Rain doesn’t stop the Panthers from celebrating Stanley Cup victory

WATCH : The Edmonton Oilers fell one game short of a comeback for the ages, winning three in a row to tie the final series only to drop the deciding Game 7 to the Florida Panthers by a score of 2-1. Fans came out in droves across Edmonton to cheer on their team, only to be left gutted. Breanna Karstens-Smith has more from downtown.Matthew Tkachuk was soaked. Such is life when you’re out in an absolute downpour for a few hours. He did not seem to be bothered by this whatsoever.

He also lauded the fire rescue officials who worked the event and had to briefly treat one of his daughters, who Maurice said got hit in the head by a flying beer can. She was fine.“In my wildest dreams I never would have thought I could see this,” Maurice said from the stage, thanking fans and players for making the Cup run possible.

The parade and the rally capped a first few days of celebration that included the following items, among others, going into the Stanley Cup at various times: beer, champagne, apple juice, no fewer than three human beings — all children of players — and a steaming dish of pasta topped with freshly grated cheese, a dinner that Panthers legend Roberto Luongo proudly enjoyed.Panthers owner Vincent Viola danced on the stage as his wife, Theresa, captured the scenes on her phone.
