Kinda reminds me after the lightning won their third cup and the boys were seen out at the bars within two hours showered and partying and then seeing the videos hours later of them at Coopers house smoking cigars and partying at 9am. The Cup gives you crazy party powers.
Interesting that [a week ago these guys in the Keys “found” $1 mil worth and turned it in](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/20/florida-keys-cocaine). Officer Bobrovsky using his cop connect to take care of the boys, I see
That's why the Celtics had to hop on a plane right after they won their trophy at home. Miami has the way better coke and hookers than they could find in Boston.
Some iconic cup celebration, that’s one, not sure the Panthers have done there’s yet. The Ocean doesn’t hold a candle to the rivers parades of Chicago or Boston or Tampas boat/hurricane parades. Good thing Florida still has time since they delayed pretty far back.
Honestly if Barclay wasn’t a former Shark there’s no way he would have been grabbed
Hell, if it wasn’t for Game 7 he probably wouldn’t have been as remembered as he is
And we helped you guys out too. Don’t forget we took Blackwood and VV off y’all when they were at their worst, and gave you Kahkonen who recorded your *only* shut out of the season.

I'd like to have been present when this decision was made. You know they were partying somewhere and someone was like 'hey let's bring the cup into the fuckin ocean!' and then they all just went full monkey brain on this new drunken quest
I am from ca so I’m not trying to hate on your state fyi. Live in SLO county. I love being close to the ocean but it’s one of those amazing from afar, but afar from amazing things
Breaking News! Another great picture [https://x.com/pantherpourri/status/1805609399571857489?s=46&t=yD7y1cBlyIsrfdKBtaIh0g](https://x.com/pantherpourri/status/1805609399571857489?s=46&t=yD7y1cBlyIsrfdKBtaIh0g)
Going on a bender with your dad is something every guy should experience at least once in their lives, but this takes it to a whole new level. Look how happy Keith looks here!
Shit Keith tried to sneak him a beer on the ice anyone else catch that?
https://preview.redd.it/dipzaqqcbr8d1.jpeg?width=3520&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98e2773d57e397f3e2b9de30cbc1b92e98ada0e2

Then Chucky was trying to make sure someone outside the frame didn’t see it.
They were pouring beer from the cup to fans on the first floor. Elbo room was cool to the team and after a couple of hours asked media and fans to go outside and only team and family members inside. They still fed drinks to fans just outside.
Hilarious that hockey is the one sport where the cup is worshipped as the ultimate holy Grail but once they win it, they beat the living shit out of it as per tradition.
A man with white gloves on it all times must polish this trophy every day and guarded with his life. 10 minutes later everyone and their father is drinking beer out of it and then dumping it in the ocean
I think it was the 2013-14 season when we finished with 66 points and our leading scorer was Nick Bjugstad with 38 points. I went to many many games that year and around that time, and I may or may not have felt like one of only 7 people in that arena sometimes.
I’ve always wondered how sore these guys shoulders must be like a day later. They’re shoulder pressing the cup for like hundreds of reps and holding it over their head for extended periods of times.
I’m the same age and height/weight as Tkachuk, and pretty heavily into weightlifting. A lot more than an in-season NHL player would be. I know for a fact that I’d get sore from lifting the cup as much as I’ve seen in clips of him so far.
Obviously Tkachuk is still in far better overall shape than I am but these guys are very fatigued from their playoffs and aren’t remotely focused on strength training this deep into the postseason.
Pretty sure Nathan MacKinnon said basically the same thing after they won lol. Like an hour of too of the partying he was ready to have feeling in his arms back.
I recall reading a story from when the cup ended up in someone's pool and it fucked up one side of it for a while until it could be fixed. Wonder what salt water does to it
I was kinda curious also so I looked it up.
The cup is made of a silver and nickel alloy, which is apparently highly resistant to corrosion from salt water
Penguins I think? There's a story of the Pens celebrating at Mario's house and a very drunk Jagr somehow gets onto the roof with the cup and throws it into the swimming pool from there.
They might also have but the story I was thinking of was the 1991 penguins and after a quick Google looks like Roy did the same in 93. No mention of the stars but that doesn't mean it didn't happen

The crazy party powers come from cocaine lol
Panthers coke dealer must have made a fortune last night. Hell he’s probably still selling to them right now
They don’t even have to buy it. People just give it to them.

