The 2007 Stanley Cup Journal - The official Blog of the Ducks time with the cup

Mods might want to sticky this thread.

This is a blog that will get updated twice a week over the summer as every member of the Ducks will get their turn with the cup.

This is something that the Hockey hall of fame has been doing for a few years now and it's a pretty cool read as the summer progresses.

Here's the link and there's already a couple of entries:

Enjoy.

Very cool. And is there a more beautiful picture than this:

haha OD's lab eating out of the cup is priceless.

There is something so fitting about this picture... The stache helping young ladies drink from his massive Stanley "pimp" cup....

Wow...That is like straight out of Ron Jeremy's movies.

"get on your knees ***** and swallow"

EDIT: Selänne looks like he got a great idea for the summer. He just bought a new 74-foot boat (the last one sunk as you might remember) and it's gonna be a summer full of partying there.

The Cup also went to a few beaches.

'bout time the Ducks started targeting the military bases in San Diego county. The amount of hockey fans at these bases is astronomical.

New entry on the journal today.

http://www.hhof.com/html/exSCJ07_07.shtml

New Stanley cup fact from yesterday's entry:

Much to their amazement (and great enjoyment), the boys discovered that five bottles of Scotch fit very comfortably into the bowl of the Stanley Cup.

:biglaugh:

Got this pic off of yahoo--Kunitz looks like a little kid:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f165/NativeHalo/Kunitz.jpg

I was supposed to see the Cup today in Brooklyn, NY. Ryan Getzlaf was gonna bring it to the Aviator Sports center for that Got Skillz kids tournament they advertised on the Ducks site a few days ago. When I got to the place there was a sign saying that the Cup missed its connecting flight in Chicago and couldn't make it today. :(

Incidentally, I showed this picture to a friend of mine, and he got in the mother of all digs:

"I don't know what's more shocking, the photo itself or that Paul Kariya isn't in it."

I rooted for the ducks myself and im so happy they won but hopefully 2008 Flyers will Suceed so Party Hardy

Joe Motzko took the Cup to his hometown
http://www.hhof.com/graphfea/SCJ07_11a.jpg
and Ryan Carter's got it next (Friday's update).

Ha. A DARE community? I thought they stopped that program.

The funny thing is that apparently this is the 2nd time (in 2 years no less) the Cup's been in Bemidji. For a town of 12000 that's impressive. How long until someone takes the Cup to Orange County (for a personal day)?

Brian Salcido Summer of 2009.

I am hoping one of the Nieds brings it to Vancouver.

what game did ryan carter play in it's been too long

Ryan signed a contract with the Anaheim Ducks on July 12, 2006. After a productive season with the Portland Pirates in his first year of pro, he got the call he'd been waiting for since he was firing balls around on the streets of White Bear Lake, Minnesota. On May 17, in a Conference Final contest against the Red Wings, Ryan Carter made his NHL debut. He played three games in that series, and then got to play in the Stanley Cup Final when Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle include his name on the gamesheet on June 4.

From Marchant's day with the cup... the Marchañata! http://www.hhof.com/graphfea/SCJ07_14d.jpg

Also, pictures from the Cup's tour of So Cal. Funny that as much as I've flown out of John Wayne I've still never seen that statue.

Anyone find it kind of funny that the Cup makes grown men act like a girl posing her doll? Putting it in chairs and looking through telescopes and all?

Not the Stanley Cup Blog, but a good interview with Moen nonetheless. :)

CanWest: Would you rather have Scott Niedermayer's beard or George Parros's moustache?
Moen: That's tough. I'm going to say Parros's moustache only because there's a little too much grey in Scotty's beard.
CanWest: He grew more facial hair this spring than I've grown in my whole life.
Moen: (Laughs) I know. Me, too.

Hey, enjoy this thread. Last year, if there was ever a down day for me, I could always go to this site and brighten my day!

jiggy's wife is damn hot

The party was in full bloom when the police arrived at 2AM. "Good morning, Mr. Pronger. Look, we know you're having a good time and we want you to have a good time, but we're responding to a noise complaint from a residence a quarter-mile away!
Hehe, matching children!!
http://www.hhof.com/graphfea/SCJ07_19b.jpg

So Pronger had his day with the Cup in Anaheim? Does this mean we won't have to hear cracks about him demanding to be traded anymore?

