johnyvegas Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 So i just found out that Cup is going to be 5 minutes from my house on Sunday. I guess there is a kid who won the Discover Card "Spend a day with the cup" essay contest. So it will be hanging at the Cicero Twin Rinks at noon tomorrow. FYI, Cicero is about 15 minutes North of Syracuse if ayone else want to see the cup live.
rbochan Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 Damn. Wish I'd known about this sooner or I'd be there.
johnyvegas Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Posted May 7, 2012 Score! Just thought I'd share. So cool.
qwksndmonster Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 Did you steal it and haul it over to Buffalo?
Sabre Dance Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Having had the chance to see (and touch) the Cup several years ago (right at my place of employment!), my advice is that if you ever get the chance to go see it close-up, DO It! There is a definite vibe around the Cup - so much history, so many great names engraved on it. Seeing it held aloft by a Sabre captain on a parade float rolling down Delaware Avenue is still a dream (hopefully within reach).
spndnchz Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Awesome man! I got a chance to see and touch it in 06-07. I never got my nerve up to touch it. Superstitious I guess.

Just don't pull a Baba-booey and hoist it above your head yourself! :doh:

As you might imagine, it feels cool - literally and figuratively. And I did not grab it and raise it over my head - I'll leave that to Mr. Pominville....
johnyvegas Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Posted May 11, 2012 Awesome man! I got a chance to see and touch it in 06-07. I never got my nerve up to touch it. Superstitious I guess. Thx! And i debated for a while about whether to touch or not. Finally decided it was ok to hold it but not to kiss it (like so many other people were doing). I'll save that for when there's a team on the cup worthy of kissin'.
johnyvegas Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Posted May 12, 2012 Find the Stars section and spit on it? Not sure why but the one name on the cup that i always think about that irks the crap out of me is Cory Sarich. Ugh..WHY!?!
