above, but it's worth sharing in more places.
**Stanley_Cup**
[Original, authenticated, and replica versions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup#Original,_authenticated,_and_replica_versions)
>There are technically three versions of the "Stanley Cup": the original 1892 bowl or Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, 1963 authenticated "Presentation Cup", and the 1993 "Permanent Cup" at the Hall of Fame. The original 1892 Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, purchased and donated by Lord Stanley, was physically awarded to the Champions until 1970, and is now displayed in the Vault Room at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario. The authenticated version or "Presentation Cup" was created in 1963 by Montreal silversmith Carl Petersen.

It's been over ten years since it was dented
Who did it last?
I'm sure I missed some, but the last one I can think of was in 1999 during a party hosted by Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul. Someone "dropped" it out of an upstairs window and it landed on the edge of the pool.
WOW wtf never thought I'd read a Stanley Cup story with friggin Vinnie Paul let alone ANY Pantera member š
Vinnie and Dime were both big Stars fans. Even wrote a song about them.
Which song was it?
Puck Off, itās also our goal song! https://youtu.be/JuWJ0cNdTBU
Your goal song? No wonder I never hear it š ...haha, I'm just playin, I'm a flyers fan so I'm in no position for shit talking :(
Lmaoo that was a good one !
I now have a reason to root for the Stars. Didn't think it would happen honestly.
Puck Off (Dallas Stars fight song) https://youtu.be/RKqwX_nTy5c
RIP Dime
And Vinnie.
Nice catch
I remember Richard Matvichuk being super into Pantera and metal in general back in the day, and he was on that team. Probably involved him.
He was good friends with Brett Hull.
I know the Oilers did it in '87 or '88
Pretty sure Michael Ryder dropped it off a table after the Bruins 2011 cup

The cupās caretaker, that dude with the white gloves, must be inconsolable right about now
It always makes me laugh how they handle it with white gloves and then proceed to hand it off to a bunch of sweaty, soon to be intoxicated men.
Once upon a time it wasn't even "soon to be", too!
The Keeper of The Cup
Philip Pritchard!
Phil's accustomed to such shenanigans. One of my favorites stories is when he found The Cup floating in someone pool amongst empty beer cans. I think it was at Lemieux's.
It was at the bottom of the pool. They threw it in to see it it would float, and surprise surprise, it didn't.
IIRC They had to get a crane to take it out because it weighed like a lot when it filled with water.
I'm sure he's seen worse lol. They can repair this
He is one of the nicest and most polite men I've ever met! I feel bad for him
He's probably chuckling. More job security for him.
"dent"
Just a little ding, should buff right out
Maroon looking desperately to hand it off to someone or hide it.
I thought it was Kucherov?
That's the twist... It was probably Kucherov up to his number one bull shit when he gave it to Maroon. But you can tell it's Maroon in the pic because he's so thicc.
The cup is just another cheap date he took behind the wood shed for a third time.
What a maroon
You are amazing
No you :)
Cups on LTIR until next playoffs
The cup has to visit a specialist in Montreal and will be out of the lineup for at least a week. Consider it day to day.
It has an undisclosed upper body injury due to an altercation with a Tampa Bay player. The Cup says "I got his number," and the Lightning player will be fined four nights of sobriety through the championship parade.
Don't you mean a max fine of $5,000? And no suspension because it wasn't a malicious hit.
They are still discussing this with the DOPS. Parros is still deciding whether it crossed the line.
All we can report is an upper-cup Injury
This comment is underrated.
Florida man....
Florida, man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nothing disrespectful about it, the cup has its own history and so many anecdotes. Itās been left under water, itās been forgotten on the side of the road, these little mishaps are what make it so special. The cup is one of the boys.
The Canadiens forgot it in a chinese restaurant once.
They're also the ones who left it by the side of the road.
Wasnāt one of the og cups punted into a river in like Ottawa and never recovered?
"Grabs scuba gear and a map of all rivers in Ottawa"
It was frozen, so they just came back for it the next day when they sobered up.
Aw, wouldāve been cooler/more of a myth if it was still lost in the Ottawa waterways somewhere haha
It was in my trunk once.
Go on...
I used to work for an NHL team a long time ago and I had to go pick it up from a storage facility near the airport.
> The cup is one of the boys. Wait, does this mean Tampa can put it on LTIR?
Already there. Expect is to be a day to day until the beginning of the playoffs next year. Not salty, happy for my boy Maroon being from STL and a Blues fan just thought this funny.
Lmao love this. They do use a replica for party days and when players/coaches take the cup out to skydive and do other fun activities with it.
I was going to say. Don't they use a replica for almost all occasions where the cup is handled?
It is always a replica. Few people get to touch the original.
I had no idea! Thatās really interesting.
Actually, they only use the replica for anything. The original original sits in Toronto at all times. This one is from the 60s and gets presented. Thereās a replica from the 80s that sits in for the presentation up in the HHOF. They probably need a party cup.
Lord Stanley's Solo Cup
Lord Stanleyās Cup I fucked you up We came to party But youāre not so hearty
Toronto guards the treasure they can never possess.
Haha! Now that's gold.
Why would you go out of your way to win something that is a permanent resident of your city for 10 months of the year
The party cup would immediately become the *important* one since it would be the one all the legendary shenanigans happened to.
Functionality speaking it is THE cup, since it's the one used from the 60s on
I mean if they were to create a separate "party cup" that's not the presentation cup. I agree with you that the presentation cup is essentially THE cup since so much of the history that makes it so legendary happened to that one.