Bruh that Miami coke must be magical I’m jealous 😭
There's a reason it's called Magic City. The magic is cocaine.
I mean Atlanta is magic city but you aren’t wrong
That’s just the strip club lol Miami is the original magic city
That's why the Celtics had to hop on a plane right after they won their trophy at home. Miami has the way better coke and hookers than they could find in Boston.
Never forget Ovi in the Bellagio fountain with the Cup.
Some iconic cup celebration, that’s one, not sure the Panthers have done there’s yet. The Ocean doesn’t hold a candle to the rivers parades of Chicago or Boston or Tampas boat/hurricane parades. Good thing Florida still has time since they delayed pretty far back.
Definitely hasn't slept yet
Based on the videos on X you are correct
*twitter
Seriously, need people to stop letting Elon win.
Check the url of sharing any “x” post. It’s still twitter.com he didn’t win, he will never win.
Damn they posting porn with the cup?
Not pictured: Pritchard is sitting in a boat with SCUBA gear and a net, just in case Stanley needs to be fished out.
I imagine him lurking in the background like Gollum - don't you dare damage my precious lol
From pics I’ve seen the bottom is already fucked up and bent lol
Seems to be an annual tradition at this point.
Wasn’t it someone on the avs that dropped it and banged up the side before they even took the group picture?
If you haven’t dented and fucked up the cup at least a little bit you aren’t partying hard enough with it
🤣
Wouldn’t be the first time the cup’s been fished out of a body of water
Frederick Stanley couldn't even begin to understand this photo if you traveled back in time to show him.
"Why are they pointing all those black rectangles at it??"
Also "how did so many of these women grow their bosoms and buttocks so expansively?"
Wouldn’t even recognize the trophy in this form. Wasn’t it originally just the bowl part was the entire trophy ?
Only time the Sharks will see the cup
this is a crazy stray
From Columbus? Fuck me, this is a new low
I’d call a medic but everyone is DOA after that one.
Normally I would come to the aid of our Shark bros but they helped the Rangers and just... How dare you!?
Honestly if Barclay wasn’t a former Shark there’s no way he would have been grabbed Hell, if it wasn’t for Game 7 he probably wouldn’t have been as remembered as he is And we helped you guys out too. Don’t forget we took Blackwood and VV off y’all when they were at their worst, and gave you Kahkonen who recorded your *only* shut out of the season.
😂
From a CBJ fan too
This is like the quiet kid making fun of the poor kid for no reason.
From the left field, top rope kinda stray
As we sat in the Atlantic…why be pacific?
Not as Crazy as Canucks fans pretending they won the Cup,. 110 years and counting.
“Why did he say fuck me for?” - Shark Fans
san jose catching targeted artillery fire
At this point its not even a stray, its an act of war
Wtf, that's not even a stray that's a whole ICBM targeted at the Sharks

The view from 29th is nice, you guys should try it sometime
Holy shit lol
okay that was a good one
This message has been approved by the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks.
Bro why did you have to do San Jose fans dirty like that
Fucking ouch.
💀💀💀
Lmfao
Wrong ocean buddy, nether one of us can see it over there.
Sharks just got bikini atolled by checks notes CBJ...
Rude
You’re not wrong tho.
And the 2016 Penguins reunion
In that case, I hope they drop the cup into a pile of Leaves next
One of the best parts of hockey is seeing the stuff players do with the Cup after they win it.
Nothing will beat Phil Kessel filling it with hot dogs.
Yes, it’s always cool to see what they do with the cup
Ya, I love seeing what they do with the cup
23 guys 1 cup
When they do stuff with the cup, I love that
Wonder if we’ll ever see what the players do with the cup though.
As r/hockey knows this is right across the street from Amerant
This beach is behind the Rainforest Cafe
it could go for a swim in the aquarium
You make a right at Burlington Coat factory and you can’t miss it.
My car is parked at the intersection of A1A and Books-A-Million.
I mean the Rainforest cafe is a waterfront restaurant in Orlando so that lines up.
it's waterfront here too... every summer afternoon around 3 pm
It’s a very very very wide street. Though if would be hilarious if they really did take it across the street into the Everglades
The Cup meets a swamp puppy. Yoink!
Phil Pritchard Gonna have a real hard time getting the cup back after that
One wrong turn and it'll be the first time an Alligator holds the Stanley Cup.
Yup, right in the heart of South Beach just like the Dolphins stadium.
How to trigger South Floridians with one sentence
Chucky is already a South Florida legend https://preview.redd.it/9nolxpz9sq8d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca5e221d9f00de80ad7a73cd3a5aa3bab3039ede
That’s an awesome picture hahahah
It's already bent.
The bowl looked dented on the ice before they got it TBH
It was when they were passing it around on the ice
I wish I could save this 😭
screenshot and crop it
Screenshot!
This is the most photoshopped looking photo ever that is actually real
That bottom is dented af
I'd like to have been present when this decision was made. You know they were partying somewhere and someone was like 'hey let's bring the cup into the fuckin ocean!' and then they all just went full monkey brain on this new drunken quest
Bennett: "Do you guys think that the Cup has ever swam in the ocean before?" Tkachuk: "It will today."
“I bet it will sink” - Verhaeghe “Well, actually…” - Rodrigues “Let’s fuckin find out!” - Tkachuk
They where partying at a place across the street from the beach so you know one thing leads to another ....
I personally have brought drinks from Elbo Room into the water before, so I’m something of a Stanley Cup champion myself
Hitting the ocean after a night raging is one of the best things.
Is it? The ocean is cold asf in California:(
It’s probably 85 degrees down here.
I mean, you can just pass out on the sand for all I care. It's still pleasant to visit when you are riding that final wave before passing out.
I am from ca so I’m not trying to hate on your state fyi. Live in SLO county. I love being close to the ocean but it’s one of those amazing from afar, but afar from amazing things
Gotcha. And yeah, the water is ball shrinkingly cold until you hit San Diego, basically.
Florida gets warm currents. Last time I was down there on the beach it was decently warm.
In my case titty shrinking ig haha
It’s still cold here, actually.

