With the Stanley Cup playoffs beginning tonight, the NHL unveiled a 21-foot replica of the trophy in New York City's Times Square this afternoon. The structure also doubles as a water fountain for any brave soul who'd like to take a drink from it. In typical New York fashion, however, the replica Cup, which was visited by tons of kids today, sits right in front of a huge billboard for a bra company. As for the postseason, Bovada.lv has released some interesting prop bets.

Brian Anton, of Tremont, Ill., says, "Suggestion for Lovely Lady of the Day if you can figure out who it is: The girl in the new Gavin DeGraw video, Sweeter. I have looked for her name and cannot find it." Brian, you came to the right place. Here name is Genevieve Morton and she happens to be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. She also sent me a tweet over the weekend about Five Guys, so that automatically gets her LLOD honors.
