Photos of the Day... A couple of days before the Los Angeles Kings are to raise their championship banner up at STAPLES Center and begin their lockout-shortened NHL season, the Stanley Cup finally made its way aboard the USS Iowa in San Pedro yesterday. Having been displayed with space shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center's Samuel Oschin Pavilion last November, the only other new museum piece that arrived in Los Angeles last year that hasn't yet been visited by the Cup is Levitated Mass at the L.A. County Museum of Art (LACMA). Not as cool as a retired, $2 billion-dollar spacecraft or a decommissioned battleship, but LACMA's boulder would also be an interesting exhibit to place the trophy next to [or underneath—just so the Kings Ice Crew (above) can get some shade from the Sun...before an earthquake strikes, that is]. Carry on.
