What exactly did the Tampa Bay Lightning do to the Cup?

It’s a fake Cup. The dude with the white gloves who trucks the fake cup around has to be feeling like the exposed phony he is.

From the article:

“That’s a dent alright! Luckily, the Stanley Cup that was damaged is the traveling Stanley Cup that’s used for celebrations such as this. The original Stanley Cup sits at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, safe and sound.”

There are actually 3 cups. The original from Lord Stanley of Preston himself is indeed safe and in a vault at the Hockey Hall of Fame. This cup (the one that was damaged) is the one that replaced the original Cup in the 1960's. The third is at the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Great Hall for display purposes when the 2nd cup is off getting bent out of shape by various champions. Remind me to tell you what the Rangers did to it in 1994. Hint, it was taken to strip clubs.

The Ranger players actually got so drunk, they left the Cup at the Scores strip club in Manhattan.

Sorta like the Guy LaFleur story in the 70's. The Canadians had won the cup at home, and Guy was to take the Cup home with him. On his way home, he got a flat tire. He changed the tire, arrived home, and his wife asked him where the Cup was. Guy had left it on the city streets of Montreal. He went back to where he had the flat tire, and there was the Cup still sitting on the street.
