The Stanley Cup is OK after taking a tumble during the Red Wings' celebrations in Detroit. NHL spokeswoman Bernadette Mansur said Saturday that the Cup got a slight dent Friday after some players took the trophy to Cheli's Chili Bar, a downtown restaurant owned by Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios. "I know nothing about it," said Brett Lebda, who Internet rumors insist dropped the Cup. "I didn't see a thing," Chelios said. "I looked at the Cup today and there were no dings. It's a rumor." Mansur says the dent was smoothed out, and the trophy was expected to keep making the rounds.

Must have been a rumor started by Cindy Crosby.

you should not be allowed to type until you come up with a funny joke.

Yeah...Ask Chelios. The same Chelios that didn't know anything about The U.S team trashing the Hotel after being eliminated a number of years ago.

Anyway, The Wings own the cup they can do what they want with it. I'm not worried about it, the Cup is a tough as a Canadian Hockey player!

I'm sorry, I mean Cindy Crysbaby.

Personally, I thought it was pretty funny.....somebody have a bad tatse left in their mouth?

If you know the history of this trophy, a little ding is nothing. I'm sure they have a repair kit in the case they carry it in. However, I think they should have a duplicate made that they send out on the road with these liquor soaked partyers. (Who's to say they don't)

Cindy Crysbaby....wow that's very clever......riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

How entertaining was the finals for everyone?

June 8, 2008  10:34 AM ET

the only people I know that care about hockey live in a state along the Canadian border.

NBA finals pull a 8.7 rating , what was the Stanley Cup 0.4 ?
I think the WNBA still has a larger national audience.

June 8, 2008  10:48 AM ET

I live in AZ and care.

June 8, 2008  11:01 AM ET

LF,

The NBA is for inner city gangstas

June 8, 2008  11:19 AM ET

But AZ does not count. They can't even keep the correct time...

June 8, 2008  11:22 AM ET

Yes AZ should have the outmoded DST so we can have an extra hour of 110 degree heat

slow day.........

June 8, 2008  11:56 AM ET

The NBA sucks.

June 8, 2008  12:28 PM ET

Jerome Iginla is awesome

the nba is so boring to watch a full game when pressure is one in hockey and the teams are giving their all it is so much fun to watch it doesnt deserve the low ratings

It all adds to the history and legacy of the Stanley Cup, like it getting sutck at the bottom of Mario's swimming pool. I'm sure the Wings will have a great time celebrating this summer.
There are actually three Stanley Cups, two at the HOF, and the one that travels. The original at the HOF is in a vault with about a 3 ft. steel door.
