From the Avalanche to the Ottawa Senators, here’s a look back at NHL team Stanley Cup celebrations that spiraled into chaos, resulting in a dented or damaged trophy.
The Toronto Maple Leafs took the Cup to an after party to celebrate their victory only to damage it badly in a bonfire. The team had to take care of the hefty repair bill. After the Edmonton Oilers won their third title in four years, Mark Messier celebrated by bringing the Cup to his favorite bar in the area, where it was dented after allowing various fans to drink from it. Messier had to get the Cup repaired before returning it to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
That's what Clark Gillies was thinking, as he filled the Cup with dog food and let his dog eat out of it. Canines have to have some fun too, right?The New York Islanders took advantage of winning four straight Cups in the 1980s. Clark Gillies celebrated the milestone with his pup, filling the Cup with dog food and letting it go to town. Barry Trottier later confessed to sleeping with the Cup, which other players reportedly have done.
