The Stanley Cup is already damaged as Panthers go full throttle with boozy celebration
The Panthers might be having a little too much fun with the Stanley Cup. The bowl of the trophy is cracked and the bottom is dented – a result of the team's rambunctious celebrations after winning the title with a 5-1 triumph over the Oilers in Game 6 Tuesday. As is tradition for teams that win the Cup, the Panthers celebrated with the silver trophy Tuesday night and kept the party going from there, spending Wednesday morning at Fort Lauderdale beach bar Elbo Room. 3 The Panthers cracked the bowl of the Stanley Cup while celebrating their Game 6 win over the Oilers.

Not to worry, though, since the keepers of the Cup are taking the necessary steps to repair the trophy before the Panthers' parade on Sunday, a spokesperson for the Hockey Hall of Fame told ESPN. This isn't the first time the Cup has gotten banged up. 3 The Panthers celebrate with the Stanley Cup at Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale Wednesday. AP The base of the trophy was damaged as recently as 2022, when then-Avalanche forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel lost his balance while skating into Colorado's team photo with the Cup. Mark Messier damaged the trophy when he took it on a trip to the club after winning with the Oilers in 1987, requiring repair at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. 3 Panthers left-winger AJ Greeg raises the Stanley Cup after Florida defeated the Oilers 5-1 in Game 6.

There have been plenty of other trophies damaged in celebration outside of hockey, of course, Alabama football shattered the Coaches' Trophy, worth $30,000, after winning the BCS national title in 2012, and Wisconsin football broke the Duke's Mayo Bowl trophy, which included a football-shaped piece of crystal, after quarterback Graham Mertz dropped it in the locker room in 2020.

How close are Canada's NHL teams to breaking our Stanley Cup drought?
The 'Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup' donated by Lord Stanley of Preston was supposed to be awarded to the best Canadian hockey team when it was commissioned in 1892. As the Stanley Cup moved from an amateur challenge Cup to a professional annual trophy, 40 of the first 41 champions were Canadian, interrupted only by those pesky Seattle Metropolitans in 1917. Needless to say, Canadian hockey teams haven't had a run like that in a good long while. As the Edmonton Oilers flamed out for the second year in a row, losing again to the Florida Panthers, we're reminded — because we can't help ourselves — that a Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup in 32 years. You can blame the salary cap, or that Canadian taxes make it harder to attract talent. You can say the pressure too intense in Canadian markets. Blame the border if you want. Regardless, Canadian teams have come close since Montreal last won the Cup in 1993. Calgary in 2004, Edmonton again in 2006, Vancouver in 2011, and Montreal in 2021. Are Canadian teams in the NHL now just lovable losers, like Charlie Brown having the football pulled from him by Lucy every time? Or are Canadians eternal optimists when it comes to hockey? Here's a look at the seven Canadian teams, and their chances of bringing the Stanley Cup home anytime soon. They are presented in order from their last Stanley Cup. Stanley Cup titles: 24, last in 1993. A handful of players remain from their unexpected run to the Cup final in 2021 and a rebuilding process since then paid off with a surprising playoff appearance this season. GM Kent Hughes has so far had a patient approach the fan-base bought into, and has an array of young talent led by rookie of the year Lane Hutson. A return to their status of Les Glorieux seems only a season or two away. Stanley Cup prognosis: In the next five years. Stanley Cup titles: Five, last in 1991. When you have two of the best players on the planet, you always have a chance. Leon Draisaitl's league-leading $14 million (U.S.) a year deal kicks in July 1. But they only have Connor McDavid guaranteed for one more year. They've been to the final two years in a row. Having the second-best goaltender in a series is not a good idea. GM Stan Bowman has to be on the lookout for a goalie. He doesn't have a great deal of cap wiggle room, about $12 million, and his priority will have to be restricted free agent defenceman Evan Bouchard. Cup prognosis: 2026 or bust. Stanley Cup titles: One in 1989 The Flames seem caught in the murky middle. Good enough to almost make the playoffs, not bad enough to get franchise cornerstone draft picks. GM Craig Conroy has a building block in goalie Dustin Wolf. But there's not a lot of support for Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau. Conroy has more than $27 million in cap space this summer, but this team will be closer to a Stanley Cup contender by tanking the next couple of years. Cup prognosis: Get back to us in the 2030s. Stanley Cup titles: 13, last in 1967 With or without Mitch Marner, the Maple Leafs have an impressive array of talent, perhaps the highest level of talent in their post-Stanley Cup existence. That's a long time — 58 years, not that anybody's counting. Put them down for at least 100 points next season, maybe even the President's Trophy. The playoffs, though? That's quite another story. We've all seen it. Their lack of success is its own tragicomedy. This core group should have played for a Cup by now. What's the definition of insanity? Cup prognosis: There's always next year. Stanley Cup titles: Four, last in 1927 (a very different franchise with the same name) It took this core of young players longer than expected to make the playoffs. But the only thing more true than the Leafs bowing out early is the Leafs beating Ottawa in the post-season. The Brady Tkachuk-led team seems ready to make the leap. Jake Sanderson is the real deal on defence. Linus Ullmark is a quality goalie. Travis Green is a quality coach. And the ownership group led by Michael Andlauer seems ready to spend to contend. Cup prognosis: Coming soon to the nation's capital. Stanley Cup titles: 0, last appeared in final in 2011 They are a melodrama all unto themselves, and comic relief to the fan bases of the other Canadian teams. How they ruined what they had as recently as two years ago seems improbable. Once, the question was how far could elite defenceman Quinn Hughes and top forward Elias Pettersson take them? Now the questions are what happened to Pettersson, and will Hughes stay or try — as president Jim Rutherford mused publicly — to join his brothers Jack and Luke in New Jersey? Cup prognosis: Perhaps more cursed than the Maple Leafs. Stanley Cup titles: 0, never appeared in final. Can you imagine having a team this good and failing to make it to the Cup final? I guess you can if you follow the Leafs closely. That's life in Winnipeg, too. Great regular seasons. Early playoff exits. The thing that's hard to wrap your head around is Connor Hellebuyck. He won the Vezina this season as the league's top goalie. He always has good regular seasons, but he's a shadow of himself in the playoffs. A team that believes it has trouble attracting talent managed to get its top stars — Hellebuyck included — to commit. Now it's easy to wonder if the Jets committed to the wrong group. Cup prognosis: Perennial also-rans.

