Mike Richards spent his day with the Stanley Cup in his hometown of Kenora, Ont., taking it on a little parade through the town before embarking on a fishing trip out on Lake of the Woods.

It appears Richards had more luck fishing with the Cup than he did fishing for goals during the Kings' most recent championship run. Richards finished the postseason with three goals in 26 games after scoring 11 times during the regular season - his lowest total since 2006-07.
Maybe that fish just wanted to get close to the Cup.
