Pretty selfish to feel that Toews is supposed to bring the cup here. He can do whatever he damn well pleases with the thing. If he brings it here, great. If not, it doesn't matter. Its just a pile of metal.

It is more than a pile of metal, but I get what you mean. It is about what the cup symbolizes for those who've earned the right to have their name enscribed.

I've seen it and touched it. At the end of the day it's just a trophy. The experience of a game is worth far more in my opinion.

I guess all I'm saying is that its the most storied trophy in all of sports. That is nothing to sneeze at.

I've seen it (resisted touching it since I've never won it and don't have my name on it)...and I saw the 3,000 people who waited outside of the UW-Eau Claire hockey arena to see it too back in 2008. I beg to differ with your assessment.

It's not like I don't like the cup. The story is tremendous and it kicks the ass out of all the other trophies out there. For a player who pours his soul into being able to lift that trophy as a champion it would be amazing. As a fan who enjoys watching hockey the trophy is cool.

Who brought it to Eau-Claire?

@NHLFREEAGENTS: Former Winnipeg Jets (F) Jason Gregoire signed by Södertälje of Allsvenskan (Sweden2) #NHL

He IMO would have benefitted greatly from another year at UND before going pro.

That was the first thing that I thought of when I read that.

what could have been... if he and hextall both came back..

You only get 4 years of college...you get many more years (in most cases) to toils in the AHL or overseas.

Didn't see his name pop up much after UND. Hope it works out for him! He would have had a 50 point plus senior year. He seemed to get better each season in Grand Forks.
