The real cup will show up on an episode of storage wars Texas. Inside will be the trophy and the mummified remains of Brett Hull.

People sold homemade never-were Nordiques Wolf jerseys, I guess it's harder to get access to the dye-printing machine you'd need to make one of these, huh.

I just realized extraskater has full shooting stats like miss%, slapshot%, etc. It's fun to see that Ovechkin scored 20 slapshot goals last season and Kessel a whopping zero - assuming they recorded it correctly, since there is some fuzziness between a hard snapshot and a slapshot with a short windup/wristshot with a quick release.

It did inform me that Bozak doesn't have an unusually large miss%, he just has an abnormally high sh% and/or only shoots from in close. Maybe he'd score 30 20 if he stopped making lovely centering passes or was actually a good player.

Also a fun stat: the only person with a worse on-net % on the powerplay than Phaneuf's 37% was... David Clarkson. Too bad it's only from a sample of 14 shots, of which Clarkson missed 4 and had 5 blocked - probably why he didn't get more PP time, huh?

So there are several errors in the cup too? Also, what of the replica cup, is that what they give to people for their stanley cup at home town tours when the real one returns to HHOF? it is the real one presented at finals, right?

(Also. I also like the teal flyers jersey.)

There are two Stanley Cups, the presentation cup and the display cup. One of them is always on display at the hall of fame. The presentation cup has the Xs.

The original bowl that Lord Stanley donated has been on permanent display at the hall for a while.

They have all the removed bands in there as well, it's pretty cool. I was in TO on training one day and had an afternoon to kill so I spent it at the HHOF. It was an afternoon well spent.

The American HHOF is probably boring but I wouldn't know firsthand because it's in bumblefuck Minnesota and it was closed the one day I went through that area.

So I took a picture of a giant 30 foot tall hockey stick statue they built in the town instead.

Specifically, since the wording here can be taken 2 ways, the display/replica cup is displayed when the presentation cup is out of the HHoF for whatever reason.

The display cup never leaves the HHoF and the Cup anywhere outside is always the presentation cup.

It's probably correct since Kessel's stick might make it nearly impossible to do a slapshot, it only has 70 flex.

Kessel has one of the best slapshots in the league. He can shoot like 102, 103. Really annoying sometimes that he doesn't utilize it.

My buddy who plays way more NHL video games then he does watch hockey referred to it as a video game slapshot and he's 100% accurate. It looks computer assisted, like you put NHL 14 into three button mode.

in arbitration the team picks a low number, the player a high number and the arbiter splits the difference and gives subban just under $7m. the real questionable figure is subban only asking for $8.5.

It's like I'm seeing double... four Subbans!

Also:

quote:

1. How does one go about meeting Magic Johnson in Monaco?
PK: Luck, a lot of luck. And being in Monaco. [smiles]

...

4. Staying on the basketball theme: With LeBron James returning to Cleveland this summer, have you ever considered going home to play in Toronto?
PK: Um, I’d be wrong to say that I haven’t thought about it. But one thing’s for sure: Montreal’s a great place to play. The start to a tremendous career — hopefully — has been great in Montreal, when you think that we’ve put together a team that’s been in the playoffs in three out of four years. I’ve been a big part of it. I’ve had individual success as well as team success. You look at last year, what we accomplished. And really, just setting the stage for a legacy there that, possibly, some players will never have in any organization. So I look at that first. But definitely, to think that, at some point, you may have the opportunity to play in your hometown? Yeah, it’s unique. But I’m not in a position to elaborate any more on that. All I can say is that I’ve heard a lot about it, I’ve thought about it — but I’m very happy where I am right now, and they’ve treated me so well.”

Stupid summer hockey internet poll news:

TSN ran a poll saying who was the more important franchise player: Benn or Malkin. Now I'd argue Malkin too, but one being Canadian, Benn one. TSN then called for a revote. They then suspended the revote, and said Malkin won. Now Benn is announced as the winner.
