  • Stanley Cup headed for repair shop after drop by Avalanche's Aube-Kubel

    It didn't take long for the Stanley Cup to suffer some damage following the 2021-22 season.

    Mere minutes after the Colorado Avalanche beat the Tampa Bay Lightning to claim the title on Sunday night, Avs forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel fell while skating with the Cup toward the traditional on-ice team photo.

    Aube-Kubel dropped the Cup -- and the result was predictable.

    “I don’t even know if they even had it five minutes and there’s a dent at the bottom already," Phil Pritchard, the Hockey Hall of Fame's keeper of the Cup, said in an NHL Twitter post.

    "Right in the middle of the team photo. It’s the third time the Avalanche have won it. I guess we have a little chat with them soon and go through the process of how we’re going to repair it and that. But the Stanley Cup tour will go on."

    Like all sports trophies, the Cup has taken its share of body blows over the years. But this one was unique.

    "I guess it’s a new record today, five minutes into the presentation it has happened. It’s the first time it’s ever happened on the ice," Pritchard said.