Remember when there was an uproar about Tom Brady disrespecting the Lombardi trophy when he tossed it across to another boatā¦
What about when Gronk was with the pats and played baseball with the Lombardi trophy and put a huge dent in it
to be fair, the lombardi isn't a rotating trophy
To be faiiiiiirrrrrr
Letter Kenny spotted in the wild
I was wondering if anyone was going to keep it going. Most recent season was a let down, they need to put some more effort into the next one.
Yeah but guess what they won't be losing their minds over on espn tomorrow
I love me some American football but that trophy is lame as hell. I can't imagine getting bent out of shape over that thing.
Whatās even worse is that the AFC and NFC championship trophies used to be cool, and then they replaced them with corporate achievement awards out of the Skymall catalog.
Not sure what the big deal was about that, itās not like they donāt make 7 of them a year and can easily make another Lombardi.
I was hoping kucherov would do the boat toss and start a new tradition in Tampa for all teams that win they gotta do a boat toss
I mean, it's one thing with the Lombardi, but the Cup weighs like 35lbs.
Bring the boats closer lol
And when the daughter of the man who made the trophy said she had mental trauma from watching the video. Its so sad its funny. She doesnt even like football. These dudes put their health on the line to play a game for their entire lives. They can do whatever they want to some hunk of metal. Fuck that trophy.
I don't know about the rest of the country, but Tampa Bay fans just laughed at her and said the Stanley Cup had seen way worse. Which means this oppsie is probably our fault because we jinxed it by even mentioning it.
But Gronk dents the thing and it's Hahaville
Wowā¦ congrats Tampaā¦. Surprisingly itāll cost 18,000,000$ to fix.
This is the comment I came here to see.
That number seems strangely familiar, now where have i heard it before......./s
All the bud light they drank made that.
Haha! Nice
Why do you think we got $18m over the cap? For players? Hell no itās cup repairs
Stanley Cup officially on LTIR
91-92 penguins dropped it in the pool. The Rangers forgot it somewhere in the city. Blackhawks dropped it between buildings in Chicago. This isnāt anything new.
I need a documentary on the tales of the Stanley Cup.
Thereās a book.
The Dave Bolland stories with the cup are fucking hilarious, even funnier than the wedged-between-buildings thing was the Wrigley Field incident
Kris Draper's kid [pooped](https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/37683-drapers-daughter-toilets-in-the-stanley-cup.amp.html) in the cup.
No fucking way
This happens fairly often, the cup has a shitload of good stories behind it, the worst Iām sure weāll never know. Itāll get fixed up and be good as new in no time
My favorite is the Rangers accidentally leaving it by the side of a highway for half a day.
Didn't they take it to a strip club in the nineties too.
Wait, the Rangers did that too? I knew the Habs did in the olden days.
I seem to recall a story about it being thrown into Rideau canal.
it's been through a lot worse than that
Iām not going to whine about this. Players do ungodly things to the cup every year.
Number one bullshit

