Question about the Cup. Let's say there was no lockout. Does the organization have it displayed in their office for the entire regular season? Or does it go back in the hands of the NHL after the players' "Day with the Cup" is over?

Outside of the summer with the players, the cup travels a ton during the regular season for all sorts of occasions that have nothing to do with the Stanley Cup champs. I doubt that will change much at all.
Cool many different ways....I wonder what that stuff Jim shows Bob after each goal...most the hand gestures are easy to pick up on.
It looks like Jim has a card with facts/stats on each player in front of him. When the goal is scored he holds up the card for the player who scored I think. Bob can look at the card and knows it's the player's X goal, in X games or other stuff by glancing at the card. I've seen similar systems used in NCAA and USHL games before for radio broadcasts.

That's exactly what it is. There's a video by Kings Vision of how Bob prepares for a game and he's got a card with facts for every player on both teams. It's an interesting watch.
Looks like the person doing the engraving has shaky hands. Interesting how some players have their full names spelled out (Matthew Greene and Robert Scuderi) but they stuck with Slava instead of Vyacheslav for Voynov.
It is all done by hand, obviously, and isn't mean to look perfect. Looks good. It is interesting that they shortened Voynov's name, especially given that there looks to be extra room down there, but I would think that they would have consulted and asked him how he would prefer his name to be presented, as well as others. It kind of sucks to see that extra spot down there given that Loktionov couldn't get his name on it, and it would surely fit at the end there.

They found space for Ed Roski, and it sure does look like there was room for a 54th name
Just throwing this out there but has it run across anyone elses mind that maybe Loki didnt want his name on it for some reason? Hockey players are a odd lot like that. Just say'n.

I doubt it, he doesnt come across as an odd ball like Bryz or Tim Thomas. Its more to do about cup protocols and who qualifies.
This is a photo of a half a dozen of the Kings celebrating football (with Jeff Carter's girlfriend in white, they just moved into a place in Manhattan Beach) at the USC game this weekend.
Pretty interesting...I love the part at around 2:10 where Jim is getting pumped up and Bob cool as a cucumber...but then, at 2:45 and 3:15 or thereabouts Jim is clapping and standing and Bob looks ready to have a coronary... the two guys are very different for the big game!
