Chris Bruton and the Memorial Cup

It looks like the base just gives way on the guy as he's trying to hand it off. I love the stunned 'oh fuck, what do we do' moment that follows. And trying to put the cup back on the top. I'm curious if the guy that comes over tells him that it's a replica trophy and not the real one. I would hope that he did, as I know if I was Chris Bruton, I would have been feeling just horrible.
