The Florida Panthers clinched their second consecutive Stanley Cup last night with a dominant 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the finals, defeating the Oilers in four games against the Oilers' two wins.

Beyond the Panthers' win, Sam Reinhart made history as the first NHL player since 1957 — and sixth ever — to score four goals in a Finals game. The victory clinched Florida's second straight championship and another Finals win over Edmonton in a rematch of last year's showdown.

Fans across Florida celebrated late into the night. Festivities will continue at Sunday's victory parade, which begins at noon in Fort Lauderdale. The parade's route will mimic last year's, starting along A1A at Riomar Street, traveling south to SE Fifth Street, and culminating with a Fort Lauderdale Beach Park rally.

Nowhere does the party go harder than at Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale, where hundreds of fans packed the bar throughout the day, alongside Panthers team members and their beloved Stanley Cup, to celebrate. Crowds reportedly gathered around the popular South Florida beach bar, which has been open since 1938, before the sun rose.

Some Panthers even joined the crowd to celebrate up close: defenseman Nate Schmidt partied amongst the raucous crowd in the middle of the street, while left wing A.J. Greer got a haircut.

But every fan may not want to hop up and down with Schmidt while trying to record the spectacle for Instagram or have beer poured straight from the Stanley Cup into their mouth (hey, we're not judging either way).

Here, in no particular order, are some of the best moments from Stanley and the gang's Elbo Room bash.

Reinhart even signed a jersey for the Buffalo Sabres, where he got his start and played for seven seasons before being traded to the Panthers. After signing, he threw the jersey off the balcony and into the crowd.

The Panthers marked the moment at Elbo Room once again, but this time, it seems that rather than taking Stanley for a dip in the Atlantic Ocean, the team opted to keep the infamous trophy dry — for now.
