roomtemp Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) So the Devils of course won it 5 times. The superstition is to not touch or lift the trophy but of course all three times Stevens lifted the trophy they won the Cup... now the big question is why didn't he do so in 2001. He touched it took a picture then left it there. Side note: Loved it in 2003 when Gary Thorne was so cock sure he wasn't going to touch it, then when he touched it really really sure Stevens wasn't going to lift it and being proved wrong so much that game. Side Side not: Still pissed at Brodeur for telling Parise not to lift the trophy buying into the superstition.

'7' Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 What to do with the trophy is probably decided spur the moment and I doubt Stevens even remembered what he did in 2000 after they won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) You won the damn thing, pick it up and take a group photo on the ice with it. I love the group picture at center ice with it from 2012. Then take it back to the locker room and be done with it. These superstitions are nonsense. It's not like every guy is lifting it up and skating around with the damn thing. Edited May 26, 2017 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely not true, look how regimented Crosby is after losing the cup the first time doing in one way, then doing it a different way the next 3 times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
