Boston Bruins toast Stanley Cup in style with big night out

Wednesday 22 June 2011


THE Boston Bruins went from hard hitters to hard drinkers at the weekend, racking up an eye-watering $156,679.74 bar tab in one night of partying at a Connecticut casino, The Boston Globe reported Tuesday.

                                                                                         The Stanley Cup champions knocked back an assortment of alcoholic beverages during Saturday's spree - including 136 Bud Lights, 35 Jagerbombs and a $100,000 bottle of ultra-exclusive Ace of Spades "Midas" champagne.
Their resulting bill, a photograph of which was printed by the newspaper, included a hefty $25,000 tip for staff at the MGM Foxwoods Casino's Shrine Nightclub.
The Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals last Wednesday night, claiming the franchise's first cup since 1972.
They marked their victory Saturday by pouring champagne from their 30-liter bottle of "Midas" - one of only six in existence - into the trophy itself, before taking turns to swill down the pricey bubbly.
The empty bottle was then autographed by the players and will be raffled off at a later date to benefit the Bruins foundation, according to The Globe.
