No, seriously... I don't know... is that the Stanley Cup?

Yes, it's the Stanley Cup. "From Stanley of Preston"

It was made in Sheefield (sp), England. Don't tell me that I- a lowly Lightning fan, the bottom of the NHL barrel- knows more about "your" cup than you do!

That's not what I meant. I knew where it came from. But way back in 1892 it was given to the amateur hockey champions of Canada so it was originally just for Canada.

I know, just giving you a hard time. All we've heard from Calgary fans is that Tampa knows nothing about hockey and should get the Cup.

Thanks for those pics, SpcaeCanada. We always thought Mike Bolt's name was a good omen.

I'm Canadian to the bone...and I did favor Calgary because they had lots of ex penguins who I have met. I was rooting for those guys. However, the arguement that Tampa doesn't deserve a cup because they aren't a "hockey" town is bogus. Florida is the roller hockey capital of the world. No other southern state has more hockey players (well I'm not sure...but I'm probably right). And it was nice to see Dave Andreychuk win after 22 years in the league. Coming from behind it was a happy ending.

Stanley Cup

hmmm...
