Typos on the Stanley Cup

[trifectarich]

Neat story.

I never knew this. I just assumed it was perfect . . . checked and double-checked.

One cup quirk isn't actually a mistake, but a victim of an unfortunate change in popular lexicon. Frank Selke was an assistant manager for the Maple Leafs when they won the cup in 1945. His title is abbreviated as "ass man."

;D

By the way, don't google "Ass man" at work.

NO GOAL!

 

[Mystery_Meat]

For starters, it's actually supposed to be the Stanley Cap

 

[RickStain]

the engraver may have to contend with the likes of Ruslan Fedotenko, Dustin Byfuglien and Niklas Hjalmarsson.

For the last two, at least, he really won't.

It's amusing, but is there really any excuse? New York "Ilanders"?

Video evidence showed there was no toe in the crease.

You're right. It was his entire left skate.

 

[Armchair_QB]

You want some cheese to go with that fine whine?

You know, rules are rules, but ****, if that is what you're quibbling over, something's wrong.

Truly the greatest shame of all hockey that this man is immortalized on Lord Stanley's cup:

That's a great story. Mr. Cougar and I went and saw the Stanley Cup about a year and a half ago and I made sure to look for a few of those typos - Adam Deadmarch, Peter Pocklington's dad, etc. The one panel that jumps out is 2004-2005: SEASON NOT PLAYED.

On a side note. Mike Bolt has great stories about where he's been with the Cup.

This is what happens when you start laying off copy editors.

That was just Hull's first step to the Stanley Cup celebration that followed.

Get over it, Buffalo fans. That was in the third overtime of Game 6. Even if the goal is waved off, there's no guarantee you win the damn thing. It's not like it was Game 7.

Funny, the response I got from a former coworker was "their copy editor took the buyout and is now blogging from Moose Jaw."

I'm not a Buffalo fan but given the league's zero tolerance that year about toes in the crease, that was an egregious ****-up.
