Turns out the Boston Bruins really are big and BAD.The Stanley Cup champions really let loose after their victory parade through Boston on Saturday morning, partying into the night at the Shrine nightclub at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.And when it was over, the Bruins had racked up an astonishing four-hour bar tab that totalled $156,679.74 U.S., which included a $100,000 bottle of Ace of Spades "Midas" champagne and a built-in tip of $24,869.80 for a server named Danielle (according to a photograph of the bill).
The Boston Globe and boston reported that nightclub owners Ed Kane, Joe Kane and Randy Greenstein hand-delivered the 30-litre "Midas" bottle, believed to be one of six in existence.The bottle was twice the size of the 15-litre Ace of Spades brut that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban purchased for his team after its NBA championship a little more than a week ago. The Mavericks actually outspent the Bruins at their party, running up a tab of nearly $200,000.Some other highlights on the Bruins' tab: 35 Jager Bombs totalling $525, three bottles of Captain Morgan rum at $300 each, nine Grey Goose Magnums at $600 a pop and 136 Bud Lights totalling $680.
The "Midas" bottle, which was signed by every Bruins team member in attendance, will be on display at High Rollers at Foxwoods and will be raffled off at a later date to benefit the Bruins' charitable foundation.
According to the Globe, "before anyone could sample the Champagne, it had to be opened - and that proved difficult. Zdeno Chara tried, but the 6-9 defenceman couldn't do it. Finally, after a few failed attempts, the cork was removed, and the Champagne was poured into the Stanley Cup."
The newspaper said that while Chara, wearing jeans and an Ed Hardy T-shirt, proved he could dance, "no one kicked it like Brad Marchand and rookie Tyler Seguin, who spent much of the night on top of the bar, shirtless, and spritzing the crowd with champagne.
"They were occasionally joined by teammates, some of whom seemed to be using these postseason parties to perfect their Dougie, the dance made famous by Lil' Wil. Even the team's oldest player, 43-year-old Mark Recchi, jumped up on the bar and busted a move."
