Lego searches for missing Stanley Cup model
ENFIELD, Conn.—A replica of the Stanley Cup made from 6,000 Lego bricks is missing, and the toy company is offering a reward for its return.
The model apparently was stolen before the close of a sports equipment show in Las Vegas last week, officials at Lego's North American headquarters in Enfield said Monday.
It was one of two replica cups the Danish company built and was on display to promote a new line of Lego NHL hockey sets. The other model was a gift to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
The cup was supposed to be shown in Florida this week at the NHL's All-Star festivities.
"We're hoping to convince Commissioner Bettman to let us borrow his personal cup so that others may enjoy viewing it," said Andrew Black, president of Lego Americas.
The company is offering NHL tickets and assorted Lego products for the return of the model.
(Don't believe I'd derive much pleasure from viewing Commissioner Bettman's "personal cup." Ewwww.)

Recovered!!! Now I can sleep at night.
The company plans on rewarding Copp.
"We will be getting him tickets for a Phoenix Coyotes game..."
Could have been worse, could have been tickets to a Flames game..
