PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Stanley Cup usually goes through a lot of wear and tear and it appears this year is no different.

Pictures of the Stanley Cup returning home with the Pittsburgh Penguins are circulating on social media and they appear to show the bottom of the cup with a noticeable dent.

The keeper of the cup, Philip Pritchard posted these photos on Twitter, showing Matt Cullen carrying the Stanley Cup up the stairs as the Pens left San Jose.

Don’t fret though, the Stanley Cup goes through major trauma after every season and always seems to come back looking shiny and new.
