After 30 years in the NHL, Jacques Martin finally got to hoist the Stanley Cup on Sunday night as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins - and nearly dropped it on national television.
Thankfully, head coach Mike Sullivan was there to catch it.
Martin told Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun prior to Game 6 that he'd like to bring the Cup to his old neighborhood in St. Pascal, Ont., if given the chance.
