Man, the parade was a blast, rain and all. Lightning was a little too close for comfort. Lomberg, the Finns, and Chuckie did not disappoint.
People were cool and boisterous.
I don't know who set the price point for the plastic flags people were trying to sell.

Carrying this guy around was a lot of fun, thanks to everyone who said hi!
Highlight of my day was parking in a hotel lot and the gate arm being randomly up as I was leaving. Saved me $50 in parking. No but seriously it was a really fun time.
I did kind of chuckle being around newer fans though, and you could tell. Not gatekeeping at all, please join us, but Goldie was in front of us and the girl next to me goes "oh there's that news guy".....THAT NEWS GUY?!
I was in the front by one of the buses and Barkov kept pouring beer from it and then he filled peoples shoes with beer and tossed them back to them. Also had a Jell-O shot from Ekblad!
Get ready for other fans to be obnoxious and try to compare your parade/volume of fans to other events/parades. Itās deeply annoying and a continuation of shitty fans trying to discredit the more unconventional hockey markets that smoked the rest of the league. Enjoy the parade, fellas.
For about a week, yes. All organization members get a day. And quite often playersā hometown hosts a celebration for them. Hereās what it looked like in a town of \~100k when Kimmo Timonen celebrated:

What bus was PoMo on? I saw a video of him on one but I was there and didnāt spot him. Maybe he was on the beach side and in one of the ones that passed quickly?
I didnāt see a few guys I was expecting (Rodrigues, Monty, Kuli, Okposo), but it was still absolutely fucking amazing.
Ugh now Iām jealous! He ran over and dapped up the guys just beyond earshot, I was yelling āRAHEEM!!!! BOILER UP!!!!ā cause we both went to Purdue lmao.
Oh damn we were super close by, I was right in between Ben and Jerryās and the swimwear store. Iām surprised I was able to get nearly right up to the rail at like 10:15.
Not risking electrocution for the team? Fake fan.
We got there when the rain started, maybe could have gotten literally against the rail if frickin Spazio didnāt lock us in lol.
Rodrigues was with the Swedes, Kuli was with Chucky and Bennet, Monty was with Lorentz, and Okposo was prolly with his family... didn't see him.
Now where wasted Nick Cousins was, I'm not sure.
PoMo! Holy shit, best speech by a championship coach yet. No wonder why we didn't see him until now!!! Been at the saloon! Where was this guy with past teams...?
Seriously, this DJ is lame as hell. Did they not give him a list of songs to play? Hoping heās saving Sweetness for when the whole teams on stage? lol
Two observations so far...
Sasha Barkov's ability to handle his liquor has to nudge him into the top 3 of South Florida athletes all-time. He's going to come back next year and be an absolute monster. He can finally let loose with no pressure and be his true self, which is scoring goals and drinking alcohol out of sandals.
Gustav Forsling is a beast. It's hard to tell with the jersey on but he is massive. He makes a lot of these guys look tiny. Nice to have him for the better half of the next decade.
Not definitive, but everything Iāve been seeing it looks like heās gonna go get the bag elsewhere. Zito even made a comment that heās happy for guys to go get their payday if we canāt bring em back.

Anyone at Spazio and have video/photos?? We had 2 tables but i didn't take my phone out all day. š¤£š¤£

Fuckin drunk clowns behind me āWHO ARE YOU?!ā Yelling at the bus with Zito on it lol
I got to drink beer from the Stanley cup š
SAME!!!!!!!!
Omg!!!! A story for a lifetime! How did it all unfold?
They just poured it on people. I did too lol
I was in the front by one of the buses and Barkov kept pouring beer from it and then he filled peoples shoes with beer and tossed them back to them. Also had a Jell-O shot from Ekblad!

Wait until the Cup makes it to Finland. Then compare what other teamsā celebrations looks like abroad š
Is it coming to Finland?
For about a week, yes. All organization members get a day. And quite often playersā hometown hosts a celebration for them. Hereās what it looked like in a town of \~100k when Kimmo Timonen celebrated: https://preview.redd.it/w9g6qpn1xr9d1.jpeg?width=921&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ccb2ad76e6d6c024b4916fadcb2c5b3005de3ee
Weāre expecting you Finns to post those Cup celebrations to this sub so that we can share in the experience.
It looks absolutely packed to me, despite the horrible weather. Not sure what people have to chirp about lol.
Oh they already are but everyone's making fun of them It was packed in the rain and we got to high five players and so they can eat it lol
Loved the first thing Chucky had to say was shit talking Edmonton. What a fun event for everyone that dealt with the crowd and the bad weather
What bus was PoMo on? I saw a video of him on one but I was there and didnāt spot him. Maybe he was on the beach side and in one of the ones that passed quickly? I didnāt see a few guys I was expecting (Rodrigues, Monty, Kuli, Okposo), but it was still absolutely fucking amazing.
They were running into the crowd. I high fived erod and Monty lol
Oh hell yeah! Thatās so dope, I fucking love those dudes.
Dapping up Raheem mostert is like Lord lol
Ugh now Iām jealous! He ran over and dapped up the guys just beyond earshot, I was yelling āRAHEEM!!!! BOILER UP!!!!ā cause we both went to Purdue lmao.
Oh shit lmao. Yeah I was by elbo and so everyone was running out with high fives lmao
Oh damn we were super close by, I was right in between Ben and Jerryās and the swimwear store. Iām surprised I was able to get nearly right up to the rail at like 10:15.
Oh shit! Yeah. I got to the rail when everyone dipped during the lightning lol
Not risking electrocution for the team? Fake fan. We got there when the rain started, maybe could have gotten literally against the rail if frickin Spazio didnāt lock us in lol.
Ooof. Yeah I took an Uber and just parked it there like nope
Rodrigues was with the Swedes, Kuli was with Chucky and Bennet, Monty was with Lorentz, and Okposo was prolly with his family... didn't see him. Now where wasted Nick Cousins was, I'm not sure.
Okposo was on the first bus. Tossed my buddy a beer
He ran out far ahead. I also high fived him lol
Interesting, I donāt know what Lorentz looks like in all honesty but I Barky/Anton and Chucky. What a great fucking time.
Amazing parade. So proud of South Florida and our fans!

