Because It's the Cup!! Stanley Cup, That Is

From the Tribune by Philip Pritchard, keeper of the Cup.

Over the last 27 years the Stanley Cup has been filled with popcorn, potatoes, thrown into a swimming pool and used as the ultimate prize for street hockey.  And, of course, quite the drinking cup.

Overall, it has 120 years of nicks and smudges.

"There are 49 Super Bowl trophies out there.  There is only one Stanley Cup.  You don't win it.  You borrow it.  But your name is etched on it for all of history" according to Philip Pritchard.

That is what they're going after now in the Stanley Cup playoffs.  Seems weird not to have our Blackhawks in it.  Buy, the Stanley Cup is the people's cup.  I loved it when the Hawks would win and following day-to-day where it was.

Well, Maybe Next Year.  --CootCup
