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.
Congratulations to US: Boston Bruins player Zdeno Chara (right) drinks from the Stanley Cup as team mate Shawn Thornton just drinks straight from the the $100,000 bottle of Ace of Spades Midas Champagne
Getting my groove on: Brad Marchand shows he's got some moves off the ice also
There are just six of the 30-litre bottles in existence - well, five now.
Made by luxury brand Armand de Brignac and produced by Champagne house Cattier, it is the largest bottle of luxury Champagne in the world.
The gold metallic bottles are crafted entirely by hand, inspired by fashion designer Andre Courreges.
I'd much rather go to a club in Providence then Shrine....
Shrine is great.... if you like 40 year old washed up hookers.

156k and they didn't even eat...
also, did anyone find out what the tip was? i'd say 30k, easily.. whoever worked that shift must've celebrated like nuts after the shift.. and imagine that poor guy/girl that called in sick that night or just wasn't scheduled that night to work. you can find him now on the george washington bridge.

I just saw Chara say during the NHL Awards, that they didn't purchase the bottle of champagne. It was given to them as a gift.

Nickay you really let me down....service charge on the bill is 24 large. Grat always included on 156k tabs. Act like you been there before...I mean who hasn't
Also tip split between staff but house gets a rake too....prob either half or a third
