Esquire 324 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 Whatever the Pens do with it can't be worse than what the Stars did with it: http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/P/Panter.../28/748635.html July 28, 2001 You may remember the story: The 108-year-old Stanley Cup was damaged two years ago during a wild party in Texas, of all places. Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul recalls the victory bash he hosted for his pals the Dallas Stars. They'd won it in six, rallied by a fight song he wrote called The Dallas Stars Theme Song. No sense in getting fancy. It worked - a testament to the rallying power of heavy metal. There was much rejoicing. "We had a little party over at my house after they won the Cup," Paul says. "They felt my song helped propel them to win, so they brought it over to my house. The entire team came, and at one point, Guy Carbonneau decided he wanted to toss the Cup off the balcony into the pool." The shot went wide. "It went DINK! on the side before it went in. That's how the infamous dent got in the Cup. It just knocked it out of round, kind of made it more oval down at the bottom," he laughs. There was a brief uproar, but the Cup-keeper soon hammered it back in shape and all was well. Leave it to the frogs to always toss the Cup in a damn pool.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 Classless The Wings would never treat the Cup with such disrespect. But of course Bettman will get the Pens get away with anything. I think you're being sarcastic, because the whole idea behind celebrating with th eCup is to do the most outrageous thing you can get away with. It's not disrespect. You earned the damn thing and you can only have it for what, a few days? Better make it memorable. Swimming with it, eating out of it, it's better than just staring at it in your living room. I refuse to criticize what the champions do with their trophy, because as we should all remember, Lebda nearly destroyed the thing last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 Why would this upset anyone. If it does you maybe have not watched long or are just a casual fan. Or maybe you just watch until the season is done and it is over. When I heard the news on 97.1. I was thinking something what did they do? They most have sacrificed animals or something... Cause I knew in my head that almost everything had been done to the cup. So many stories we have heard. We don't know the truth of them but I believe most of them. Stanley Cup = Best ******* Trophy in the History of the World. (All though I bet the apache thought scalps were pretty sweet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 There are four elements to the story, taking place in 1995; I was listening to the radio the morning it happened: 1) The Howard Stern Show 2) Claude Lemieux 3) The Stanley Cup 4) Jackie Martling.

#19forPresident! 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2009 No biggie. FAR FAR FAR worse things have happened to that sucker. As much as we like to dislike the Pens right now they value that hardware as much as anybody and wouldn't do anything that hasn't already been done to abuse it. Lebda freaking dropped it off the bar at Cheli's last year and it actually required repairs, so I think so far they may be taking better care of it lol, not that I wouldn't love to see us abusing it right now.

The Pens are amateurs on how to party with the cup. It's only been a week and that's only what's been made public. You don't want to know what Max Talbot will do but it will presumably involve copious amounts of women and God knows what else.
