Is the Stanley Cup chipped?

[blood gin]

It does have a permanent handler (forget his name) but I did hear from a player that during a particularly rowdy party they attempted to pop the bottom of it off to fill it with a larger amount of alcohol and there was a blinking device attached to it that changed from green to red (breach?). So you'd figure the league knows where that thing is at all times

If this is true, that’s just about the stupidest idea I’ve heard yet. Throw it in a pool, whatever. But break off the bottom???

There is a cap on the bottom it's a removable piece. If you look at old cup presentations when they pick it up the bottom was hollow and empty they didn't have the black cap on it

It's never been the same since Kris Drapers kid shit in it.

I agree and if anyone was that selfish they should be kicked out of hockey for life.

"A week after we won it, I had my newborn daughter in there and she pooped in the Cup," said Draper. "That was something. We had a pretty good laugh.
"It was, well, clean it out. I still drank out of it that night, so no worries."​

Its pretty much always had a base...here it is in 1921:

Here is how it was from '27-'47 as the "Stovepipe" Cup:

Pretty sure it has always had a base for strength...think of how easy it is to crush a tin can after you open it

Wouldnt they just fix it? Dont understand why that would be a problem.

A thread devoted to wondering if the Stanley Cup is "chipped". Seems like a summer thread?

Phil Pritchard. he was on the AMEX commercial!

It definitely lost a lot of its luster for me when the Kings petitioned to get Jeff Schultz' name on it.

So what you are saying is, the cup had shit on it two times now?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Only a chip? Phil Bourque must be disappointed in the lack of damage he's done to it by now.

Seems reasonable.

He looks the kind of guy you would expect to keep drinking out of a cup someone took a dump in. If he ever came over for a beer or two you wouldn't have to save him a glass, show him where the bathroom is.

A red jacket, crazy orange hair and the voice of the Cheerios bee.

Oh yeah, right..... but those gloves and that creepy hair still give me nightmares.
Every year i hope a team i don't like win the cup, because then i can turn the TV off before the cup ceremony.

didn't know the offseason was here already

For some teams .... yes it is.

I don't know if this really is the truth, but what I heard is that there is actually 3 cups. One for the HOF, one that gets given out the night of the win and a spare just in case. Michael Ryder put it on a table and the table fell over and put a big dent in the cup, if there really is a spare, I imagine that they broke it out the next day after that.
