Was That the Stanley Cup at a Coney Island?

If you were in the Greek Islands Coney Island restaurant on Tuesday morning and thought you saw the Stanley Cup, your eyes weren't deceiving you.Stanley_coney

Tradition has it that National Hockey League players whose teams win the Stanley Cup get to spend a day taking the trophy to wherever hey want.

Tuesday was the day for Detroit Red Wing comeback Darren McCarty.

McCarty, his mom, his ex-wife, their kids and Stanley started the day with breakfast at the Greek Island. From there it was off to a barber shop, an ice cream store -- where they used the cup as a giant, shiny sundae bowl -- and other businesses in Birmingham, Mich.

Read about Stanley's trip -- and McCarty's road back, on the Hockey Hall of Fame Web site.
