Boston Bruins forward Michael Ryder brought the team's Stanley Cup to his hometown of Bonavista, Newfoundland in Canada yesterday. However, his triumphant return home hit a bit of a snag during a send-off party beforehand as the Stanley Cup ended up falling onto the floor when a table that the Cup was placed on collapsed.
Michael Ryder attended a send-off celebration in St. John's before he reached his hometown of Bonavista. He carried the Stanley Cup across the room and placed it on a table. However, just as Ryder was taking a second to catch his breath, the table he placed the Stanley Cup on promptly collapsed, leading many onlookers to call it the "first ding of the day".
Based on later reports, the rest of Ryder's visit to his hometown seemed to go very well.
