Best thread ever!
The names actually aren't stamped onto the Cup until mid-September.

how did you guys find out the Cup was going to be at TSC? I live about 5 minutes away from there and I didn't find out the Cup was there until it was too late.
"Hockey won't hold still to give you a better look. You wouldn't want it to anyway. It's the action that makes the possibilities endless."
My brother told me right at around 1 oclock... really random. He knows somebody who works for the team, must have heard it through him? Doesn't seem like there was a formal announcement anywhere. I almost didn't believe him and figured it was some kind of misunderstanding, but saw a few people on Twitter saying they were standing in line and sure enough there was a super long line outside of TSC.
Not to downplay it at all, (it is always an amazing experience to see the Cup, and I'm so happy I finally got to touch it!), but it was VERY rushed. Get in, take a picture, get out. ONE picture per group. This was good to get more people in and out obviously, but you kind of want to spend a bit more than 30 seconds in the room! I'm sure we'll all get plenty of opportunities to see it and maybe even have a minute or two to enjoy it.
