Following the Stanley Cup & More

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I gotta say, I was pretty pissed off when i saw Porter's sly grin right in the middle of the group.

Obama could have a succesful career in comedy after his precidency I bet.

Oh, and does Bettman usually attend these?

I think so. I remember Gaborik making fun of Bettman's shoes one year.

Did Lovejoy get to go that? What's the protocol?

Doesn't look like it:

I love The Phil, but the dude just does not look like a professional athlete. Bless his heart

He's 29 going on 40.

When do they get their rings?

Monday

Seriously .. is there a more charismatic person in politics?

You can tell he doesn't know a lot of the "stats" (ie. coaching change in December, etc, etc) and he's just reading lines but he still comes across as engaging and personable.

Very impressive.

Dat ring.... sexy

Looks like it should be a watch. The view in Hagelin's pic makes it look nice, otherwise too much bling and not enough substance.

There's almost 9 carats of diamonds on those things. Details are here. And for the socially conscious, Jostens uses conflict-free diamonds.

I actually did wonder about that, thanks.

I also wonder how much one of those things cost. 9 carats?

Good to know about conflict-free diamonds. Makes me feel a tad better about the absurdity of championship rings.

I always find these how stuff is made videos interesting.

Steve Oleksy gets a ring for playing zero games? Tim Erixon has to be like, "what a gyp."

The FO/Staff/Ownership takes up more room than the players

And, hello, Kevin Porter ...

Reading some of the comments, no Pouliot, Bennett, or Gonch.

I understand about the first two, but I thought Gonchar had a legitimate shot at making the cut.

Also, interesting that Recchi and Tocchet are on the same cup year for the Penguins.

 

[Beauner]

Kevin Porter might be the least deserving player to ever have his name on the cup. Here for all of the bad times last year, coach gets fired, then immediately gets hurt. He had literally no hand in the success of the team

 

[Old Gregg]

So Bennett gets a day with the Cup but doesn't get his name on it?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Porter? Really

 

[mpp9]

Dupuis being on there over a single player who played a single postseason game is a joke.

 

[molon labe]

Fvgeni?

 

[ColePens]

The rule is.. 41 games and you have to be on it. Porter wasn't suggested. It was guaranteed. unfortunately.

 

[Woodrow]

IMO it is wrong that assistant equipment managers get their name on the cup before players who played games in the playoffs.
