The Florida Panthers have been celebrating winning the Stanley Cup Final all week after nearly blowing a 3-0 lead in the series. They took care of business in Game 7 on Monday night, and it's been a nonstop party in South Florida ever since.

You name it and the Stanley Cup has been part of it.

The players have even taken it for a swim and waterboarded a guy with beer from it. Getting to celebrate with it is part of why teams sacrifice themselves and put their bodies on the line for an entire season.

On Sunday came the official celebration for the players and their fans. Despite a slight delay to the start of the championship parade because of weather, plenty of Panthers fans were in attendance for the franchise's first Stanley Cup parade.

Everyone knows championship parades can go off the rails at times. Sunday's was no different. One of the fans was interviewed by a local ABC affiliate along the parade route and the interview didn't last long.

The fan waved the reporter over and as soon as the microphone was close enough, she expressed what a lot of Panthers fans feel about star Matthew Tkachuk and used an F-bomb to do so.

She said as she stared right into the camera, "Let's just say Matthew Tkachuk is a f*cking baller!"

A Championship Parade Can Always Use An F-Bomb On Live TV

Now it's a championship parade. Every one of them needs at least one moment like this one. The passion of an F-bomb on live TV from a fan can't be faked.

You want to know how it feels to watch your team win a championship then sit through the rain to celebrate along the parade route? That's how it's done.

The censors aren't going to like it, but everyone watching at home will. This is the pure joy that goes along with being on top of sport.  What a moment for Florida Panthers fans.
