GDT: SCF Game #6 Avs vs Bolts: How bout "Obstructing our way to a Game 7 one crosscheck at a time?” Edition

[hackeyman]

He picked up three trophies in a span of what, 4 days?

Yep and deserved them all.

 

[Machinehead]

If the team sucks for a long enough time I feel like I stop caring about championships. The Giants Super Bowls are sort of irrelevant to me right now.

That's just because they won two. Two finally kills the boner for awhile.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Three are 3 Phil Pritchards too. Triplets. This one in Tampa was born 2 minutes behind the Pritchard that did last year's delivery.

No comb between the 3 of them.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yep and deserved them all.

except the Norris

 

[hackeyman]

Did someone really drop it? My TV is off

Somewhat, as he was skating back to get in the pick he dropped it as he was dropping to the ice so it didn't have far to fall but still

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Sakic got old. Makes me think I'm not that far from being an old fart.

That thing has been repaired a zillion times. Plus the real one isn't being passed around. This is one of 3 replicas while the "original" never leaves the HHOF supposedly.

I know. I’ve seen 2 out of the 3. Both were at the HHoF. This is the authenticated replica Cup as it has the HHoF logo at the base. The original bowl is basically paper thin at this point. Way too fragile. I don’t know which replica was on display at the HHoF when I went. They wouldn’t let me lift it to check.

They should stay in Tampa and do a boat parade and toss Stanley from one boat to the other.

 

[Boris Zubov]

It's pretty awesome to see what a big deal this is to Erik Johnson. Impossible to see his emotions


That not accurate. There is a presentation cup and when it is out making the rounds there is another one at the hall. The one in Tampa tonight is the real/presentation cup

I see. If what you're saying is true, & I have no reason to doubt you, they have the logic screwed up. Makes sense to pass around the copy for situations like this. But what do I know?

 

[NYR94]

The flip side to being the "worst team in the league" is that you get to draft some pretty good players

 

[Kords]

If we had Jack Johnson we would’ve been lifting the cup rn but instead we have Nemeth

Beat me to it. Nemeth must be down bad right now.

One of those bozos would drop it and it'd sink to the bottom of the ocean

Jack Johnson - Stanley Cup champ

 

[Filip Chytil]

Zibanejad would eat tofu out of the Cup when he wins it

 

[JRinNYC]

Wouldn’t be the first time the cup has been underwater.

Colorado ditched Nemeth to put them over the top. Your logic is backward.

Jack Johnson - Stanley Cup champ

Unclear what this had to do with my post you quoted, but as I said earlier, good for him. He deserves this moment in the sun.

 

[Leonardo87]

Tampa finally faced a team that belonged in the SCF, no shortened season, no bubble, no special divisions or play in round. Colorado won the real deal cup.

Tampa can go F themselves, bunch of cap circumventing cheaters. See guys I can be a jerk also. Lol.

Rangers' turn to do this now

 

[will1066]

Let's realize that Johnson only played so much because Girard got hurt. Then they went and crushed the NHL's premiere pairing of McDavid and Draisaitl. Then they had to overcome Kuemper as well as legalized interference and obstruction by Tampa. Absolutely deserved this Cup win.

Your nomination for nicest poster has been rescinded.

How much more could you cheapen the moment of winning? Hey, great win, here's a replica trophy guys!

I've spoken to multiple keepers of the cup in private settings and know this info. Was lucky enough that on the day after the broduer ceremony when all the trophies were near NYC I was invited to a private party in the backroom of a bar (yes this is real) with the real cup protected by one of the keepers. Even in that setting there were rules with it. One of those was that no one was allowed to lift it. I have also seen a replica at the hall. You can see the differences if you've seen both.

Sakic’s in like his mid 50s. Aren’t you under 40-35?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Cooper is a good interview.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Yes Coop, this is it for Tampa. Of course using the injury cop out.

No more picks left to deal for deadline depth.
