The Penguins desecrated the cup by leaving it in Mario's pool overnight. Pittsburgh will continue to suffer and probably should lose their team.
Didn't know that ... desecrating the Stanley Cup in this manner is unconscionable. This cup is the 'Holy Grail' of the NHL ... I've seen it hoisted in jubilation many times by victorious teams over the several decades I've been around ... grew up in Canada. The Penguins should be banished from the NHL. Screw Mario Lemieux.
I have talked to some former NHL players who have had the privilege of having The Cup for a day. Believe me, having it in a swimming pool is nothing compared to what that cup has been through.
Some swimming pool chlorine is probably a good thing.
BTW. Mario's pool isn't the only time The Cup went swimming.
