Is that Larry Lucchino? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
The best I have is a pic of me with the Stanley Cup.
Good pic though, Toro!

I have like 4 of me with the Cup since the Cup spends 75% of its time at the Hockey Hall of Fame, about 15 mins from my house, and I take everyone I can to it to look around.
I also have one of me in net, playing at Maple Leaf Gardens, one of me as a 12-year old meeting Patrick Roy, on the field at Brumfield Stadium (Maccabi Tel Aviv Soccer team's home stadium), me on the ice at Varsity Arena (U of Toronto Varsity Hockey Arena) in nothing but a jockstrap and skates (late night; not streaking.), and me riding the bumper cars with Ernie Whitt, former Blue Jays catcher.
Oh, and me and a drunk Corey Haim, in my living room, taken about a month ago.
There's nothing like the Cup though. I personally liked to just look at it. Read the names, feel the history.

Nothing beats the Stanley Cup. Unfortunately the closest the Bruins will get to it in my lifetime already happened when it was here for the all-star game in 96.

You're not lying. Also, I heard Potvin came out of the closet.

See, the problem is, MLB's trophy has no history. So inevitably when a trophy discussion comes up, those who have seen the Stanley Cup in person feel compelled to mention it. I touched the thing when I had my pic taken with it, the same cup held by Gretzky, Howe, Lemeuix, etc. That's pretty cool.
And yes, I realize that last sentence is right in 2kf's wheelhouse.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not get carried away.
First, when they announced that there would be no hockey this year, I nearly wet myself with glee. I let out a geshrai and ran around like a vilde chaya.
Second, I thought Gamblor was talking about the poster, not the trophy.
Third, I only know the name Potvin because I overheard it while railbirding a 1/2 table at PokerRoom a few years ago. I casually inserted that he had come out of the closet, and they worked it into the conversation. All I know about Potvin (and hockey for that matter) is that whenever I mention that Potvin came out of the closet around a bunch of guys discussing hockey, I'm immeditately accepted as a knowledgeable hockey fan. The reactions are usually along the lines of "Well, I think we all saw that one coming."
As for nolanfan, how about a LL bet for KotZ tonight?

Best I can do I a picture of me with Lord Stanley's Cup, though my wife's youngest daughter once drank beer out of the Calder Cup. (pretty damn bad when that's the best hockey news - well, BU can still win the NCAA'a /images/graemlins/wink.gif)

You're right of course. After 26 WS wins, who cares about the most monumental choke in the history of sports?

[/ QUOTE ]precisely, because every Yankee fan knows that every year they have a realistic chance to win the WS. I am sure Boston fans will never forget the "choke", as is the tradition of all Boston fans, to never forget anything until something even more absurd happens to replace it.

Local bar, the Madison (in Toronto, at the corner of Madison and Bloor), one Saturday night in walks one guy in a suit, followed by Kris Draper, the Cup, and another guy in a suit.
Draper was filling the Cup with beer, and giving a drink to anyone who would take it.
I stayed far away. I want my first drink out of the Cup to be earned

What's really funny is that Boston fans don't seem to mind that it took a choke of that magnitude (heretofore unimaginable) for Boston to FINALLY win another Series. I wonder what it would take for Boston to repeat ... an Extinction Level Event?

Bullshiit. We Sox fans, most of us anyway, don't look at it as the greatest choke of all time. Some may say it but it's only to get at the Yankee fans who have been tormenting us for years. I for one have never said it or thought it because looking back I can't find one instance in any of the 4 games where they really choked, the Sox just dug in and pulled off the greatest comeback of all time. That's the way I view it.

most serious baseball fans that i come into contact with dont use the terms 'choke' or 'curse'. the ones who do are the ones you see shitfaced on TV during game 7 of the ALCS.
its pretty simple actually. the sox were better than the yankees last year and they beat them. the fact that they took the next 4 after losing the first 3 is just happenstance.
It looked better in AZ, but then whenever it's not in NY or LA it looks great!!
