    The Red Wings Are Taking Good Care Of Lord Stanley's Cup

    The Detroit Red Wings have been partying it up with their newly acquired Stanley Cup, taking it to defenseman Chris Chelios' downtown Detroit restaurant for a night of boozing. Play nice with her, fellas. Oop. Too late. You already damaged it. Busted Coverage has a short recap of some of the revelry that lead to the ding in the Cup. More »

    Loving That Stanley Cup


    As is abundantly clear around here, we're hardly the biggest hockey experts, but we're still human, which means we really love the Stanley Cup Trophy. So rarely is any piece of hardware treated with such reverence; heck, in baseball, they try to hump the damn trophy. More »

    Careful, It's Slippery


    This probably wasn't the way to intimidate the Detroit Red Wings coming into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. The goalie, his name is Marc-AndrĂ© Fleury, and there is a caution stripe on that step. Either that or they just mopped. More »

    Who Wants A Trophy-Shaped Cup? (Cup-Shaped Trophy?)

    There once was a man by the name of Stanley, who decided that average trophies were not good enough for hockey teams, so he went and sculpted a cup based on a napkin drawing by Nigel Tufnel. The trophy was supposed to be 35 feet tall, but he got his inches and feet mixed up. More »

    Ducks Fans, Your Decade-Plus Of Suffering Is Over

    We congratulate the Anaheim Ducks on their first Stanley Cup title last night. We can't imagine the relief of Ducks fans across the nation, who were able to sleep easy last night, knowing they must no longer fear that they, like their grandfathers and other ancestors, will die without seeing their beloved, historic Ducks win that long-awaited title.

    NHL Fans Are That Much More Special Today

    If you didn't watch the Stanley Cup Finals Game 2 last night — and of course you did — you might have missed this odd shot of Snoop Dogg, who, for reasons unbeknown to anyone but him (and probably not him either), was wearing a fake mustache. More »

    This *&%$*% Rocks!

    We didn't believe it when we first heard it, so we checked in with Off Wing Opinion and, sure enough, they heard it too. The Hurricanes' Ray Whitney, as he raised the Stanley Cup Monday night: "This f*&%$*% rocks!" Yes, it does. Fine sentiments indeed on what at first looked like a Carolina sweep, that turned into a most worthy series, topped by a somewhat less than dramatic Game 7, which Carolina won 3-1 over Edmonton. But hey, we're just glad they decided to have hockey at all this year. Of course in our opinion, this was all preordained. More »

    Rather Worthwhile Hockey Game Tonight, We Think

    We know we haven't been the most attentive observers of the NHL, like, at all this year, but we think even those involved in the running of the league would have to agree that it appears a wave has crested, and we're all going to need a while until the NHL excites us again. It happens. No one should fret; remember how little we missed the NBA? We can't imagine living without it now. Comes and goes, as they say. More »

    Fan Anger, In Still Life

    An eagle-eyed reader — that is to say, by "eagle-eyed," we mean to say "actually watching hockey" — pointed out this angry fan directly after Edmonton's sudden death goal to win Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night over Carolina. More »

    Lord Stanley Sashays Over To NBC

    In case you haven't noticed (and judging by the ratings, you haven't *), the Carolina Hurricanes have opened up a 2-0 lead against the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. The series moves back to Edmonton (and back to network television) this evening. More »
