watching one of the shitheads on your team do something like this, https://twitter.com/GinoHard_/status/1667729483556683778 after having been posting winky faces about how maybe vegas shouldn't shove the other team into their net, is an extremely funny turd-brained type of situation to see unfold here on these great forums

is there a single league that isn't a "copycat" one? It's a filler phrase that gets thrown around

Watching it live it almost looked like everything exploded without cause, but the replays made it pretty obvious. It owned imo. 1 on 1 drop the gloves and grab the opponent's jersey-fights are lame and should be banned, but chaotic brawls rule.

The lesson seems pretty clear, if you want to win the Cup you get yourself a Makar/Toews or Hedman/McDonagh type of core. If you want to lose in the finals you just need a couple of lower-tier talents and to fill out the rest of your D corps with total shitheads.

Paul Maurice teams, still keepin' it classy after all these years. Realtalk though, it's not going to matter since the Knights are just better and Hill managed to hold onto Game 4 for them, but boy howdy did Cassidy get outcoached by Maurice last night. The Knights just completely fell apart after the zany pinball goal late in the 2nd to make it 3-1, and it got a lot worse after the intermission. You could feel the whole drat team's assholes tighten to the point of acute constipation and stay that way the whole third period. That game would have taken five years off my life if I were VGK fan, and if Florida had scored at the very end and won in OT it would have sent me on a four state crime spree.

We've replaced the Vegas Golden Knights with the Toronto Maple Leafs wearing Knights jerseys. Let's see if anyone notices...

Was thinking about how Kessel is gonna get his name on the Cup again and was wondering - The requirements to get your name engraved are to play 41 regular season games OR 1 SCF game, right? So, if a guy played every regular season game until the trade deadline, and then got traded to a non-playoff team, and then his original team goes on to win the Cup, can the guy get his name on it? I assume the answer is “no”, because he’s not on the team anymore. But what’s the difference between that theoretical guy, and a theoretical guy that plays every game until the TDL and then gets sent to the AHL and never sees NHL ice again? I assume MAYBE the team or league could make an exception if the guy is retiring or something? Has anything like this ever happened?

Teams get 53 (this doesn't seem right, but that's what the article says) name slots and can probably add folks if they are under that threshold and make a convincing argument to the league. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/daniel-carcillo-jamal-mayers-could-be-left-off-of-stanley-cup/2072534/

That's largely correct but teams have a maximum of 52 name slots on the cup inclusive of management, ownership and coaches. There is no limit to how that's divided up. In 2013 the Hawks had 27 players on the cup including Jamal Mayers who played just 19 games. The most prominent example of petition added player was Vladimir Konstantinov in 98 who was seriously injured in a car accident after the 97 cup and played no games. In response to your original question, you're right. A player who is no longer with the franchise is not eligible for inclusion on the cup. The Stanley Cup is won by teams not individuals, so being a member of a team that did not win it would immediately disqualify you. ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Jun 14, 2023 |

Remember when Peter Pocklington had his dad’s name snuck onto the Cup and the NHL caught wind of it and had the name stamped out with X’s?

The other recent-ish example was Pascal Dupuis, who retired due to poor health in December 2015, but was added to the cup when the Pens won in 2016.

Pocklington claims to this day the engraver screwed up and used the wrong list of names. Brad Aldrich became the second player Xed off the cup a few years ago.

deoju posted:Jacques Plante has his name misspelled 5 times on the cup. Turk Broda is the only guy to appear on the cup twice in one year (1942) because the engraver didn't realize Turk was a nickname and put Turk Broda and Walter Broda on the cup.

I know George Parros didn't meet the criteria for the Ducks 2007 Cup but they must have petitioned for him. Sean Avery did not get his name on the 2002 Cup but he received a mini replica Cup that all players get. Why do they X out the names? Can they not solder/weld new metal into the cavities and fill them in? Xing them out just gives it a story.

The lettering is all done by hand and the cup is silver. It's very difficult to stamp. They'd have to redo the entire ring to fix mistakes. They also add to the mystique and lore of the cup like the BQSTQN BRUINS. The Stanley Cup is very cool.
