Let’s be clear: the Stanley Cup hasn’t returned to Pittsburgh – because it never really left.

It's not unusual to see Sidney Crosby with the Stanley Cup, but it is unusual to see him just stroll into a grocery store or dry cleaners with it.
After making a couple of unexpected stops, Lord Stanley was the featured guest at a bash at Sidney Crosby’s Sewickley home.
"He says, 'Hey! You guys wanna see the Cup?'" Grant Kraus, manager of Safran's Supermarket said. Kraus said Crosby went to his car and came back into the Sewickley grocery store with the Stanley Cup in tow.
It didn't take long for word to spread about the unexpected guest and employees came up to take their picture with it.
The victory tour will continue Tuesday night when the Penguins bring the Stanley Cup to PNC Park before the Pirates game.