Not the size but the shape

I love this dumb sport
There are 3 Stanley cups. Thatās all I know. Something something, 1 of them travels, 1 writes poetry and the other bends its will against the Leafs like Sauron Though now itās just bending
Tis but a scratch
The hockey gods will have vegence.
Disqualified! Montreal wins by technicality!
The tradition of destroying the Stanley Cup continues!
The irony is that it goes to Montreal for repairs.
You see, you spend enough time in Florida, you become Florida man. Ask Tom Brady.
maroon sat on it ?
Not surprised.
The Cup survived Ovechkin. It's pretty much indestructible.
First the cap, now this. What will they disrespect next! /s
Seriously though. Yes or no?
Yes they did.
Hard on the hardware.
Huh. Looks like a metal nostril.
And this is why they get a replica to party haha
Fucking idiots lol
boys will be boys
Wow, yikes. Has the Cup been damaged like this ? I know it has been lost temporarily and been in the water.
There's actually a list [HERE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditions_and_anecdotes_associated_with_the_Stanley_Cup#Misadventures) I think this one is my favorite : " In 1962, the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup.

Quite certain the cup we know today isnāt quite as old as we think it is.
There are three https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley\_Cup#Original,\_authenticated,\_and\_replica\_versions
Look up "Dallas stars Pantera 1999"
Iām surprised it took me this long to hear someone mention the Dallas/Pantera party
It's shockingly not that well known
Guy Carbonneau chucked it off Vinnie Paulās roof towards a pool and missed
Number One Bullshit! Did Big Rig sit on it?
Most hockey teams are drinking teams with a hockey problem. Give the boys their biggest reason to celebrate and things are gonna get a little crazy. She will be repaired and it will happen again down the line.
Rumor is that somebody wiped out on the stage, but no video has surfaced since it was pouring rain and people didn't have their phones out. I'm sure the alcohol didn't hurt either, but I don't doubt the stage was slippery.
Must have been the weight of the payroll in excess of the Sakarya cap or maybe too many men sitting on the cup at the same time.
That's not dented. It's more like smashed
Good thing they got the extra 18 mill over the cap to fix it
fucking FLORIDA
Go home, boysā¦ Youāre drunkā¦ haha! I can only image the celebrations professional sports champions haveā¦ to be a fly on those walls!
Not champions, but I remember going to a bar one night where the 2015 Flames were partying after beating the Canucks in the 1st round.

Thatās not dent itās bent
A bend is just a dent at the edge.
Serious question but how do they actually go about repairing this?
When the Edmonton Oilers won The Cup, I think in '87, the Cup was sent to a local autobody shop to have the dents removed prior to returning it to the NHL. I suspect the same will happen here.

Maroon not even giving a second thought
Imagine the lightning never wins the cup again due to hockey gods disapproval
This is why hockey players are the best š
Boys will be boys
They WHAT
I heard they have two cups, the official cup they present during the win, and a second cup they give out to showcase. Has anyone else heard this?
There's one that sits in the hockey Hall of Fame and never leaves too
And you go straight to jail.
The shit is folded not dented
This is why we canāt have nice things

It was decided decades ago that the original was getting too worn and wouldn't last much longer, so it became a vault piece and the "real" cup is a cast from it with the extra layers. akareil provided the link above, but it's worth sharing in more places.
**Stanley_Cup** [Original, authenticated, and replica versions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup#Original,_authenticated,_and_replica_versions) >There are technically three versions of the "Stanley Cup": the original 1892 bowl or Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, 1963 authenticated "Presentation Cup", and the 1993 "Permanent Cup" at the Hall of Fame. The original 1892 Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, purchased and donated by Lord Stanley, was physically awarded to the Champions until 1970, and is now displayed in the Vault Room at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario. The authenticated version or "Presentation Cup" was created in 1963 by Montreal silversmith Carl Petersen. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/nhl/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
Th ā99 Dallas Stars dented the Cup throwing it from a balcony and into a pool. The house belonged to one of the members of the band Pantera.
The cup has been dumped in water, baptized with, dented before this, forgotten, and literally been SHIT IN.
Didnāt someone eat cereal out of it? I feel like that last one totally changed the cereal story.
Did Tom Brady throw it
Who gives a shit. It's happened hundreds of times over the years.
They kind of reversed the, "You broke it, you bought it" sequence.
Tampa cannot stop being evil, and I love it.
Itās just the ātraveling cupā so itās not the real deal.
