Stanley Cup 2011: Bruins celebrate victory with $156,700 bar tab | Mail Online

"It's the most prestigious tournament in ice hockey - so when you win it, there's only one way to celebrate.

Stanley Cup champions the Boston Bruins have toasted their 2011 victory with a staggering $156,679.74 bar bill at the MGM Grand in Mashantucket, Connecticut on Saturday night - and that wasn't even the full team, but just six of its apparently hardiest members.

However $56,679.74 of the tab went on the players working up the Dutch courage to make one final order that will go down in history: a $100,000 bottle of Ace of Spades Midas Champagne."
 


even without the 100k bubbly, that's crazy for a 6 person tab...can't say that i wouldn't do the same if i was a stanley cup winner
 
Lebron does that in one night in Miami. Literally.

NBA money > NHL money
 
This is why most athletes go broke.

Most kids and grown ass man look up to them, and on a smaller scale act the same way. Idiots.
 
Most of the bill was this. 100k.

$26k each, doesn't seem like a big deal when you make the dough they do. Most people dont realize the money some top NHL players make.
 
hey rusky , hate some more. I know you would waste money in vegas if you had it, we all do.
 
^^^

so they make league avg or league min in other leagues... doesnt really refute nba money > nhl money

Disagree. And he made a great point (if stats don't back it up then let me know and I'll retract this) about these guys making tons of money and then being broke shortly after.

Some people are really incapable of having a good time just blowing money they worked hard for.
 
They played over 100 games and won the hardest championship of them all by far....if they wanna blow 100k on a bottle....fucking rights.

I just wish is was the Canucks doing that and not the bruins.
 
so 6 people who likely make millions per year in contracts and millions more in endorsement deals spend $30k each after winning what is often a once in a lifetime event?

seems to me a lot 'sounder' a financial decision than the scores of Americans who make $41k/year and finance some big SUV equal to their gross pay before any taxes/interest for 96 months.

But call me crazy.

(btw at $5M/year $30k is .6% of your income - which is equal to $250 @ $41k/year). Don't tell me people making that don't have a big 'celebration' night where they buy dinner/drinks and run up a $250 bill. It's all relative)
