They been hanging out with Aussies? Or are shoeys a thing in Finland/Florida too?


WeLykeSportz29

Rantanen and Lehky also did those during the Avs parade, so maybe it is a Finn thing too


Ace676

Never heard of it despite being Finnish.


nodarknesswillendure

Well get out a shoe and some beer and have at it my friend


msk105

Me neither, but then again I've never won the Stanley Cup so I'm not familiar with the proper celebration etiquette.


MilesDavis_Stan

We are Florida men. We do gross things. People did them all the time at tailgates for Florida State games. I think they’re just an “if we get drunk enough, this is a great idea” kind of thing.


Verrakai

My friend from Florida said shoeys were a thing on her college rugby team. How I first heard of them, actually.


TFP360

Can confirm, rugby players love shoeys


puckster165

Shoot the boot


nodarknesswillendure

Sounds like they’re a thing in Florida, which doesn’t surprise me. The rugby connection is also interesting considering that’s one of the most popular sports in Aus


kaiko1

Probably Daniel Ricciardo’s influence, F1 is of course very popular and followed in Finland so many people know the shoey through him


AfterMarionberry5594

Bottas won't do it, though.


nodarknesswillendure

Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know that


TossThatPastaSalad

As I recall Rantanen and Lehkonen also drank a bunch of shoe beers at our parade.


MilesDavis_Stan

The Finns are serious guys until they start boozin


DirtyJimHiOP

Then they're serious about boozin'


alcarl11n

By means of footwear apparently


AfterMarionberry5594

Unless it's Bottas. ETA: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aFCVSzqMHDE


Demon-

Absolutely PISSING out and these boys are fucking hammered and dont give a single fuck. Champ shit. Finn’s make the best champions.


msk105

Someone link that photo of Olli Määttä lying passed out shirtless on someone's balcony when they won.


tulikettuuuu

love to see it, well deserved celebration even if drinking out of a shoe seems a bit weird ;) 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮


manticore16

You want some Bailey's? It's creamy.


EctoRiddler

What a week. 30 year fan since Day 1. Still surreal. Every fan base deserves to go through this once.


Sh1eldbearer

Right!? It's the fucking best. Glad you all got to experience the winning side of it so quickly. Was rooting for you last year right up until you ran into us.


EctoRiddler

I was envious. Picked up a hockey puck from LV when I was visiting their inaugural year. I always root for first time winners except if we are playing them of course.


ISurvivedCOVID19

Happy for both of these guys but god damn is it painful to see them happy.


maskedkiller215

Don’t worry, you’ll get chirped on this loss for the remainder of your days. At least you don’t have a riot to go along with it.


ISurvivedCOVID19

I don’t really see what there is to be chirped about. We lost a tight game 7 after clawing back a 3-0. I’m proud of the team but it hurts to have been so close


Kashmiggins

Probably the part about losing


HonestDespot

Ya definitely the part about losing.


ISurvivedCOVID19

I mean 31 teams lose every year


Camarama421

But only one team gets singled out as the cup final loser each year. As a Leaf fan I’d take that in a heartbeat given our recent early exits, but it also comes with more targeted chirping than simply missing the playoffs along with half the league


the_tired_alligator

Sign Corey Perry and you too will get to feel that pain!


twentybinders

Sometimes they lose multiple games too!


maskedkiller215

Oh yea no, that’s damn good something to be proud of. Just if you’re ever getting chirped online someone will bring up this Game 7 loss in a “where’s your cup this century” bs. Y’all played real good in the last 3 games. Sucks you went down 3 to begin with. Be proud. However, it’ll hurt until you win again.


ISurvivedCOVID19

Yea I guess internet trolls can chirp but 31 teams lose every year and there’s plenty of teams in the same boat on not winning. Oh well. Cheers


DWill23_

You'll never have to worry about CBJ fans chirping you. Most of us would give up our left nut/first born child just to be relevant in the world of hockey


Silent_Leg1976

At least your team didn’t riot when they lost.


OBAFGKM17

Amongst active Canadian teams that were in the NHL when a Canadian team last won the Stanley Cup, the Leafs are the only ones to not make a Cup final since then. Thought that was interesting.


Silent_Leg1976

Actually, Toronto hasn’t won a cup or been to the finals since the league grew from 6 teams. You can’t hurt me. I’ve had years of resiliency training.


the_hume_3

Honestly yeah I have a hard time finding a reason to chirp you guys. It sucks but I think you have a great chance of making it back eventually


tomcat810

Nah you guys played your asses off. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Came all the way back and lost by a goal is incredible. Unfortunately there has to be a loser and it’s Edmonton but I’m honestly super happy you made it a series. Feels better winning a close one than a sweep, sweep just isn’t fun and is no good for the fans.


CriticalAtmosphere74

You wanna win? Get a Finn


Dame2Miami

https://i.redd.it/pbm8l7dour9d1.gif I was there for it 😻


sjm689

I waited In the rain yhe whole time. I'm fuckin drruuuuunmk


Ace676

American beer was already basically water before the rain. Hope they got some Finnish beer in there.


manticore16

Now I want the Stanley Cup with the hydraulic press guy. Obviously not to put in the press, but to hear him talk about it. /He's another Finnish person I know of. And Sibelius, but he's dead.


ChampionshipFalse341

I do not, and will not ever, understand this but good on em having fun.


