The Florida Panthers won the consecutive Stanley glasses after winning game 6 on the Edmonton Oilers, 5-1, Tuesday night.
As expected, a party occurred at Rierant Bank Arena, and lasted all night for players and fans equally.
However, what Captain Aleksander Barkov did in the early hours of Wednesday morning is one of the funniest stories of the Stanley Cup of all time.

A ring camera in the development of Barkov caught him from home home, showing his neighbors the Stanley Cup. Yes, he brought him home with him.
The general manager of the Panthers, Bill Zito, appeared in “The Pat Mcafee Show” by ESPN, where he shared that Barkov was walking through his neighborhood at 5 am with the Lord Stanley Cup.

“Apparently, he went home at five in the morning to change and clean before continuing,” Zito told the show. “And he walked through the neighborhood and hit the door of everyone’s house. ‘Hey, do you want coffee with the cup?'”
The Stanley Cup has been practically everywhere over the years, especially with each player and coach who gets it before the new season begins.

So, although Barkov’s story is not the craziest situation in which the Cup has been, it is still fun, since he wanted to share the celebration with everyone who could, even with his neighbors.
Barkov, now twice champion of the Stanley Cup, had two assists in the defeat of game 6 of the Oilers, including the perfect pass for Sam Reinhart in his second of four goals at night. That goal gave Florida a 3-0 dominant advantage in the second period.
The Panthers have played to the point where the dynasty conversation has emerged, and Barkov is one of the many superstars on the list that will return for the 2025-26 season.

However, the preparation for three titles in a row will surely come. For now, Barkov and the rest of his teammates keep the party, and clearly wants everyone involved.
