funny stories

The 1940 New York Rangers urinated on the Cup to put out the fire, after they had burnt the cup.
How can you honestly still drink from that now?

In 1961, the Montreal Canadiens were losing the final game of a Playoff series to the Chicago Blackhawks. A Canadiens fan (Ken Kilander) in the stands was upset. He ran down to the front lobby and broke into the glass showcase where the Stanley Cup was on display. He grabbed the Cup, hoisted it over his shoulders.

While in court, he simply said, "I was bringing it back to where it belongs, in Montreal".

When it was Mark Messier's turn to hoist the cup, he took it to his hometown of Alberta. Messier then took it to his favorite club, and let many fans drink out of it!

What a considerate Canadian hockey player!

Both of these teams took the Cup and swimming with it in Marion Leimuex's pool, and then Patrick Roy's.

I guess both teams found out that it did not float, and that the league did not appreciate this. They recovered the Cup from them two days later!

Ed Olczyk took the Cup to the Kentucky Derby winner of 1994, Go for Gin, to use the cup as a feed bag.

I do not think the Cup liked the Rangers much after this off-season.

Brian Noonan and Nick Kypreos, brought the cup to MTV's Prime Time Beach House, put a t-shirt, baseball cap, and fake mustache on the cup. Then allowed it to be stuffed with raw oysters.
Why oysters? Is all I ask?

Sylvain Lefebvre of the Colorado Avalanche had his daughter baptized in the cup.

This is probably the most sincere of all the weird things been done to the Cup!

Stars forward Guy Carbonneau apparently attempted to throw the Cup from the upstairs deck into the house's Crown Royal shaped pool below. The Cup caught the lip of the pool, producing a large dent.

But, according to the keeper of the Cup, this never happened. He said the large dent was from something else...

In 2002 the Red Wings captain, Steve Yzerman took the Cup and went and had a shower, butt naked with the Cup in the shower with him.

So now we know almost everything, and everybody part has touched Lord Stanley's Cup!

The Cup made it's way to the Heroes set where it was licked by actress Hayden Panettiere.
