Other sports give the trophy to the owner first, hockey goes straight to the players. Nothing is better!

Those other sports also make copies of their trophies for each player. There’s only one (well, actually 3) Cup

How soon before NHL presents it to the owner?

GOATed simply because you can’t drink out the Lombardi or Naismith trophies.

The NBA and MLB both had each forever awarded its ultimate trophy in the locker room. Copycats.
(On a side note, was pretty quick to notice the one and only Stanley Cup since 1993 not awarded by Bettman 😉)

Why the fuck would they give the trophy to the owner.
So weird

Respect to Stan Kroenke though that’s all three of his North American teams winning at virtually the same time

The World Series trophy is pretty cool but Lord Stanley is cooler

As a Gooner, none of them will compare to a Premier League or Champions League win for Arsenal.

The NFL could easily make the Lombardi Trophy bigger. I don’t understand why it doesn’t.

AND you can eat cereal out of it!

Definitely the most beautiful trophy, and also the one with the most history, and most interesting history!

Stanley cup has no big gaudy puck on top of it so HTF are idiots supposed to know what sport it’s for?

The only reason I can use to justify giving the trophy to the owner first is that other big three sports don’t really have a team captain like hockey does. I guess the NFL puts a C on a few jerseys, but it’s not like it’s a big deal or honor.
Like, who does Goodell hand the trophy to first? One of the five captains? The MVP?
Still, it’s stupid.

Love how much of Reddit is just bots recycling the same dumb bullshit now lol. Top comment too
A little fact about the Cup in case you didn’t know, the Cup can only hold 65 Stanley Cup winning teams on the 5 bands. Every 13 years they need to remove one band on the Cup for the new winning teams and the old band is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame.

I always thought the Lombardi trophy had a cool name (Lombardi is fun to say) but it looks so stupid and cheap. I don’t know what the NBA is.

NHL is my last favorite real sport b/c the Thrashers left Atlanta and soccer is basically hackysack. But I definitely agree the Stanley Cup is the best trophy
e: and basic bitches stole that IP of stanley cup and there’s nothing you can do about it. Brutal

I’ll never understand why the billionaire who does nothing except sit in a suite all game long gets the trophy before the players who busted their asses to get there. Hell, even the GM or coach is a better choice than the owner. At least they directly contributed to the on-field/ice/court product.

The reason why the players get it first is because they make no money! You have to give an incentive to the players who win the hardest championship through all sports, specially if your gonna pay them nickels. McKinnon on at 8 year, $100,800,000 hahahaha. Ohtani 10 year, 700 million, Jalen Brown 5 year, $304 million, Mahomes 10 year 450 million, Burrow 5 year 275 million
So simply the players should hold the trophy first due to the lack of salary they can get in the NHL

Super Bowl trophy is the worst in sports.

I hate this little brother complex that hockey and its fans have. Like whenever anything happens in another sport I see so many hockey fans injecting themselves into the conversation to talk about how hockey is better. Drives me nuts. Yelling at everyone about how their sport is worse is counterproductive.

Ya what’s with the owners in NFL and NBA getting the trophy first and not the players??? That’s stupid!
VanillaIce315
I agree Stanley Cup is the best trophy by far. But why is it that hockey fans always have this urge to prove being better? I don’t see fans of other major sports constantly needing to argue superiority. It’s pretty cringe, just like me using the word “cringe,” is in and of itself, cringe.
