stanley cup destroyed in cortland

this is a follow up to a previous blog i wrote about my friend creating a stanley cup replica out of hundreds of tins. this was a nice replica and my roommates and me were all excited because we had a bet where we each picked a team on the east coast and what ever team did the best at the end of the season, that person got to have the cup till the next season. I chose tampa bay lightning, because as said before i needed to choose a east coast team...im a calgary flames fan to be honest.. (easy on the comments about me being a fan of Calgary, im sure i've heard it already..) My roommate, and sports fanatic who is in this class, chad, has the islanders because hes a lifetime fan of them. My other roommate is a fan of the sabres and i forget now who the others have as their teams. So getting to the point here, when i left thursday lord stanley was doing great sitting in his spot in the corner of our living room lookin great. When i returned to my house sunday afternoon the base was still there that stanley sat on, but stanley was gone. i was absolutely shocked and couldnt believe that someone either had stolen stanley, or even worse it got destroyed. i knew most likely it got destroyed because we frequently are throwinig a football, baseball, tennisball, or some other object at each other in our living room...it can be a dangerous place. i asked my roommate mike who created it with hours of work, and he said he accidentally ran into it or something like that and destroyed it. so everyone can rest easy, we saved the tins and lord stanley will be re created once again this time stronger and tougher than ever.