The other timely thing is that there's plenty of Edmonton fans on our boards now with the Penner offer sheet. I'm sure they'll enjoy Pronger's day with the cup. http://www.hhof.com/html/exSCJ07_19.shtml

I thought he already had his day with the cup at Dryden, Ontario. I guess he gets to have it in Anaheim too?

I'd love to see what Edmonton fans have to say about that picture.

Selänne will have his Cup Party in central Helsinki in few hours. Rumours are that he might tell about his future there. Let's see...

Edit. Teemu's future is still unknown. He said that the decision is harder than he thought, but he will tell it in august. Btw Teemu's wife Sirpa is pregnant and they will come back to OC in august or october.

Thanks for the pictures Jokeri!! :handclap:
And congrats to Teemu and his family. Hope their baby is healthy.

Took the boat trip to island fortress outside Helsinki city centre earlier today with the daughter. Teemu's boat ("Lucky Eight") was drifting right outside the harbor with a bunch of people enjoying the sun. We passed them close by when the man himself hoisted the Cup on the rear deck for all of us to admire. You can imagine everyone young and old was excited. Gotta love Teemu for little moments like this: he is so enthusiastic about the game and everything, and so considerate that he is always ready to share some of his enjoyment with others, anybody really. Class act, pure and simple. :handclap:

What happened to Kurri? They asked him a couple questions and he just disappeared? They should have kept him onstage, 2 all time greats in one event.

And Kurri looks kind of fat now. Although that's what happens to most athletes when they retire.

Speaking of Teemu has there been anything new on his decision front? I have an e1, friend of mine told me that a contract was already done and it was just waiting to be announced... I don't know why they'd wait for. But it was a steal for the Ducks, which leads me to believe it's not true. How important is Selanne's return now that the Ducks have lost Nieds and Penner?

Sure they've gained Tuzzi and Schneider, who are both suitable replacements.. I just feel if the Ducks want to compete for the cup again, they'll need increased contributions from Getzlaf and Perry, and a healthy Selanne.

Joe DiPenta brought it back to Cole Harbour today and I got to meet him and touch the cup, it was an awesome day. On top of it all, he took it to the IWK, childrens hospital later on and I'm sure its meant a lot to those kids...

Yea, it was nice to see Joe today with the cup.
I was talking to his father, Barry - who use to babysit me when I was a wee one:) - and he mentioned something about the IWK, then the cottage.

Bryzgalov has quite the, uh, fashion sense :eek:

Parros had it and took it to a pig roast

Because the Cup had sustained some damages this summer, no one was allowed to hoist it over their heads.

Here's some pictures: http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070825/SPORTS/708250337/1013/SPORTS08

Is Parros wearing a kilt? Never mess with a man in a dress...

I dont think it is a kilt, look at those stripes on legs, they are inwards, which indicates that are pants...at least I think

New entries this week. Two that I thought worth mentioning:
Tuesday's entry -
http://www.hhof.com/graphfea/SCJ07_29d.jpg
Now that's dedication! Anaheim's Head Athletic Trainer, Tim Clark shows off his new permanent tattoo dedicated to the Ducks' championship in the 2006-07 season. (Walt Neubrand/HHOF)
and
Friday's entry -
http://www.hhof.com/graphfea/SCJ07_30c.jpg
To cap off what was an eventful day to say the least, Ryan Shannon ended his date with the Cup proposing to his girlfriend Jessica. Oh and by the way…she said yes! (Mike Bolt/HHOF)

And how sad: Mark's Mom, Debbie, died during the Ducks' successful path to the Stanley Cup (cancer).

I figured I'd mention the Cup being in the Rose Parade.

Brad May may have a broken foot, but it doesn't mean he can't be in a parade!

Amusing tidbit: they had to get a waiver to have the Cup be in the parade and not covered by flowers/organic material. Other amusing tidbit: May's wearing last year's jersey. Apparently he wasn't worried about the wind resistance while on the fast-moving float.
