After the Florida Panthers secured their second consecutive Stanley Cup with a 5-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, fans gathered outside the Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate. Early in the morning, captain Aleksander Barkov arrived, hoisting the Stanley Cup and energizing fans who had waited since before dawn. The vibrant atmosphere included cheers, excitement, and a communal spirit as fans expressed their joy for this historical moment, especially since Barkov was the first European captain to achieve back-to-back victories.
The fans, many of whom arrived before 4 a.m., screamed their appreciation and waved their phones, scrambling for a look. "Is it going in the ocean?" Someone yelled.
Barkov, back in the car, said no and drove away. The diehard fans who had gathered outside the Elbo Room in hopes of seeing the Stanley Cup, which the Florida Panthers won Tuesday night for the second straight year, had been there for hours.
