There was a story from the Bruins' celebration with the Cup that I meant to write about last week, and following a further development today, I knew I had to get to it.
After the Cup parade on the Saturday before last, some of the team got on a bus and went to a casino to party. And I guess it's only to be expected (?) that they were given a $100,000 bottle of champagne? I mean, if you say so. And really, who could expect them to limit themselves to just that? They had a lot to celebrate!
There's a pretty good picture of the bar bill/receipt here, and there is a certain fascination in it. All the Red Bull is doubtless because they hadn't slept much that week; but why is there only one "Kami Kazi" but 35 "Jager Bombs"? I don't drink, so I don't know what most of it is, but it sure does tell a story.
And today, in the continuing saga, comes word that Amstel Light is trying to learn which Bruin drank the one Amstel Light on the tab. Can you blame them? That's one hell of an advertising moment.

In non-drinking-related hockey news, word came today that the Montreal police want to question Zdeno Chara about the Max Pacioretty incident back in March. Even Pacioretty says that Chara should not be prosecuted, but we'll see what happens. But what made me laugh was this line, from the Puck Daddy story:
Plus, arrest(ing) Chara might prove difficult, unless they can fly in the handcuffs they used on Chewbacca while saving the princess on the Death Star.I suppose when a guy's that tall, standard issue might not work, eh?
Well, that was good for the economy. 35 jaeger bombs and one kamikaze? Um, someone bought a drink for a lady?