Thunder one win from title, expect ‘best punch' from Pacers in Game 6
One win away from the first NBA title in franchise history, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault believes preparation for Game 6 of the Finals on Thursday night at Indianapolis boils down to how the other sneaker fits. 'We're always trying to put ourselves in our opponent's shoes,' Daigneault said of Oklahoma City's focus with a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series ahead of the first elimination game of the NBA Finals. 'Zero and zero mindset. We're not introducing any new concepts right now, we're just relying on the psychological habits we've built over time.' Perspective might be more challenging for Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle as his squad faces the task of attempting to win two consecutive games against the Thunder with All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton at less than full strength. Carlise said Wednesday it will be late afternoon or early evening Thursday before the Pacers have a realistic feel for what Haliburton can contribute as Indiana attempts to send the series back to Oklahoma City for Game 7 on Sunday night. He participated in walkthrough Wednesday, but the 30-minute session involved no 'real running' by Carlisle's assessment. 'I think it depends on who you ask. I have to understand the risks, ask the right questions,' Haliburton said of how he'll decide to play. 'But I'm a competitor. I want to play. I'm going to do everything in my power to play.' Haliburton scored 22 points and was one rebound shy of a triple-double in Indiana's Game 3 victory on June 11. Since that win, a calf strain has hampered his performance, which followed a tweaked ankle in Game 2. As Oklahoma City turned a 2-1 series deficit to a 3-2 advantage, Haliburton has struggled from the field, hitting just 7 of 21 shots from the field over the past two games, including a 1-for-11 clip from 3-point range. He has totaled just 22 points in 70 minutes. 'You don't underestimate great players. In the case that he plays, we're expecting his best punch,' Daigneault said. 'You don't underestimate great teams. In the event he doesn't play, we're expecting Indiana's best.' Heroes of the series emerged from almost every segment of the rotation. Haliburton's near-triple-double in Game 3 was underscored by Indiana's 49 bench points, 27 from Bennedict Mathurin and five steals from T.J. McConnell. Andrew Nembhard shifted to point guard in Haliburton's place in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, when the Pacers overcame a 3-2 series deficit to beat the Knicks in Games 6 and 7. 'I think obviously Tyrese is a big part of what we do. Whether he plays or not, I think it's going to be a team thing,' Pacers forward Pascal Siakam said. 'We have to together all step up. The importance of the game, we just all have to take a step forward. It's going to be down the line. 'I don't think any one of us should feel like one person is going to have to do it. It's going to be collective.' Siakam put up 28 points and stepped up in the fourth quarter of Game 5 without Haliburton. More of the same is in order if the Pacers wish to keep up with OKC's 1-2 punch. Thunder MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a combined 66 points in Games 4 and 5. But the national spotlight has been shared with Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams, who tallied 67 points over the same span, including a 40-point outburst in Game 5 with the Pacers setting a defense determined to help and force the ball out of SGA's hands. 'It makes me sound like a jerk,' Williams said of not answering his phone the past week to keep the focus on winning a title. 'A big thing for us -- we've done a really good job of focusing on us.' Gilgeous-Alexander said being 'on the cusp of winning is not winning, and the way I see it, winning is all that matters.' He credited the organization for building the culture and environment to make the Thunder a marvel of a turnaround story. He said he's buoyed at this point in the season by the closeness of the locker room and how much fun the entire team is having. 'Focusing on Game 6,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'Focusing on just being the best version of myself for this basketball team for whatever it takes -- however many games it is, however many possessions are needed, however many moments. Stay in the moment, and just try to stick to that script.' Oklahoma City led 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals and lost Game 6 to Denver before a dramatic effort to take Game 7. Williams said Oklahoma City didn't 'come out ready to play' in that Game 6. Carlisle said the Pacers are leaning on the experience of trailing the Knicks 3-2 last summer, when Gainbridge Fieldhouse turned into an energy-feeding advantage for Game 6. 'Buckle down, stand strong,' Carlisle said of his message to the team. But with SGA and Williams both averaging over 30 points per game the last three games, Oklahoma City expects nothing less than greatness on Thursday. 'Most of the great players are art. They're unbelievably unique,' Daigneault said. 'That's every great player. Siakam is like that. Haliburton is like that. They're one of one. All the great players are. ... They're great players, but they do it inside the team (concept) and don't suffocate the team.' Daigneault isn't yet talking specifically about the spoils at stake Thursday night. 'We've tried to take a stack mindset to everything we've done. Even when the team was rebuilding. You can't skip steps in the process,' Daigneault said. 'We want to win the game tomorrow. 'But the most important thing we can do is prepare today, prepare tomorrow. Play the first possession really well. And then the next possession. Win today. The minute you start to drift mentally into the future and into the past, it impacts your ability to stack the next thing.' Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved
