Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk is ready to keep the championship celebration going at the team's Stanley Cup parade on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale.
The Panthers will be celebrating their second consecutive Stanley Cup title after defeating the Edmonton Oilers again in the Stanley Cup Finals this year.
Tkachuk jokingly posted on social media:
"3 most certain things in life - 1) Death 2) Taxes 3) Me shotgunning a Bud Light at elbo room tomorrow."
He was referring to the Elbo Room bar in Fort Lauderdale, where the Panthers celebrated on Wednesday. Tkachuk was seen spraying fans with champagne and beer as the team partied with their fans.
"Can’t wait for the parade ! We have the best fans in the world! @FlaPanthers" Tkachuk added.
After the Panthers’ locker room cleanout at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday, Matthew Tkachuk said that the team didn’t just dominate in games—they’re also leading the charge when it comes to celebrating.
