MODERATORS
The Stanley Cup is, in my opinion, the most interwsting cup in North American sports. Just reading up on the history of the cup is entertaining in and of itself, nevermind the battles teams have made to win one.
It is "the people's cup". The stories of winning team's time with the cup ranges from the early days of teams forgetting on the side of the road and trying to drunkenly drop kick it over the Rideau Canal, to more modern day shananigans of denting it from tossing it into rockstar's pool.
Its both supremely revered by the players, but its also one of the boys.
