The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) attempts to solve the Stanley Cup Puck mystery
A mystery baffling among everyone since the last Stanley Cup Finals between Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers is where has the game winning puck gone?
Since the game winning goal by Patrick Kane at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, the puck has not been seen. The last time it was in the back of the net while Blackhawks was celebrating its win and Flyers going back into the locker rooms disappointed
by Game 6’s overtime.
Now the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been called in for their services in solving the mystery.
The Chicago FBI forensic experts are working to solve the mystery of what happened to that Stanley Cup winning puck of 2010. This step was taken after fans and officials failed to trace its whereabouts, to the extent that a local restaurant chain owner offered
$50,000 as a reward for the missing puck.
It is believed to have been picked up at the end of the game, as concentration on the puck was at its minimum at that time, and you can’t blame anyone for it since you could have either been wildly celebrating or been in deep sorrow over the loss.
The whereabouts of the puck would be on the bottom of the list of things in your head at that time.
Recently, a puck that was thought to be the “one” was proved to be not genuine by the FBI using special equipment to check its authenticity, and hopes of claiming the reward were lost by who it was associated to.
Technology so advanced has digitally enhanced images of the game winning puck and can compare it to any of the ones in question for authentication. Now no one can pick up a puck and try to get the $50,000 award offered for it.
"We feel we have enough in terms of visual evidence to include or exclude any future pucks", the Spokesman for the Chicago FBI, Ross Rice, said.
This might be viewed as something of little value to normal people, but the dedicated fans and NHL fanatics are giving their priceless time for the recovery of an item of NHL’s history.
Compare it to having lost the Stanley Cup when Lord Stanley first awarded it, there would probably be no Stanley Cup today.
Everything done in the present has its own effect on the future, and the value of something can’t be determined when it’s lost.
