Then how am I going to show the ring off to the casucks' fans? They've never seen a Stanley Cup Championship ring, even if it's a replica.

So are these replica ones on monday night made of metal? plastic? candy?

If I had to guess, which I am, I'm thinking recycled metal from sunken ships in China. Again, just a guess.

"Someone" in our household has already put in a request for the T&Co. ring for Father's Day.

This is the VIP Staff ring for guys like Mike Altieri and Luuuuc.
(Note that it has diamonds on the cup on the sterling silver ring)

This is the player ring, basically same as the VIP Staff except it is made from WHITE GOLD instead of sterling silver.

This curious item is Bailey's ring that I think he bought off a guy on Figueroa and 11th.

Depleted Uranium

Thanks RR.

How does the sizing work? One size fits all? Flexfit? Snapbacks?

Quick update: My wife got an email about suspiscious activity on our debit card. "Uh, honey, I bought the Tiffany Kings ring I was telling you about.". Click. LMAO. I better stop and get some flowers. On the other hand, she just spent $220 for a couple hours at a spa with her friends. The ring will last a HELL of a lot longer than that.

Plus, my kids love hockey. I think it will be a cool thing to pass on to them. I admit, it was pretty extravagent expense. But what the hell? I work my ass off all year long. I can splurge once in awhile.

GO KINGS!!!!!

sounds like every time i buy a new camera lens... i just say "it's for the baby!"

I keep wondering why they used enamel for the black of the logo and didn't spring for, like, onyx.

On a serious note,

By the look of the pics, my guess and more than likely it will be a inexpensive Nickel alloy. Which sucks becasue over 2/3rds of the population has a nickel allergy to some degree. Lots of belt buckles, costume jewlery, zippers are made out of it these days. Its pretty much a product of China.

Symptoms of Nickel Allergy

You’ll usually see symptoms 6 to 24 hours after you’re exposed. They include itching, redness, rash, dry patches, and swelling of the skin, sometimes followed by blisters. The blisters may break, leaving crusts and scales.

If left untreated, your skin may become dark, leathery, and cracked. Usually the rash is only on the part of your skin in direct contact with the nickel. In serious cases, the rash may spread. Sweating may make it worse.

Hopefully a good bud and STH of mine will grab one for me. If so, it will be somewhere far, far away my skin. I just look at Nickel and break out in dermititus.
