flashgordon 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 I was actually just walking outside by the Hall of Fame (it's in the building where I work) and saw them wheeling the case with that cup into a limo - one of the "guards" was that guy you see in the commericials as the keeper of the Stanley Cup. Anyhow, I'm glad I didn't see the actual cup because the picture is freaking me out. It's like a trophy from bizarro land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Datsyuk*13 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 The cup top thing screws off and the teams get to keep it is what i heard. then they replace it with a new one each year. Kinda awkward but not a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asdfa 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 wow, looks fuglier than any other trophy. Why do new trophys have to be the "abstract" and "expressionistic" kind? i actually like the old school cups that were like a big wine glass or a bowl on top of a wood base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I just hope it looks better in real life than they look in the photo and on TV. It reminds me more of a clear plaque than a cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fonya 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I think if you get all the images out of your mind of traditional trophys like the stanley cup it actually looks alright. I still would like somethings more tradiontial but it looks pretty neat.EDIT- It would look better if it was just the inside part and not the clear outside.

This "designer" just happens to be the most famous and respected architect in the world. It is a fantastic trophy, but the problem is that 99% of the hockey world just doesn't understand Frank Gehry.edit: I hate spelling mistakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted May 17, 2004 Canada Cup was cool, however, it wasn't a cup! The WC trophy looked like hydraulics - you can put it on an Impala...LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle_M 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2004 How can you call it the Canada Cup when it's not a cup?! ;) Someone should either make it into a cup or rename it the Canada Trophy or something like that. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 17, 2004 It could have been some cheesy globe-like thing with a cup on top. At least it isn't that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
