June 18 (UPI) -- The back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers appear to have damaged one of the most iconic and hardest trophies to win in all of sports.
The Panthers won their second championship in two years on Tuesday, by downing the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.
As is tradition, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman awarded the Panthers, specifically their captain, Sasha Barkov, Lord Stanley's Cup during an on-ice ceremony after the game to be paraded around the ice surface by each player.
However, not long after winning the oldest trophy in professional sports at 133 years old it appears the Panthers have damaged the silver hardware.
