andycumbee19 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That's not exactly the story I've heard when I've been there. They're both the "real" cup; one is called the "presentation" cup, which is given out quickly and is likely to have more errors in it than the other. I forget the term they used for that one.Of course, neither are the original cup; that's in the vault.And while you can touch it, I made a point of not doing so. I'm weird that way.Not 'till you win it, eh?The Stingrays here in SC had the cup here one time when I was a STH back in 05 or 06. I took my pic with it, and I made sure I didn't touch it. It really creeps me out when people touch it. Like seriously, It makes my stomach turn to the point I have to walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why does it bother you or creep you out?I don't get that reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycumbee19 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I don't know, honestly. I think it's just been burned into my mind since I started watching hockey when I was little. You don't touch it 'til you win it. And yes, I'm aware that I'll never touch it. Did you used to be a Thrashers fan by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I made sure I didn't touch it. It really creeps me out when people touch it. Like seriously, It makes my stomach turn to the point I have to walk away.No offense, but that's pretty -ing weird. I have to ask, why would you share something like that about yourself? Again, I mean no offense, but I don't read that and think wow, this guy is one hardcore fan. I read it and I think wow, what's wrong with this guy?

IceCap Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I get not wanting to touch the Cup if you're an NHL player, or even an aspiring NHL player with a reasonable chance of making it. Then you really don't want to "touch it until you win it." If you're just a fan who's never going to play in the NHL though? Touch away. I know I have. Though it is a giant silver trophy, so I guess I can see the rationale behind not wanting to get it all fingerprint-y.

cmm Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I don't have a problem with touching it, especially if you're a fan. But whenever someone drinks from it I cringe a little. Babies have gone to the bathroom in the Cup. I don't care how many times they clean it, no way I'd drink from that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Me with all the Raiders SB trophies. Well, almost. They're the replica trophies on display at the Raider Image store at Universal CityWalk. Still...they're sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm never going to play in any professional sports leagues, you can bet your first born child I'm going to touch the leagues respective trophy. Now if I'm playing beer league and there's a trophy or for instance I've been in a fantasy football league for years and refused to touch the trophy until we won this year. If I can win it, I won't touch it. But c'mon, Lord Stanley ain't calling my name any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleRush Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 So I went to Fred & Steve's Steakhouse at Twin River casino in RI.It is owned by former Bill/49er/Patriot Fred Smerlas and former Cowboy/Giant/Jet/Patriot Steve Diossie.Over the bar, in a glass case is a replica Lombardi trophy.DiOssie played on the SB 25 winning Giants.Upon closer look, under the NFL shield it saysSB XXVNew YorkFootball Giants.Anyone know if the real Giants Lombardis are engraved this way?http://www.bigblueunited.com/2012/01/super-bowl-giants-steve-deossie-shows-pride-for-his-son-and-former-team-deep-in-enemy-territory.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I could he wrong, but I dont think so. I've seen replicas for the Packers Steelers Super Bowl for sale that are as well engraved like that.
