I got to touch the Stanley Cup

[solar7647]

My local ECHL Hockey team is the affiliate of the BlackHawks and the Wings. So The BlackHawks brought the Stanley Cup to the Toledo Walleye game last night and I got to get my picture taken with it and got to touch it. I have to wait to the 15th to get the picture of me with it, but got a few of my own. It was the coolest thing ever!

To top it off it was a great game that we won in OT.

Once I get my picture of me with it I will post it to prove I got too!

Re: I got to touch the Stanley Cup

Have you been to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto? Could spend the day just looking at some of the names on the retired Stanley Cups that were on display. I had my picture taken with one of them and at the time I felt like a "tourist", but glad I did now. Congratulations on having the courage to feel like a tourist but instead had enough respect for all the players who sacrificed to earn having their name added to the 'cup'.

Re: I got to touch the Stanley Cup

ahhh yes......lord stanleys mug

congrats on being able to see it ....it is a real peice of north american history.

i have a chipped tooth because of that thing...lol

i was very lucky in the 80's to be a DJ at a major night club in edmonton alberta.
the oilers came to the bar all the time.....
i know most of them. lowe gretz...mess...fuhr....the first time i met glenn anderson he was sitting im my DJ booth watching playboy tv on the monitors all night....i had to work around him......boy did we get drunk...lol
after the oilers won the cup.....they would bring it to the bar.......we would instantly close the doors and call it a private party.....lol...all 700 of us.
wayne and paul held the cup up for me to drink champaign out of. the vid is still used at the bar.

one of my only real regrets is that we were to close for me to ask for autographed stuff !....i felt funny about it, so i didnt ask.
