If you win the Stanley Cup, it is your duty as a hockey player to have the wildest night of your life, to party for all the nights you have not won the Stanley Cup. The Blackhawks obliged: After ordering a ton of beer and pizza to the United Center locker room, the Blackhawks made their way to The Mid, a Chicago nightclub:

A lot of people wanted to party with the Cup -- check out a Twitter search for "#cuptracker" where Chicagoans tried to find out which bar the trophy was headed to -- but those at the Mid were the lucky ones. They also got a surprise performance from Tiesto.
But eventually, the sun rose, and the Cup made its way out of the club:
Hope you enjoyed your night out, Stanley. Chicago sure did. Next year again?