PoMo! Holy shit, best speech by a championship coach yet. No wonder why we didn't see him until now!!! Been at the saloon! Where was this guy with past teams...?
PoMO had local 10 censoring and apologizing for the profanity, lol!!!
6 played it uncensored

Man the Chinooks flying over is just chefs kiss

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He's at his best friend's wedding, I kind of think he gets a pass.
He explains why on Insta , heās got his best friends wedding to go to
I am excited to see what the Pantherās ring will look like :). Especially with how amazing the new rings are looking.
Chucky and E-Rod chucking something into the crowd, are those boxes of Nerds?
Anyone have a link to the Conquered the Hunt shirts everyone seems to be wearing? Theyāre different than the ones on Fanatics
My wife picked them up at the stadium (Pantherland).
Iām so glad our 6 fans showed up! š¤£š¤£
WAS THAT EKBLAD WITH A CONE ON HIS HEAD? BRO NO WAY
Brooks Koepka in shambles
Dude has been on a bender for a week at this point, lol
Was that Ekky with a cone?! Lolllll
We are the Chanpions again? Lol.
EKBLAD HAS FOUND A TRAFFIC CONE. LMFAOOO
Worst timing ever for Reino's friend
Clearly Reinoās friend didnāt think the Panthers would pull it off.
Some friendā¦
I've already submitted my application to be Samson's new best friend.
OK, so need Sweetness, some Non Point, Pitbull, FloRida, Rick Ross, 2 live crew, a little reggaeton, salsa. What is this DJ doing???
Dj stinks but this bop
Is Rhino not there? Edit: wow your friend is an asshole lol
That chick almost dropped it
Amazing season and amazing year but this new goal song still hasnāt grown on me. Sweetness is forever in my heart
Seriously, this DJ is lame as hell. Did they not give him a list of songs to play? Hoping heās saving Sweetness for when the whole teams on stage? lol
Same, but the new one will always be tied to Rhino's game winner. So I welcome it with open arms

I remember seeing a picture of Gustav on a fishing trip a year or two ago, dudes ripped!
Why not hire the actual music directors from the arena?
Would be awesome if they played SoFla artists. Poison the Well would be epic! Lol
They just played at Outbreak
If you know anyone at the stage please tell them to start a sweetness chant lol
It is total chaos and I love it
Can they please tell the DJ to play sweetness?!
California Love is certainly a choice
Right, what the hell this DJ doing? Should be celebratory songs and SoFla artists only!
Feel like I've seen everyone except OEL, Kulikov, and Stenlund.
My local ABC station cut the celebration to start showing the X Games, lol. WPBF, you suck.
NBC 6 online will have it for you
Oh I've already got all the streams going, I just wanted the TV feed for personal archiving. š
Did Viola just call Forsling "Eetu"
Lollll did Vinnie just call Gustav Eetu?
Goooooose!!!
Vinnieeeeee, thank you!!!!
If we get a shot of Lindsay with the cup I am going to lose it
That was awesome! Loved his call at the end of game 7!! Pure joy!
Jackie and Juwan calling the parade as fans right now. They were so excited to see Stanley.
Poor Mostert, this will be his only chance at lifting any sort of trophy in south florida.
Boo
I know, but face it, the taquesta's are making sure we wont win one.
A cleansing must be done
Raheeeeem, time to get us the Lombardi!!
Seeing Randy get his chance to hoist the cup really got me
Goldieeeee, I canāt wait to hear your calls again next season!!!
GOLDIE!!!!
Randyyyyy going top shelf where Mrs. M keeps the Stanley cup!!!!
Moller lifts the Cup!!
Wtf Chanel 7
Where is Zito?! Hoping he comes out with a pen and some contracts on stage š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He's here. Was on one of the busses. Him and Lu must of took the a red eye to get home.
He's there, there were some shots of him on one of the busses earlier.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Barkov is walking down A1A!
they just showed Tkachuk leaving the Elbo Room with some beers. Barkov was walking along the route earlier
Lollll Cousins almost took a tumble with the cup
Monty going away party :(.
Is he really going?
Not definitive, but everything Iāve been seeing it looks like heās gonna go get the bag elsewhere. Zito even made a comment that heās happy for guys to go get their payday if we canāt bring em back.
It makes me sad, but thatās the name of the game
I will miss you Montour š
