Panthers’ Aleksander Barkov wakes up neighbors at 5 a.m. with raucous Stanley Cup celebration
NY Post
Aleksander Barkov gave his Florida neighbors a surprise wake-up call after winning the Stanley Cup.
The Panthers’ captain showed Lord Stanley’s Cup to his neighbors around 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, as Ring camera footage from Barkov’s housing development captured him going house to house to show off his team’s prized possession.
The footage posted to social media showed Barkov alongside several teammates walking up to a neighbor with the Cup on hand.
“I have the ring camera of Barkov knocking on my door,” neighbor Roger Rojas — @Rogerrojas_ — posted to X.
Panthers general manager Bill Zito said on the “Pat McAfee Show” that Barkov had returned home momentarily from their rendezvous before continuing their big night on the town winning their second straight title, both against the Oilers.
“Apparently, he went home at like five in the morning to change and clean up before they kept going,” Zito said on the show Wednesday. “And walked around his neighborhood and banged on everyone’s front door. ‘Hey, you want coffee with the Cup?’”
