RSD Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 The trials and tribulations of Lord Stanley's chalice are long and much-documented. Children have been baptized from it. Dogs have eaten from it. And barrels of booze have spilled from its sacred bowl. With the relatively new tradition of each winning player spending a day with the Cup, the odds of damage, dings and misadventure have increased. Which brings us to Michael Ryder. Before heading off to his hometown of Bonavista, the Newfoundland native took some time this morning to show off the Cup at a St. John's hotel. Where the wind promptly blew the Cup over and putting a big dent in the side. Ah well, makes it look MEAN. Have to agree with the first commenter at The Telegram though, "Why the frig did the police officers grab the table and not the Cup? Priorities people." - thecheapseats.ca Leave it to Ryder... ... http://bcove.me/a7kxpon5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs_93 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 The name of this thread sounds like a children's novel, lol. Once upon a time there was a very sad trophy that had to get taken all across North America by a bunch of scum. The trophy was so sad that it jumped off a table, trying to end its misery. ...Yeah, this isn't so great for the kiddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever_Habs10 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 That is the best thing that I have read in awhile. They did a piece today on the many places the cup has traveled through out the yrs...and what it has endured along the way. One story that cracked me up was the one where one time the Montreal Canadiens were traveling with the cup when they had a flat tire....the bus pulls over to fix it while the boys place the cup in the snow bank. Afterwards,the bus pulls away.....leaving the cup in the snow bank .......after they realize the cup was not on the bus,they turned around & went back for it.....at the surprise it was still there.

WinnipegJet Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/WolfFiles/story?id=90991&page=2 I still think my favourite is when it gets stuck at the bottom of swimming pools.
