Wild stories behind the Stanley Cup
The Stanley Cup is what every hockey player wants to touch, but only one man can do it until the Finals are over. That man stopped by to share some wild stories about the Stanley Cup.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Reggie Aqui's "I Know Sports" segment got upstaged by a giant piece of silver. Well, he thought it was a giant piece of silver, everyone else knows it as the Stanley Cup.

Hockey's most coveted prize stopped by Midday Live, and the man responsible for watching it shared some of the wild stories about the Cup.

A player's daughter once used it, accidentally, as a potty-training device. Someone else has eaten out of it. Watch the video above to hear more of the celebrations and lengths players have gone after winning the Stanley Cup.

The San Jose Sharks are hoping to add to the Cup's legacy as they start the West Conference Finals against the St. Louis Blues.
