I think it's a good way to really put our stamp on the rivalry.

My pen is going to mark this trophy down as a little bit below the belt. Seems a little cocked up to me. Kind of like we're blowing it.
February 2nd, 2016 at 3:38 PM ^
better than the original pictures we saw. Pretty cool idea and brings the rivalry to the state, rather than just on the two campuses.

Holy shit can't believe I'm saying this but that's not nearly as bad as I expected (still stupid that it's not organic but I don't mind the look)
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:35 PM ^
I'm usually the one taking that stance. In this case, I think it is even worse than I'd expect. That skyline is awful. The glowing red puck reminds me of that stupid FoxTRAX thing. In general, it looks like a B- level trophy. B- is okay for a high school sport, but not for a major NCAA trophy.
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:40 PM ^
Agreed, it's awful. It looks like something a 9th grader made in shop class. AFTER getting totally "blown out" at lunch in the parking lot...

i can't wait until they erect the new Wings Arena so we can play for it there.

The plan is to build a hotel right next to Harry's. Here's the official development map.

I'm not sure if you can take out the D or if this was before they put it together.

How the hell is Glendening barefoot there?

Is that Glendening walking barefoot on the ice.

That's not a sieve, that's a funnel!
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:35 PM ^
That's not a funnel, it' a vacuum!

No doubt the contribution from East Lansing.
It's like someone went to a high school shop class and put together a bunch of the scrap pieces.

That's kind of where my mind went - it has a distinct automotive feel, which certainly fits the Detroit part of it. Still, it might be the only trophy stamped with a part number and orderable in several OEM parts catalogs. My guess was it is part of the piston assembly for a large engine, and the hockey sticks are for the camshaft attachments.

The one with the anvil and 2 hammers was better.
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:34 PM ^
Could have been much worse.
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:36 PM ^
What's the significance of the plungers?
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:37 PM ^
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:38 PM ^
Who cares? Us apparently b/c we have to house it most of the time. Wasn't this rivalry almost 50/50 until the last 5 years or so? I prefer it like it is now.

I thought the trophy was literally the anvil with two detached hammers. I guess that was just for the preview photos.
It's a bit busy with the bowl, puck, and sticks, but better than an actual anvil, I guess. Just the 'D' popped on the base would have been cleaner, but in the end I don't really care.
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
That thing weighs 50 pounds.

This is a total piece of crap!
It's a crudely cobbled-together-designed by committee hunk of garbage.
This reminds me of the cut-out welded-on garbage from that Orange County Chopper show.
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:54 PM ^
Couldn't someone just leave a water jug behind or something rather than commissioning that piece of garbage?
February 2nd, 2016 at 2:55 PM ^
Still seems silly to play for a trophy in the single game of a series. If they played a best-of-three series in the middle of the season instead, maybe I could go for that.

Michigan-MSU is one of the biggest rivalries in college hockey and the teams are each other's chief rival. This is like someone trying to give the Michigan-OSU game some trophy called The Big Horseshoe.

Should have known that there was no need to get testy.

Like pretty much all new trophies, it tries too hard. If it had literally been an iron D - nothing else, just a hunk of iron welded into a D - it'd have been far cooler.
