[Paperbagofglory]

If Ovie does not show up hungover or half drunk at training camp then the celebrations have been a failure.

"Ovie. Wake up. It's September."

"September? What happened to July?"

"Ovie. Wake up. It's September."

"September? What happened to June, Did we win?"

Fixed.

The Caps have damaged the cup. It's no longer round, and appears to have a crease or tear in the lip. Seems to have happened on TJ Oshie's day with the cup, and has been through several various states of roundishness since.

It'll buff out.... right?

Way to go caps. Ruin all the fun for the rest of the teams. No more keg stands on the cup after the hall of fame thinking about banning them.

After looking through the history of what the cup has been through I guess this is just par for the course. Not something I would do personally with a 100+ year old trophy but I guess thats part of the fun.

Great
I know it's been damaged before, but people should be more careful with a historic trophy.

It's just a replica. Relax.

It's just a replica. Relax.

It's still 55 years old and has been through a lot.

It’s historic because of the ways people have damaged it so...

 

[John Price]

Honestly don't see what the issue is here. Let the lads celly.

One of the things I LOVE about hockey is the lore surrounding the game and the Stanley Cup.

Thus another chapter is penned. The beat goes on.

The original one had to be fished out of the canal in Ottawa,so people being stupid with it has been going on since the first ever one was awarded

 

[Sam Spade]

As I said on the Capitals side they think the keg stands may be damaging the bowl and/or base due to the weight being placed on them. I am pretty sure if the people with the Cup thought they were damaging it they wouldn't have done them.

It was also noted they would assess the Cup structurally once they take it apart for the engraving. Fingers-crossed the team didn't hurt it too bad.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

The cup will be good as new for the 2019 winners to take it around next summer. I'm pretty sure someone on the Wings had to rivet the bowl back to the base during one summer (which was replaced with a more permanent solution once they gave it back).

Happens all the time.

 

[John Price]

Good. Keep celebrating. The Caps literally aren't doing anything wrong.
