Congratulations to Selanne who finally got to hoist the Cup tonight. Selanne is on record as saying he has dreamed of wining the Stanley Cup since boyhood. When he has the Cup for a day in Finland, will it be a big deal there? Will there be an endless line-up of people waiting to see it, take pictures, etc.?

Simple answer: Yes.
Though it is of course not the first time the object has been here, since it was practically an annual event in the Kurri/Tikkanen/Ruotsalainen Edmonton Oilers era. But Selänne is a popular guy, and if he shows with the big ugly thing, he'll draw a crowd.

You just need to worry if he takes it in one of his large stable of sports cars - he has a habit of bumping into things.

Selänne and Anaheim win Stanley Cup
