Lord Stanley?

Well, ladies and gentlemen; SO. Cal is thawing out this morning after bringing home THE best trophy in sports. The Ducks imposed their will on an Eastern team ala "The Great One". And a Canadian team to boot.

I know the NHL is playing on the Oxygen network, during paid programming, but it's still the best trophy! Name another sport where guys won't even touch it if they haven't won it (and they say baseball players a superstitious); where at the end of the finals, the men who fought like warriors shake hands. Then the guy with the C on his jersey raises "THE CUP", skates around the ice, kisses it, and each player hands it to another as they celebrate. And then the Cup makes it tour in the off season; each player and some of the staff get it for a period of time, to do with pretty much as they like.
So I ask you: what is the best trophy in sports?