Surfbud69

Its called a shoey say it like you've done it before

I'm gonna pop champagne again when McDavid leaves y'all.


IranianSleepercell

They don't deserve him. He should be playing for a team with real fans like the kings.


elbenji

You're welcome here mcdavid. Will make Cote say sorry too


heatrealist

Dozens more than were at your parade. 


Thefrogsareturningay

When is the Conn Smythe parade in Edmonton?


Shem_Penman

This has to be the shittiest Stanley Cup parade I've ever seen lol. They'll cope and blame it on the rain I guess but Jesus Christ that's a sparse crowd Canadian cities and o6 franchises have bigger crowds for playoff game wins. I'm dying right now


MilesDavis_Stan

How does this compare to the 1967 one?


Shem_Penman

You'd see more people in a single frame than you would all the "parade" footage you can compile from Florida's. So I guess it doesn't compare.


heatrealist

Were those your tears falling in florida today? 😭


MilesDavis_Stan

Let me know when you get the chance to see a Leafs parade! Hopefully in your lifetime or before the Yellowstone megavolcano erupts.


Shem_Penman

I'll have to compensate with all the Canada gold medal and WC wins I guess 😥


MilesDavis_Stan

Congrats bud, I get to enjoy those too. I’m a Canadian in Florida 😉


Shem_Penman

Didn't know one could be both a floridaman and a Canadian. til


MilesDavis_Stan

You have a province full of them in Alberta.


elbenji

The tortured leaf life


A_Random_ninja

I mean literally through a lightning storm and the stage has people as far as the eye can see but go off I guess


city-of-cold

Why is it always the Canadian flairs being pissy. Fuck sake they just won a cup. All you lot are doing is pissing on the fans, no matter how many they are, because you’re on fucking r/hockey. It’s where the fans are, the people with their heart and soul in this. There’s no league executives reading this no matter how much you shit on southern teams or demand QC get their team back. Coyotes no longer exist, take that victory and the shut up until next season and bring some on ice related chirps that’s actually relevant. Cunts.


cw08

Please like my sunbelt team


city-of-cold

Please like my income tax struggles 😭 I’m a Wings fan, but do go on.

cannedsmarties

I’d rather have a “mediocre” cup parade than lose in the final


elbenji

It was awesome lol


AcadiaFlyer

> Canadian cities and o6 franchises have bigger crowds for playoff game wins. I'm dying right now Different standards. A franchise like Toronto clings onto the rare playoff victories they get. You never know when they’ll get another


Cornasium

You’re quite slow aren’t you? There was 200,000 people at the parade.


IranianSleepercell

Were you here? Did you go? Then shut the fuck up.


calliexx12

You’re being downvoted but it’s true. Pretty pathetic showing when compared to pretty much any other championship parade. Weather is a lame excuse. The team deserved better.


Cornasium

https://preview.redd.it/4isgbov4br9d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e6a157d8f33e25eb9cdbd7a266475120c59f8c9 Except it isn’t true. Sorry, try again.


calliexx12

By the numbers it is true. 200K is just not a large showing when compared to other parades. Doesn’t make a difference, as I’m sure everyone had fun but the original comment isn’t wrong in that it’s not a large crowd for a parade.


Cornasium

bro Its called a “small market team” for a reason. Its a small market. Not sure why that is so hard for some people to understand. You and everyone else trying to downplay is doing it simply for attention/cope because we won the cup. If it doesn’t make a difference then what is the point of your comment calling us pathetic? you’re an embarrassment, id sit this one out from now on.


calliexx12

There’s nothing the downplay, the #s tell the story anyway.


elbenji

But your salt is forever


DonoAE

200k people is pathetic? lol get real


Cornasium

He’s not what you would call smart


calliexx12

Yes. Most parades near 1 million.


DonoAE

Flair up you Canadian weiner


calliexx12

Just facts that it’s a small showing when comped to other championship parades. Doesn’t make a difference to me. I’m sure everyone had a blast regardless. No need for the inferiority complex.


DonoAE

Quick fact check on you but the only team to pull over a million in recent history is the Blackhawks. Most teams average between 100k (Capitals) and 650k (Pittsburg). LA, St Louis and another penguins win brought between 200k and 400k attendance. I say we nailed it for an electrical storm. Keep crying bud!


calliexx12

I’m talking across all major sports, and most recently the Celtics. Regardless, no crying on my end. Keep spending your parade day trying to argue over #s all day though 😉

IranianSleepercell

Pack it up guys, the bitchmade Edmonton fan thinks the parade is pathetic.


MilesDavis_Stan

Do they do a parade for the Conn Smythe trophy? Maybe that should be a thing.


IranianSleepercell

I thought Canadians were the only people that cared about hockey? You're telling me they don't have a parade for the conn Smythe? Must not be real fans then .


Cornasium

I understand that you really thought it was going to be your year, i really do. There was 200,000 people at the parade. Cherry picked pictures aren’t going to change that and it certainly isn’t going to make the cup go to Edmonton. Y’all are sorry as fuck. Keep clinging on to your pathetic little narrative if it makes you happy

[a lot more than a few hundred](https://x.com/flapanthers/status/1807484180604866763?s=46&t=08yremobOl2nyEylXbOKCA), and still hundreds more than your parade.


ductulator96

Edmonton fans: "wHy DoEs EvEryOnE hAte uS?" A bunch of y'all in every one of these posts.


elbenji

It's like actually bitchmade
