EDMONTON — Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers started his NHL off-season Tuesday by taking the Stanley Cup for a swim at Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Later this week, he will appear on TV and talk shows, pose for photo ops, and participate in a championship parade and rally.

The Oilers, led by Conn Smythe winner Connor McDavid and new coach Kris Knoblauch, lost Monday's Game 7 by a final score of 2-1. After trailing the best-of-seven championship series 3-0, the Alberta squad reeled off three straight wins and tried to become the first team since the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs to claim a Cup after losing the first three games of the final.

Captain McDavid said the loss"really hurt and really sucks." Leon Draisaitl was in tears. There were ice packs, bandages and bruises everywhere. Players wondered out loud if it was the last time this particular group would have a chance to hoist a Cup together.
