Isn't the Stanley Cup missing, with people on a grail quest to find it and everything, in the UF universe? So my memory tells me, any way. Anyway, it looks like Archer found it out there somewhere, because here he is holding it!Today I learned that after Luc Robitaille won the Stanley Cup in 2002 with the Red Wings, on his day with the Cup, he brought it to the set of Star Trek: Enterprise because he and Scott Bakula were old pals who played in a lot of hockey charity events when Luc played for the Kings several years prior. So it's the only sports trophy that's ever been on the bridge of a starship, and I guess, technically, that makes it sort of _almost_ cool, which as a rule sports trophies are not. I'm just sad Martok isn't there to quaff with it.

I think that was a side plot adapted from Babylon 5, the episode with the 'true seeker' that was after the Holy Grail. IIRC in UF the Grail has been swapped out in favor of the Cup (and I don't believe the seeker, one Aldous Gajic, has met with the same fate as his B5 counterpart.)

I believe that Astynax is correct in every particular. Pretty sure Aldous Gajic isn't a Jedi Master in B5, either. XDLord Stanley's Cup, by the way, is far more storied than any other sports trophy, as far as I know. Most sports give out a new trophy every year, but in the NHL, there is only one Stanley Cup. (Technically, there's a couple duplicates for security, I know.) There's a lot of history that goes with it as a result. ------ Authors of our fates Orchestrate our fall from grace Poorest players on the stage Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
