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.
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.
