Speeding through his neighborhood, having his bodygaurds rough people up, being selected as the most worst dressed man in the world, pissing in mop buckets and saying "-blam!- Bill Clinton".... and I still don't know or care who this twerp is.
It's comforting being old and out of the loop. But apparently, to many sincere hockey fans, the only people who are allowed to touch the Sacred Stanley are those who took part in their team's attainment of The Cup.
Maybe it's time for "the beibs" to request asylum in Ecuador too? Because hockey fans, while relentless, probably won't go there.

Growing up, I lived next to Mike Peluso, who won the cup with the New Jersey Devils. When he won, he brought it home to his moms house and the whole town turned up to see it. We were allowed to touch it. I also saw the cup another time while it was touring MN promoting the Wild as an expansion team. That time, it was in a glass case and fans could not touch it.
