The Hockey Hall of Fame has recovered a half century-old treasure, the blueprint of today's Stanley Cup. The undated sketches are thought to have been made in 1956, about the time the Cup was changed from a two-piece trophy with a removable bowl into today's famous one-piece, five-barrel model. The drawings measure about 16 inches by 20, and show how the older model was to be rebuilt and retouched. "We found the plans about five or seven years ago, lost it and were always looking for it again," said Craig Campbell, manager of photography archives for the Hall. "Just recently we were cleaning out the area of one of our retired workers and found it in a map case.

still a good story - just one more piece of hockey history we can see when we go to the Hall of Fame. Last time I went was right after the 2002 Olympics, I got to see "The Loonie"...

Hahaha Spo, were you the one who retired and left the plans in your work-space in a map case?

Another thing, why the pic of Denis Potvin holding the Cup. Couldn't they find anything else?

One possibility is its one of those story within a story pics. Remember the rumors that D.P. was; well, playing for "the other team?" Check out the guy "behind" him in the pink tie. But nobody is talking because the picture was taken too close to MSG.
