For everyone who made me feel crazy yesterday – SHAME

Not included, it hasn’t been brought out at the start of a series since before the 60s ✨
Is this like the groom seeing his bride before the wedding ceremony?
Like it was the gimp from Pulp Fiction.
Okay I totally thought this was unusual yesterday but I was just told I was drunk…
Kind of odd and maybe takes away from the unveiling after the victory, but not the worst thing. Not a hill to die on.
Y’all just be happy that it wasn’t brought to us by Coca Cola, the official soda beverage product of NHL hockey. In addition to our cosponsors Dodge RAM….its a truck!
The Cup is literally the center of the NHL’s marketing (for better or not). Seems a bit odd but not the worst impulse. Whoever wins the thing will care not at all
This was awkward and I didn’t like it.
Personally, I like “as a reminder of what’s at stake”. Like these guys might forget this is what they’ve been playing the sport their whole lives for.
The entire introduction ceremony was pure cringe
“here is the stanley cup in case u forgot what u’ve been chasing your whole lives, it’s shiny and tall, remember?!”
We’re lucky. From what Elliot Friedman said it sounds like this was the compromise and the nhl wanted to do a big speech about how this is what it comes down to and this is what you’ve been fighting for.
I don’t think it’s a *terrible* idea, it’s just not what we’re accustomed to.
Imagine if they’d been bringing it out like this for the past 60 years, and suddenly they decided to do it the other way. Pretty sure people would be up in arms over it.
Mcdavid was trying not to look at it as it came out.. he knew it was awkward seeing the love of his life before the actual ceremony
2-3 weeks? For one series?? 1-2 you mean??
They actually did it just to remind people that the Stanley cup is not, in fact, that giant insulated mug in your mom’s car.
What is this, the WSoP?
people are really turning a nothing burger into a super sized combo.
Very odd…
Bettman can’t do anything right. No big surprise.
The cup should never be in the building unless one team has a chance to lift it,and you don’t shine it up until it looks like a presentation is imminent.
I was kind of annoyed by this too. I prefer when it wasn’t spotted in house until it was winnable that night.
It’s known as…a dumb fuck’n idea.
Even my wife said “that’s not supposed to be in the building.”
I thought it was cool. Maybe I’m in the minority
I thought it was kind of cool.
Here it is, boys. Start slobbering.
I wish I could be upset about my team having to look at the Stanley Cup before playing a game that will factor into deciding who lifts the Stanley Cup
