We’ve explained to you the craze over the pink Stanley cups everyone is lining up to buy at Target, but we mentioned in there that there’s a very large difference between the 40-ounce limited-edition Stanley cup and the much larger Stanley Cup that’s awarded to the NHL’s champion every year.
But of course when there’s something that shares a name even if it’s a cup versus a Cup, you know the jokes are going to be everywhere.
The theme here? Ragging on Canada and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The entire nation hasn’t had a Stanley Cup winner since 1993 (when the Montreal Canadiens won) and the Leafs haven’t hoisted one since 1967.
So … here you go. So many jokes:
Waiting outside for a few hours for a Stanley cup isn’t so bad…… the entire nation of Canada has been waiting for one since 1993. Folks https://t.co/oE2SM8x38G

So I did some digging and discovered the hysteria over these Stanley Cups at Target? All the people in the videos waiting outside at 3 a.m. are Canadians, their desperation to get one is because Canada hasn’t had a Stanley Cup since 1993

Still a shorter wait than getting a Stanley cup in Canada. https://t.co/ikWvqoBAEg

These are brutal…almost as brutal as Canada not winning a Stanley Cup in 31 years https://t.co/1lPfWaPI61

Sucks Canada doesn't have Targets, because this would be the only way for the Leafs to get a Stanley Cup. https://t.co/nDdDluHenq

Springtime hack for the Leafs. Who says you need to win four rounds to get a Stanley cup https://t.co/R4UymjzfTM
