The Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night, and it didn’t take them long to begin celebrating.
The Panthers got to skate around with the Cup after winning the title by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6. They also celebrated with the Cup in their locker room afterwards.
By Wednesday, the Panthers had ventured to a familiar spot to celebrate: the Elbo Room. Elbo Room is located in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and was where the Panthers celebrated after winning the Stanley Cup last year. Panthers players were seen hanging out on the balcony with the Cup.

The Elbo Room has been a hangout for the Panthers and its fans for years. The team choosing to celebrate there after winning the Stanley Cup last year cemented its place as a significant location for the Panthers, so it was no surprise they headed there to celebrate again this year.
Matthew Tkachuk had even made it known via social media he was planning to be there.
