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

Completely embarrassing the other trophies go to the owners. They didn’t do shit, the players did

One of the few things the NHL gets right.

My classic argument:
How many beers/champagne/hot dogs can you chug out of the Lombardi?

Kroenke seems like a shit guy but good on him for winning three titles so close together like that. Almost four if Arsenal didn’t crap the bed.

“the most magnificent trophy in sports” (said during the Sakic Bourque cuo presentation) and the only one that carries the names of the players that won it.

I agree with the point about the owner getting the trophy first.
I understand it is their investment and whatnot but from an entertainment standpoint, watching a frail old white guy hoist a trophy every year is somewhat cringe.
Aside from that though, what bothers me most about these trophies is that aside from the Stanley Cup, the others have absolutely shitty full names. The Larry O’Brien trophy? The Vince Lombardi Trophy? Keep it short.
The NHL has the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The cup is promoted right off the bat. It is probably the only thing marketing wise that the NHL is superior at compared to the other leagues.

Kroenke should have learned a lesson from Sakic.
