As tradition dictates, the players and coaches drank beer and champagne from the storied Stanley Cup. The team then took the celebrations to the streets and bars to keep the party going. Sebastian Aho was the Hurricanes’ leading scorer during the regular season. In the playoffs, the alternate captain recorded 12 points in 19 games.

Sebastian Aho drunk radio call
Sebastian Aho sounded exactly as you might expect—like someone who had been celebrating nonstop since the final horn. Aho also seemed determined to answer every question with nothing but “yes.”
“Do we have a freshly crowned Stanley Cup champion on the line?” host Tuukka Ritokoski asked.
“Yes, we do!” Aho shouted back.
“Sebastian, I’d like to say it’s great to hear your voice, but I have to admit it doesn’t sound too great right now. I assume you haven’t completely lost your voice. Did you leave the window open all night? Or have you been celebrating pretty hard?” Ritokoski asked.
“Yeeees,” Aho replied.
“Have you drunk anything other than water from the Stanley Cup in the past few hours?” Ritokoski asked.
“Yeeees,” Aho admitted.
