We all remember Iginla skated off with the Campbell Bowl while Andreychuk just posed and didn't touch...
I recall captain posing with Daley (or whoever) and not touching is most common, but does anyone have a list of unique things that have happened when these trophies are presented? Surely some others have touched the trophy and gone on to lose...have any touched and gone on to win?

Didn't Sid touch it the year they won? Maybe the captain of the Canes did it the year they won?
I know someone has done it recently and won the cup.
It's a silly superstition in my opinion. And actually Iggy was known to try and break superstitions on the Flames, Conroy has mentioned this several times.
On the other hand, if it puts that tiny smidgen of doubt in any of your teammates, and hockey players are often very superstitious, maybe it's just better not to touch it.
