The Florida Panthers celebrated their historic back-to-back Stanley Cup victories with exuberance at Fort Lauderdale's Elbo Room, becoming only the third team in the salary cap era to achieve such a feat. Led by captain Aleksander Barkov, who arrived in style with the Cup in a police vehicle, the team partied into the early morning hours alongside fans, highlighting their bond and the joy of victory. Players including Matthew Tkachuk and Gustav Forsling were spotted soaking in the celebration.

Notably, the Panthers' antics included pouring beer into the Stanley Cup and sharing it with enthusiastic fans below. This year, players refrained from last year’s ocean dip with the Cup, adhering to NHL rules. As the excitement settled, plans for the championship parade were confirmed, promising another wave of celebration with an expected crowd surpassing 200,000.
