Lord Stanley

“The Stanley Cup came to my brother's place of employment, and since I was on my way to a meeting towards that direction, a co-worker and I stopped by to see it.

Got a couple pictures with it, I'll post them when I get them developed!

What a way to start the day!”

“Yeah, but did you get to drink out of it? I think not!”

“No. :( The Stanley guy said we couldn't pick it up or put anything in it. B@stard!

Just kidding. Seriouly, that job has to be pretty boring after a while. Bring the cup in, set it up, watch people take pictures for hours. Blah, Blah, Blah.”

“how come they brought in the first place?”

“Publicity”

“Joking aside, I bet it's impressive, and my name's not even on it, eh?”

“Oh, forgot to tell that part. The guy who owns my brother's company knows the Illitch's quite well, and has had the cup at their offices before. They invited all their clients and familes.”

“You need to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame if you want to see the real Stanely Cup. They keep it locked up in a vault. You can have your picture taken with the one they take everywhere. I spent all day going through the place. We also went to Maple Leaf Gardens, glad I got to see it before the new arena was built. Funny we drove past the place 3 or 4 times before we realized what it was, it looked like an old warehouse. Nothing like standing in the middle of an arena and listening to the history of the Leafs and hockey.”

“Very cool smiley!! Geo who would want to drink out of it, Lord only knows what's been in there!”

“Sounds pretty cool Ewker. I'm not the biggest hockey fan, and if I hadn't had that meeting up that way, I wouldn't have made a special trip to see it.

One kid there got to celebrate his birthday with the cup. Lucky kid. A baby got its pic taken with the cup, he was born during the final game.”

“The old Forum in Montreal was like that, very nondescript. It was all locked up that day, but looking through the door you could see posters of old Canadiens players. It was like hockey Valhalla in those days.”

“Didn't he invent the Stanley Steamer.”

“No, he was the Stanley of Stanley Tools. The Stanley Steamer guy was actually named Steamer. Stanley Steamer.”

“TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- No, Canada. The Stanley Cup not only isn't headed north, the Tampa Bay Lightning are taking it south.

Ruslan Fedotenko scored twice, including the critical first goal just as he did in the conference finals, and the resilient Lightning held off the Calgary Flames 2-1 in Game 7 Monday night to win their first Stanley Cup.

The Flames, threatening to become one of the most unlikely champions in NHL history, were held to only seven shots in a dismal first two periods before making a frantic late surge started by Craig Conroy's power-play goal midway through the third.

Poor Canadians”

“One of the things that makes America so great....

Hockey in Florida.”

“I caught the second half of the third period. Got to give Calgary a hand, they were playing like their lives depended on it - very frenetic pace.”

“thats unbelievable!

I know some people that are in shock right now.

who'd a thunk it, the Stanley Cups in Florida!!!”

“Yeah, Canadian pride must really be suffering... losing to Floridians. Kinda like the Jamaican Bobsled team.”

“Tell me about it. The Flames should've won last Saturday...they played way better.

As mentioned by USA above...they only had 7 shots after the first 2 periods. And they weren't checking the Bolts into the boards.

Flames only woke up, after their powerplay goal in the last 9 minutes of the game...btw, that penalty to the Lighting player wasn't warranted.

Tampa Bay deserved the win tonight. Congrats to all Lighting fans.”

“This morning's St. Pete Times headline reads: "LORDS OF THE RINK."

The Cup and I will be on the gulf working on our tans.

Congrats Bolts!!!!!!”

“There were actually more Canucks on the Tampa Bay team than on the Calgary Flames.

I don't normally watch hockey, but it was a great series. Good, fast hockey and few goons - just as it ought to be (and once was).

Congratulations to Tampa Bay and all their fans.

Doug”

“One Rink to rule them all
And in the darkness bind them


Puh-LEEZE!”

“Davidson is da man!

If his Pistons win, he'll be the first owner to win three major sport championships!”
