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.
Lots of crazy stuff happened to the Cup in the old days before the HOF started sending a handler around the world with it. Crazy stuff still happens to it, but it no longer gets left in streams and pools, now the craziness is generally limited to being used to dispense alcohol and food.
