The Cup gets manhandled by so many people every year... Families, friends, kids... It was only ever meant that players/coaches not touch it. ?

Maybe a Canadian thing, i don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's supposed to make a difference...I just think you're supposed to earn the right IMO. A few years ago I was up on the French River and caught a very large pike. This guy asked if he could get a photo of him holding it. Kind of like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm just happy to divert the topic away from those awful uniforms... however, if they play well in them. I will be first in line to lobby for a permanent switch. you all have no idea how difficult stupidstitions have made my life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get to touch it unless you win it and earn the right. Has nothing to do with whether a team will win it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm that close, I'm touching the **** out of it. I don't have a lot of time for reverence for symbols/inanimate objects. For players, I get the superstition thing kind of. But for fans whose team has won. Touch the **** out of it if you get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've grown up with hockey as a religion. I think it's kind of a "not worthy" thing...oh my god, IT'S ACTUALLY THE STANLEY FREAKIN' CUP! I swear you'll be struck by lightning if you didn't actually play and you touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the concept is news to me But over 40 years of paying for tickets and jerseys and living and dying each year with the team, etc., AND with Philadelphia as part of the name of the team, if the Flyers ever win it, I'm touching the Cup enough for all three of us and won't blink.

I don't know if that's the take on it or not... As fans you've won it too? I dunno. I disagree about the Canadian thing too because plenty of Canadian players' families get pictures holding it and drinking from it. The NHL book of etiquette lists it as a player superstition only... Not fans. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant it as in regards to your comment... Fans spend years riding the coaster of ups and downs with their team and the teams don't exist without the fans.

FD19372 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I get it that it's their "golden anniversary" year of being a franchise, but they should've made it a much deeper shade of gold, or brought back the black jerseys and placed the gold numbering on them.
