... slightly breached by Joe Sakic and Ray Bourque when the Colorado Avalanche won the Cup in 2001. Bourque had,until requesting a trade ...only ever played for the Boston Bruins. The seventh game of the 2001 Finals was the last of Bourque's 22-year NHL career, having never been on a Cup-winning team until that time. When Sakic received the trophy, he did not hoist it, but instead immediately handed it to Bourque I have to admit I cried. My favorite is Martin Brodour leaving butter and salt stains in it after eating popcorn from the bowl. I guess those Red Wings do know how to party hardy! Debo, I thought only the hockey players are allowed to drink from the Cup? Am I missing something?
Debo, I thought only the hockey players are allowed to drink from the Cup? Am I missing something? Sorry debo, I had to jump in here, but like steelergirl, I'd like to hear your story. To try and answer your question, sg, the players are each given the cup to do with what they wish. So my guess is that if a player brought the cup to the local dive, and passed it around to every guy/gal in the bar, you'd have the opportunity to drink from the cup. Unfortunately who knows what else gets passed around to every guy/gal in that bar because they all drank from the cup.
I didn't think of that BoKnows. But I know I could handle a cold or flu to say I drank out of the Stanley Cup. Although I would take just a little sip.
When the pens won the cup in 91, they were doing the "everyone gets a day with the cup". Well that also includes training staff. My father was good friends with one of the trainers who lived in Aliquippa Pa. For those not from PA, Aliquippa is not the best part of town. So anyway, we went to a pool party at this trainers house and the cup was there sitting by the pool on a card table. It was awesome. I opened, poured and drank an Iron city out of it. I will never forget that day. and BO, you say that like you wouldnt have had some yourself. Germafobe
and BO, you say that like you wouldnt have had some yourself. Germafobe I'd be swimming in it, debo.
I hope so Bo. I will never forget that day. I still have a picture of me drinking out of it on the mirror in my bedroom .
Nice memory you got there, Debo. But Iron City!? I kid, I have consumed my fair share of it.
Sorry i didnt pack my own beer but come on, how much more pittsburgh can you get. I honestly didnt really believe that the cup was even going to be at this party till I got there. I was thinking yeah, right, the cup up in plan 12 in Aliquippa! YEAH THATS THE TICKET!!! But there it was.
