Damn, it feels good to be a champion.
The Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history after getting a 4-3 series victory against the Edmonton Oilers, and captain Aleksander Barkov chose an incredible way to celebrate — by showing up to his neighbors’ house at 4:00 AM with the Stanley Cup.

Talk about a wake up call!
After winning the Stanley Cup following a thriller Monday night, the Panthers decided Tuesday to take the Stanley Cup to Fort Lauderdale to party with it, and that they did. The Panthers used it as a beer waterfall, they swam with it in the Atlantic Ocean, it was a magical day to be a Panther — whether player, fan, executive, etc. But before those epic festivities, Barkov stopped by his neighbors’ house for a visit at 4 a.m., and did so with Lord Stanley itself.

There’s just something about that trophy, it’s special.
