Panthers' massive bar tab revealed after wild Stanley Cup party at Miami nightclub
At this point, we're starting to wonder how the Stanley Cup didn't receive more than just a couple of dents and nicks.
The party seemingly hasn't stopped for the Florida Panthers since they defeated the Edmonton Oilers last week to capture their second straight Stanley Cup — with one trip to a Miami nightclub racking up an obscene bill.
The Panthers' tab at E11EVEN reportedly hit US$500,000 or roughly C$687,000 after they celebrated their hard-earned repeat until early in the morning – and some players didn't even want to leave the club, which is open 24 hours on weekends.
Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk revealed that captain Aleksander Barkov had to pull teammate Brad Marchand away from the club at 5 a.m. once he found out that the team's entire bill had been comped.
'He was going to pay before he realized it was a $500Gs comp,' Tkachuk said on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast. 'We're treated pretty well there. They do a good job, they're classy.'
Ex-NHLer and current analyst Paul Bissonnette added on the podcast that there was a lot of 'pent-up partying that was on display between E11EVEN, the parade, dunking in the ocean … It was an all spectacle that definitely rivals that 2019 Washington team.'
'Seeing Marchand holding the Cup crowd surfing at E11EVEN was out of control,' former NHLer Ryan Whitney added on the podcast.
In a clip that went viral last week, Marchand was seen hoisting Lord Stanley's mug while being lifted up by partygoers as Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club played. The song had been a rallying cry for the Oilers during their playoff run before their fall to the Panthers.
The party hasn't stopped since Florida won the Cup last Tuesday. Members of the team and the Cup itself have been spotted at several bars around South Florida, including multiple stops at the popular Elbo Room.
Barkov also got his neighbours in on the celebrations after knocking on their door at 5 a.m. with teammates and the Cup in hand last Wednesday morning.
The team held its parade on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale with the beach packed with tens of thousands of fans.

Tyreek Hill ready to 'change the narrative' surrounding Dolphins
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, star Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill said it's time for Miami to change the storylines that surround the franchise. During a recent appearance on the "Glory Daze" podcast with Johnny Manziel from the Fanatics Fest in NYC, Hill commented on the urgency he feels heading into 2025. "This year as one of the leaders, I told the guys, it's time to change who we are as a team. It's time to change the narrative about we are not able to play in cold weather, we are not a physical team. So, I'm tired of that narrative. I'm tired of living behind not being able to go to the playoffs and win in Miami, because we got a damn good team. "We got a good quarterback, we got a good offensive lineman and we got some good coaches and we got some good people in the community who deserve to be a part of that. So, I feel like this is the year that we change all of that," Hill said. Trade talks have encompassed Miami cornerback Jalen Ramsey's offseason. During his podcast appearance with Manziel, Hill discussed how he was gearing up to put the "full court press" on recruiting Ramsey back to South Beach. Hill knows that Ramsey remaining with the Dolphins puts Miami in the best position to accomplish some of the team goals that Hill was talking about alongside Manziel. But, it's also because Hill doesn't want Ramsey to miss out on that moment when postseason success does happen for Miami. "I'm really hoping that we sign Jalen Ramsey back, because he's a great leader on the defensive side of the ball. And just being able to do something special in Miami and win a playoff game after 25 years, I think that's something that he doesn't want to miss out on. "We got to get to that. That's something that I talk to my Mom about every day. I take pride in that. Being one of the leaders on this team, I not only want to do it for myself, man, but I want to do it for the fans. I want to do it for the community of Miami, because it's special to me. I don't know, man. It's just something different about me. I just feel different. I just feel like if I don't do it, I'm basically just collecting a check, and I don't want to feel like that," Hill said. At times throughout the first two seasons of Mike McDaniel's run in Miami, it felt and looked like the Dolphins were primed to turn the postseason corner. But, Miami stumbled through a five-game losing streak late in the 2022 season. And then the Dolphins were without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in a 34-31 AFC Wild Card loss at Buffalo as Tagovailoa missed the final two games of the season with a second concussion. In 2023, the Dolphins raced out to a 5-1 record and put up 70 points in a Week 3 win over Denver. The Dolphins were 11-4 before dropping their final two regular season games at Baltimore and versus Buffalo. Miami's loss at Baltimore was a laugher, 56-19. Then, at a frosty Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Miami suffered a 26-7 loss against the Chiefs in the AFC Wild Card round once more. At the time, it was the Dolphins' 11th straight loss when game-time temps were 40 degrees or less. In 2024, Tagovailoa's injury absences dug the Dolphins too deep a hole to climb out of as Miami finished 8-9. Now, with 2025 training camp nearing, Hill seems locked back in to steering the Dolphins to a place they haven't been in 25 years.
