Stanley Cup engraving

• Murray Wilson's name was misspelled in 1973, 1976, 1977 as MURRY WILSON missing an "A". Murray Wilson was spelled correctly on the Stanley Cup in 1978. Wilson's name was also spelled correctly all 4 times on the Replica Cup.
• Assistant General Managers Ron Caron and Floyd Curry were not included on the Stanley Cup, but qualified to be on it.
• On the Replica Stanley Cup created in 1992–93 Bob Murdoch's name was spelled BOB MURDOCK with a "K" instead of a "H". His name was correct on the original engraving in 1973.
• #30 Wayne Thomas (G) and #3 Dale Hodgson (D) were included in the team picture, but did not play enough games to get their name on the Stanley Cup.
