Or a dummyI bet it was the real Stanley Cup. He said it isn't.
It has to be otherwise it would be pointless to have a real one just sitting there.
You can't be serious, it's obviously the real thing!
No, the real one bought by Lord Stanley is in a vault in the Hall of Fame in Toronto. As of right now, the vault is closed, guarded by lasers, motion detectors, and a big guy sitting at its door named, Tiny. It's done so because, well, common sense dictates that it's priceless (as in, not even someone with a Mastercard can buy it). That was the Travel Cup in Detroit last night, and the Display Cup is in Toronto for people to touch in HHOF. I heard they switch them around from time to time though.
Yes it's the real Stanley Cup but only part of it. most of the rings are in the hockey hall of fame, otherwise I think it's over 11 feet tall. Each player of the winning team gets to keep it at home for a few days durring the off season.
There are actually three Stanley Cups: the original bowl, the authenticated Cup, and the replica at the Hall of Fame. The original bowl purchased by Lord Stanley, and physically awarded to the champion for the first 71 years of competition, is currently displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario. The authenticated version or Presentation Cup was created in 1963 by Montreal silversmith Carl Petersen. It is authenticated by the seal of the Hockey Hall of Fame on the bottom of the Cup, which can be seen when winning players lift the Cup over their heads, and it is the one currently awarded to the champions of the playoffs and used for promotions. This version was made in secret, and its production was only revealed three years later. The replica trophy, called the Replica Cup, was created in 1993 by Montreal silversmith Louise St. Jacques to be used as a stand-in at the Hockey Hall of Fame whenever the Presentation Cup is not available for display.
