INDIANAPOLIS -- Before waving the green flag for the biggest race in the world, Boston sports fan Matt Damon received an introduction to a hallowed trophy from another pro sport.
The actor enjoyed a visit with the Stanley Cup, which his Bruins will be vying to capture when they battle the St. Louis Blues at 8 p.m. Monday night in Game 1 of the NHL’s Stanley Cup Finals.
“Am I allowed to touch it? Wow,” Damon said.
He then briefly tried to lift it before a quick admonishment that “You can only do it when you win.”
“Oh, that’s fair,” Damon said, adding. “Let’s go Bruins! Come on!”
