August 18, 200619 yr Last Thursday August 10, our local hero Eric Staal brought Lord Stanley home. There were lots of people to see Eric and the Stanley Cup it was awesome. Below are some pics /monthly_06_2011/post-531-130810186706_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-531-13081018671_thumb.jpg /monthly_06_2011/post-531-130810186715_thumb.jpg
August 18, 200619 yr Look at that kid's face in the first picture. That's priceless. Too bad now he will never win the cup because once you touch it before you win it you will never win it or so the story goes. Congrats Eric Staal.
August 20, 200619 yr Interesting facts. There are actually three Cups that exist; the original bowl, displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario; a duplicate, made by Montreal silversmith Carl Petersen, which is the one awarded to the champions of the playoffs and used for promotions; and a replica that is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame when the playoff Cup is travelling.[39] Currently, in order to have one's name inscribed on the Cup, a player must have played at least 41 games for the championship team during the regular season (provided the player remains with the team when they win the Cup) or at least played in one game of the Finals. However, the NHL will also permit other reasons on a case-by-case basis.[1] The player who has been on the most Stanley Cup championships is Henri "The Pocket Rocket" Richard, of the Montreal Canadiens, with 11. Two other Canadiens players, Jean Beliveau and Yvan Cournoyer, are each on the Cup 10 times.[41] The first U.S. citizen to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup is John Sherf of Calumet, MI. After completing his senior season at the University of Michigan in 1936, the Detroit Red Wings signed him to play the balance of their regular season and the playoffs. Sherf played with the Red Wings in the 1936 Stanley Cup Finals when they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs.
