$50K Bounty Put on Missing Stanley Cup-Clinching Puck
The Chicago Blackhawks, apparently with money woes due to their troubling cap situation, challenged Grant DePorter, president of Harry Caray's Restaurant Group, to find the the puck that Patrick Kane put into the net in overtime of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to clinch the championship, The Chicago Tribune reports.
"Harry Caray's restaurants is putting out a $50,000 offer to buy that puck -- as long as it can be authenticated as to being the actual puck," DePorter told The Tribune.
DePorter has experience with this kind of thing. He paid $113,824.16 for the so-called Bartman Ball, which he proceeded to explode on TV.
The Philadelphia Daily News reports that a Flyers spokesman said the team doesn't know what happened to the puck after the team was sunk at the Wachovia Center and added that the Flyers players "wouldn't want it."
The would mean Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, who drew the ire of the Blackhawks for lifting the puck after Game 2 of the final, is off the hook.
