Stanley Cup

Mike Bolt holds arguably the most prestigious job in hockey, the Keeper of the Cup. The position comes with extreme responsibility but also unbelievable life experiences. What is it like to hang out with the Stanley Cup all day? You're about to find out.

The Winnipeg Jets welcome the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins to the MTS Centre on Tuesday, December 6.

This article provides the answers to the following question: which teams have won the most championships in NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL?

It took 39 years for the Bruins to become Boston's fourth championship team in the last decade. Yet they did so by overcoming last year's playoff collapse, three Game 7s this year, and two 2-0 deficits.

The NHL blueliner and coach known as "Big Bird" forged a Hall of Fame career with his checking, puck-handling and leadership, mostly because he knew when to speak up and when to let his play to the talking

The Canucks are halfway to their first Stanley Cup, and they may have the NHL to thank. Because Alex Burrows wasn't suspended for biting, he was allowed to get two goals- including a very quick overtime tally- to power a 3-2 comeback win.

The Bruins may be a legendary franchise, but it is not used to going far in the playoffs over the last few decades. Yet now that Boston is back in the finals for the first time in 21 years, it can finally go for its first Cup in 39 years.

After seven games in the Eastern Conference finals, the Bruins are finally on their way to the next round. Now they have to travel all the way to Vancouver to open the Stanley Cup finals, and face another team that's waited four decades for a Cup.

Each year the Stanley Cup goes on the road with players and management of the team that wins it. Where has the Stanley Cup been, and what has it done?

There is no trophy like it in any sport in the world.

In another overtime win, this one in Philadelphia, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 49 years.

The Blackhawks waited through 49 years, a few playoff collapses, decades of local blackouts, and much more to get to the Stanley Cup. But although the overall wait was 49 years, this current group of Blackhawks just needed three to change the culture.

After 49 years of waiting, it was natural that the Blackhawks couldn't win the Stanley Cup until an unlikely overtime period. Though the Flyers somehow forced an extra session, Patrick Kane somehow got a winning goal that no one seemed to see.

The most exciting, most dramatic Stanley Cup Finals series since the NHL expanded from the Original Six prior to the 1967-68 season.

The Blackhawks looked like a team on the ropes in Philadelphia, and in much of the series. But they provided the first decisive knockdown of the Stanley Cup finals June 6, as line changes took the Flyers and Chris Pronger out of Game 5.

Despite two one-goal games in Chicago, the Stanley Cup finals could have been sucked clear of drama on Wednesday. But the Flyers stayed alive for the moment, and can create some true drama by even-ing the series tonight in Philly.

The Stanley Cup finals have been close on the scoreboard of Games 1 and 2. But they are not close in the series score, as the Blackhawks are up 2-0 after a 2-1 win over the Flyers. Now the Flyers need home magic just to draw even.

The Blackhawks and Flyers each struggled in Game 1, yet Chicago escaped with a win anyway. If they do it again tonight, they can put an early stranglehold on the cup. But if the Flyers and their goalies rebound, it can still be a long series.

The Philadelphia Flyers were dead and buried against the Boston Bruins in their NHL quarterfinal, down 3-0 in their series and now they are in the Stanley Cup Finals.

A long season now draws to an end. Two teams are left standing to decide the winner. The question is who will be the winner?

Jarome Iginla is the face and heart of the Calgary Flames. He wants to stay in Calgary but, for the first time, is open to a possible trade. With the decline of the Flames, will Iggy remain part of the only organization he has ever played for in the NHL.

After winning the 2009 Stanley Cup for the Pittsburgh Penguins, just how many Stanley Cups could be in the future for stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin? The Edmonton Oilers may hold the answer.

Sidney Crosby's second period knee injury kept him from making a difference for the Penguins in Game 7- at least on the ice. But the Penguins stormed ahead and held on anyway, giving Crosby the chance to lift his first of possibly many Stanley Cups.

The Pittsburgh Penguins had long odds against them going to Game 7 in Detroit, but wound up doing to the Red Wings what they did to them last year- win the Stanley Cup on their home ice. Now the city of Pittsburgh has another victory parade to mount.
