digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The Stanley Cup is the only trophy in sport that carries the name of every member of the winning team, therefore it inevitably runs out of room. The barrel of the Cup consists of five rings, and the last available spot was claimed by the 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning.The 1941-1953 ring was removed in March 2007 to make way for a fresh band and new champions (Carolina Hurricanes). That means champions from 1929 to 1953 are no longer represented on the Cup itself.The next ring is due to be removed in 2017. It will include the winners from 1954 to 1965. Another ring will be removed in 2027 and this ring will contain the names of the 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs. This means that sometime around March 2027 the Toronto Maple Leafs will not appear on The Stanley Cup because everyone knows they won't win another by then.Celebrate 2027!

serge 904 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I will also wager the Leafs will win a Cup before Montreal. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 I knew you'd take the easier route and go with Serge's!I like your bet too but not with odds. They have 19 seasons to win one. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Anything up to $200 on both bets Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Anything up to $200 on both betsI'll definitely put down $200 on Montreal winning a Stanley Cup before the Maple Leafs. Book it! Link to post Share on other sites

They have 19 seasons to win one.Yeah, but you know they will suck for at least the next 5, you say they have no idea how to rebuild anyway, so it will take another 5 after that just to get new ownership in. So really, its only 10years where they have a shot! And there are 30 teams. figure 3-1? Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'll definitely put down $200 on Montreal winning a Stanley Cup before the Maple Leafs. Book it!This is really funny, because two of my closest friends placed a similar bet in 1987, $100, first team to win a Cup.Leafs vs Islanders.I dont even know if either of them remembers the bet anymore, 20yrs later!
