Det News blogger drinks from Stanley Cup and brags

Never laid eyes on Lord Stanley's trophy ... but I did once defecate in the Davis Cup. Assuming there is such a thing.

 

Another problem is, those reporters and t.v. personalities made themselves part of the story. Something they should never do.

 

How much do the players respect this tradition when they get the Cup for a day and it ends up in a strip joint or someone's pool? This strikes me as empty Cup dogma.

 

Had the chance a couple times to touch the Cup.

Former hockey player that I am, there was just no way. Absolutely no way.

 

I've held two trophies and drank from one. Drank from the Calder Cup in 1992 (took it from the hands of Max Middendorf sometime around 4 a.m. while some of the boys were sliding naked on the ice after flying home from St. John's and winning the greatest series ever played in hockey history). That was a drunk night.

Held Lord Stanley in 1994 (at Belmont Park, where Eddie Olczyk brought it to a party and up to the press box). Still have the picture. While I don't regret the Calder, I regret hoisting Stanley to this day. Should not have done it, because I didn't earn it.

 

Just for that, I'm touching it like 18 times if I ever get the chance. And before each one, I'm going to say each of your names.

"buckweaver" *touch*
"Rosie" *touch*

It will be YOUR karma!!!

 

And you're unsanitary, too.

 

For the love of Gump Worsley, no, no, no -- a thousand times NO!

The cosmic implications could be staggering.

 

Maybe consider the source, but I do believe I read this in a magazine about a year ago when the local team won:

People have fed their dogs out of the thing. It's not holy.

 

Pee is far from the worst thing that's been in the Cup. I know that, and I hate hockey.

 

That was my above point. All of this reverance for a trophy that has probably been "lifted" countless times for the express purporse of tossing it in a pool, had all manners of fluids -- bodily and otherwise -- in it, and that has likely been used to score enough elicit blow jobs to make Lady Byng cringe.
