  1. doubt they’re the first or last to do so. you’re partying with a trophy, stuff happens. they’ll fix it.

  2. There is regularly damage done to the Stanley Cup. Heck the thing has been in the bottom of Mario Lemieux’s pool. Another time it was punted into the Rideau Canal, another time the Canadiens forgot it on the side of the road, the “cup portion” disconnected and was rolling around a class room of first graders in long island. There are so many stories of things that have happened to the cup over the years, that I can’t fit them here.

    Its been dented countless times over the years.

    It always gets repaired and we move on.

    Nothing to see here really.

  3. Anyone know if there’s any videos of it being returned and the process on how they fix it?

  4. Oilers fans: “This is a disgrace and proof that the league conspired to make the Panthers the winning team this year! I won’t watch hockey again until the league admits is wrongdoing and apologizes for letting such a careless and reckless team within 50 feet of the Stanley Cup.”

    Meanwhile…normal human adults: “LOL, they must have been partying pretty hard. Shit happens, I guess.”

  5. At least it wasn’t the Edmonton section. Could you imagine? THE DISRESPECT!

  6. The cup has been damaged so many times. It’s got a full dedicated team whose job it is to repair things like this. It’s even been thrown into a river and kicked around like a football.

    I just like to think of damage like this as hard earned battle scars and a story to tell for generations.

  7. When Chicago won (I think season 09/10), they cracked it as well, but I read somewhere that the cup is actually a replica, the original is only used for the first hour or so on the ice and then exchanged for 1-1 replica. Does anyone know if it’s really true?

  8. Ohhh that’s bad Juju……let’s hope the panthers go back to being a cap basement team

  9. Who’d’ve thunk that giving a bulky, heavy and ancient trophy to a bunch of drunk dudes would end in it getting damaged?

  10. Claude Lemieux took it on the Howard Stern show and Jackie Martling took a shit in it.

    Not really. But it was a funny bit for radio

  11. I cant remember if it was Dimebag, or Vinny Paul that threw it off their roof into their swimming pool.

  12. Wasn’t it like Adam Graves or someone on the Rangers who woke up hungover to find it at the bottom of their pool? Or am I getting my cup stories mixed up. There are so many.

  13. The bars its been to around tampa… I hope it had received a DEEP cleanse

  14. I think it’s kinda fitting that the hardest trophy to win in sports gets roughed up by the gladiators that won it.

  15. I’m sure the moment they noticed what section it was the hockey media wanted so bad to get everyone fired up about this non story. The thing gets fucked up nearly on a yearly basis. Who cares it’s not like they took a grinder and took the Canadiens off the thing.

  16. Didn’t Aube-Kubel dent it on the cup presentation bringing it in for the team picture in 2022?

  17. I’m pretty sure the Lightning have dropped it into Tampa Bay off of a Sea-Doo

  18. There’s an expert silversmith that repairs it after they get it back every season
