The Stanley Cup woke up like this. "This," of course, means in a bed with Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson.
Johnson shared some celebratory photos on Monday, the morning after the Avalanche defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to take home the third title in team history. Johnson posted some photos to his Instagram stories , including one of the Cup in bed, tucked under the blankets with its bowl on the pillow and captioned it, "I woke up. And I wasn't dreaming." The next photo is a shot of Johnson in the bed with his arm around the trophy . The Cup began its night by robbing someone on the team flight of their leg room.
