But he was not a hockey guy. He was a businessman. The problem is that he didn’t hire the best hockey guys, and turn hockey operations over to them. Quote

It's the STAN-ley CUP There are many cups but only one Stanley Cup; especially in regards to all sports and even other hockey leagues Also there could also be some degree of front loaded emphasis due to the longer name Lord Stanley's Cup - in this form the emphasis is naturally placed on whose Cup versus Stanley's what?

I still emphasize Cup in lord stanley’s Cup No one says LORD stanley’s cup none of this obviously matters I just agree with PA There are lots of bays but people don’t usually say GREEN bay. They say green BAY. At least anecdotally from what I see on tv a game against TAMPA bay…a game against Tampa BAY. At least I personally say it with emphasis on the latter good discussion for a distraction Edited March 18 by Thorny Quote

Wasn’t it Harry Neale who once said that the closest to the Stanley Cup that a Canucks team was getting to was a sniff of Stan Smyl’s jock? Quote

The case has always been circumstantial. Got a conviction tho... Having Carol Jasen visit chambers didn't hurt. Edited March 19 by PASabreFan Quote
