Huge rule break by Matthew Tkachuk after winning Stanley Cup

All of that hard work that players have done throughout the season and playoffs, all of their dreams they've been chasing since they were kids, all culminates into a Stanley Cup win. Despite all this, there are still rules to follow, however Matthew Tkachuk decided to completely ignore them and breached them.

David Dwork of The Hockey News said Matthew Tkachuk took the Cup into the salted Atlantic ocean, and claims to have had no idea he was not supposed to do that under any circumstances.

Tkachuk stands by his statement that he had no idea and would not have done that if he knew, and puts all the blame on his brother Brady of the Ottawa Senators, who gave him the idea to go into the ocean with the Cup. Matthew did redeem himself, as he took the Cup to the St. Louis Children's Hospital and let some sick kids enjoy moments with the precious trophy.

It appears that Tkachuk has gotten away with this rule break and doesn't seem that Gary Bettman will be issuing any fines. It will live as a comedic story in the minds of Panthers fans forever.
