Should we understand this?

Jilted fans are like women. They never forget anything, even an intonation.

So, yes.

Remember the old schoolyard taunt. If you can't say it you can't do it?

I still got nothin’. Sorry.

You didn’t really clear anything up for me.

Terry pronounced Stanley Cup in a way I had never heard. It made him sound like not a hockey guy.

But he was not a hockey guy.  He was a businessman.  The problem is that he didn’t hire the best hockey guys, and turn hockey operations over to them.

Depends on if I want to sound like an old Canadian broadcaster or how I want to put the inflexion on it.

It’s

the stanley CUP

There’s only one Cup in hockey worth winning so emphasis on Stanley just seems wrong

Well Id say it with emphasis on both.

It's the STAN-ley CUP

There are many cups but only one Stanley Cup; especially in regards to all sports and even other hockey leagues

 

Also there could also be some degree of front loaded emphasis due to the longer name

Lord Stanley's Cup - in this form the emphasis is naturally placed on whose Cup versus Stanley's what?

I still emphasize Cup in lord stanley’s Cup

No one says LORD stanley’s cup

none of this obviously matters I just agree with PA

There are lots of bays but people don’t usually say GREEN bay. They say green BAY. At least anecdotally from what I see on tv 

a game against TAMPA bay…a game against Tampa BAY. At least I personally say it with emphasis on the latter

good discussion for a distraction

Wasn’t it Harry Neale who once said that the closest to the Stanley Cup that a Canucks team was getting to was a sniff of Stan Smyl’s jock?

He also couldn't pick Bert out of a front row lineup and didn't know the Sabres were for sale after the Rigas Debacle.

The case has always been circumstantial. Got a conviction tho... Having Carol Jasen visit chambers didn't hurt.
