The Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup over the Florida Panthers on June 13th. Yesterday was their Cup parade and as is customary, one player always enjoys himself a little too much.
According to Sportsnet, Knights forward William Karlsson had a little to much to drink before taking to mic at the parade, the result, is one of the best victory speeches you'll ever see; take a look.

At one point, Karlsson fell down the stairs and had to be carried away from the stage as per a video from Jesse Granger of the Athletic.
William Karlsson fell down the stairs. It's so loud the stage is shaking.
The biggest party in the history of Las Vegas.
I get that people are trying to do their jobs as is evident in the video, but having him carried away is a little bit much in my opinion. Karlsson just won the Stanley Cup, widely regarded as the toughest trophy to win in sports, he shouldn't have been carried off stage.
