Travellin' Stanley

For those of you who don't follow hockey closely, and shame on you for not, there are numerous traditions surrounding the Stanley Cup. First and foremost is that players never touch it until after hoisting it in victory on the ice, and even then it is passed to the captain first, then his assistants, and then to the rest of the team (although there have been a few breaches of this in history, but wikipedia it or google it or something). The most interesting tradition is that each player gets to take it home for a day, in the presence of someone from the Hockey Hall of Fame of course. This of course gets to the meat of this post. The last time Mario Lemieux had the Stanley Cup was when he captained the Penguins to back to back championships in '90-'91 and '91-'92. When it was in his possession it somehow ended up at the bottom of his pool. Fast forward to now, and during a team party he hosted after the victory parade...well, see for yourself. I guess the guys didn't think it was clean enough.
