People who don't know about the new cups by a company named Stanley: "Dang. She must really like hockey!"
I genuinely thought it was something to do with the NHL, like maybe mini commemorative replica cups or something. That at least would be interesting. This is just some weirdo stealing over priced thermos bottles.
I was in the same boat until I saw an explainer video from Vox
I had no idea and was very confused because the picture seemed completely unrelated, and I thought there was only one Stanley Cup...
Their website is stanley1913.com, lmao.
But yes, my first thought was "how the fuck did she get one of those?" and then "only $2500?" and then "OHHHH".
People who also don't know anything about hockey: huh?
The championship trophy in the NHL (National Hockey League, the premier North American hockey league) is "The Stanley Cup".
Oh. Well, that tidbit hasn't made it past the borders...
Thanks for the info! :)
At first I thought this might be a hilarious dig on Canada since they haven't won the cup since 1993... not sure if you're serious.
I've never heard of it. Hockey basically doesn't exist in most of Europe. Never mind US hockey.
Is this from the office?
