I don't follow Hockey that closely so I'm being genuine here. How the fuck is Florida getting the brakes beaten off of them like this in the NHL finals? [Reply]

The NFL needs to step it up.
I always wondered if that cup remains in Vegas until the new NHL season starts. Or do they make a fresh cup yearly and inscribe all the past winners on the cup rings again? Or is this one the original and a different one is made for the year's winner to keep? [Reply]

The cup is the same and each player gets it for a day to do pretty much anything they want with it. The rings on the cup are removable. Once the bottom ring is filled up the top ring is removed and sent to the NHL hall of fame. All the other rings are moved up a spot and a new ring is put on the bottom. [Reply]

It's been the same hunk of metal (with one replica) for like 100 years. They rotate the oldest rings off every 10 years or so when they need to make more room. [Reply]

The guy who takes care of the cup and the NHL trophies went to college with my friend , had the conn smyth in his truck when he came to his 40th bd party, I was sick and missed it though . [Reply]
Not only is Vegas disciplined and peaking, but they are large and just whipping FLorida physically at every turn. They have physically dominated most teams, but when you get frustrated at the other team dominating the puck, the frustration really sets in and you get away from your game. Vegas is that good right now.... [Reply]
