NHL championship cup "vacation" photos are just too good not to see.

While an outsider to the tradition might wonder what a person would want to do with a giant silver cup weighing 15.5 kilograms (about 34 pounds), this year's winning team, the Capitals, had no shortage of ideas.


According to the Washington Post, players took the Cup everywhere with them since their win in Las Vegas two months ago. Over the course of the summer, its been carted to concerts, festivals, parties, and clubs. Some of the countries the Cup made its way to include Russia, Denmark, Sweden, and Saskatchewan, and it was used to hold everything from beer and caviar to horse feed and even babies.

Pam Bondi Slammed Over Letter To Tim Walz With Unhinged Demand In Exchange For ICE Leaving Minnesota

Bondi argued that the federal government needs access to Minnesota’s voter rolls to verify that the state’s registration practices comply with federal law. The Justice Department has been pressing Minnesota and other states for voter registration data for months and sued Minnesota over access last year, though it has not previously linked that effort to immigration enforcement actions in the state.