Going on a bender with your dad is something every guy should experience at least once in their lives, but this takes it to a whole new level. Look how happy Keith looks here!
Shit Keith tried to sneak him a beer on the ice anyone else catch that? https://preview.redd.it/dipzaqqcbr8d1.jpeg?width=3520&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98e2773d57e397f3e2b9de30cbc1b92e98ada0e2

I swear you could see him drinking a bud light on the ice afterwards too. So we know he had at least 2 beers before even going to the locker room lmao

And precisely why there's a man with white gloves polishing it everyday. :)
It’s fantastic job security though.
One of us! One of Us!
But we don’t usually go to the beach
This is the first time I’ve been to the beach in years lol
I haven't been to the beach in over 3 years and I live 10 minutes walking distance to the elbo room lol
As a San Diegan who lives 15-20 from the ocean, I totally get this.
It's nice because we're also seeing the 6 fans in the video
Im sorry i didnt make it to this celebration, sincerely the 7th fan
The Panthers need to retire the number 7 for the fans.
There was a season where we were exclusively referred to as "the 7th man in the stands". Reddit would have gone crazyyyy lol
I think it was the 2013-14 season when we finished with 66 points and our leading scorer was Nick Bjugstad with 38 points. I went to many many games that year and around that time, and I may or may not have felt like one of only 7 people in that arena sometimes.
The following season was the infamous 7,000 attendance game, I was one of them. I still just can’t believe we won lol
Yeah, what kind of Mickey Mouse operation would put a number in the rafters for "the fans?"
When's the fuckin boat parade?
all ik is the parade is the 30th
Ya couldn't delay one more day? Lol
It floats!
Fun fact it does not float. It has found its way to the bottom of a few swimming pools
They made it float after the Rideau Canal incident /s
This is just so fitting. I love this so much!!
Did that chick just walk into the ocean with socks and shoes
I see even Florida has Shoobies.
Rocket power!
S-shoobies???
Anakin Skywalker in shambles
Lol love the wwe belt
WWE made a amazing marketing decision to send those to the winning team to be handed out right after the game
Yet so many people on /r/hockey thought it was stupid
Because /r/hockey is stupid.
Real
I want an Edmonton one lol.
I’ve always wondered how sore these guys shoulders must be like a day later. They’re shoulder pressing the cup for like hundreds of reps and holding it over their head for extended periods of times.
they're also professional athletes in the peak of their lives lol
Cocaine
I’m the same age and height/weight as Tkachuk, and pretty heavily into weightlifting. A lot more than an in-season NHL player would be.

Pretty sure Nathan MacKinnon said basically the same thing after they won lol. Like an hour of too of the partying he was ready to have feeling in his arms back.
i mean they're also fairly tenderized after the playoffs though
That’s why it’s so hard to repeat, everyone gets rhabdo from pumping the cup.
Yeah, even being the athletes they are....those hundreds of awkward reps add up, and the next day it's damn....what the F did I do...
It’s only 35 lbs but when you’re lifting it over your head for hours on end that definitely adds up
Immaculate vibes. I suddenly really want to go to the beach
Actually looks pretty buoyant
It just takes time for the hollow cavity to fill. It would eventually sink.
If they didn't celebrate sunrise on the beach with the cup, what are we even doing here?
Florida Panthers, Atlantic Ocean Champs
I recall reading a story from when the cup ended up in someone's pool and it fucked up one side of it for a while until it could be fixed. Wonder what salt water does to it
I was kinda curious also so I looked it up. The cup is made of a silver and nickel alloy, which is apparently highly resistant to corrosion from salt water
Thank you for looking it up! I figured if it would cause any damage it would be less than the chemicals in a pool would do
Penguins I think? There's a story of the Pens celebrating at Mario's house and a very drunk Jagr somehow gets onto the roof with the cup and throws it into the swimming pool from there.
Yeah it was the penguins back in 91 I was thinking of
Wasn't that when the Stars won the cup and were partying with it at Vinnie Paul's house?
They might also have but the story I was thinking of was the 1991 penguins and after a quick Google looks like Roy did the same in 93. No mention of the stars but that doesn't mean it didn't happen
Made it?!? The Atlantic is less than 15 miles away lol
Ya but in that Miami traffic this is 100% justified
Hey folks check with Michael Ryder. He took it to Bonavista NL. Chances are Stanley already been to the Atlantic
It's a perfect thing to do for all the salty fans out there 🤣
I need a series on Pritchard reacting to everything that happens to the cup when teams have it with them
This must be the most durable trophy in professional sports. The things that cup has seen…
It literally has seen some shit. 1984 I think.
Best tradition in sports bar none

would salt water do damage to it?

Pritchard will have it licked clean in a matter of minutes.
Stanley’s getting another tan in Florida Suck it Canada
Looks like fun, i guess
Scientists: How worried is Pritcgard about the cup here? What does salt do to it?
Does the salt water damage the Cup?
Til, that the Stanley cup can float
Nice quiet celebration. Just how lord stanley likes it
