Outrageous Stanley Cup stories

The Stanley Cup is the oldest trophy up for grabs for professional athletes. Donated in 1892 by Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, the cup has undergone several alterations, with the modern design emerging in 1947.

As you can imagine, players can sometimes get creative when caught up in the exuberance of victory. Here now are the most interesting tales reported to have happened with Lord Stanley's famed trophy.
