When you're a two-time Stanley Cup champion like Matthew Tkachuk, you feel like you're on top of the world. And that confidence was on full display as the Florida Panthers celebrated their historic second straight championship.
During the celebrations, Tkachuk made waves not just for partying hard but for trying to be a wingman for his teammate.
Tkachuk's post came just days after the team's parade and a headline-making $500,000 night at the Eleven Nightclub, proving that the Panthers are enjoying their title win to the fullest. His tweet referencing Sommer Ray added a spicy celebrity twist to the celebrations.
Sommer Ray's Instagram name pops up unexpectedly
It all began when Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov was searching Instagram for Sam Reinhart and stumbled upon Sommer Ray's profile instead.
What could have been a small moment of confusion turned into locker room banter, and soon, it spilled over into social media.
The timing and setting added to the buzz. With the team fresh off their parade, this light-hearted interaction was yet another reminder that the Panthers are soaking up every bit of their hard-earned victory. Sommer Ray, who has millions of followers across platforms, hasn't responded publicly yet, but fans are watching closely.

Anton Lundell
now draws attention off the ice
While Anton Lundell is used to gaining attention for his play on the ice, his name was suddenly trending for a completely different reason.

Whether anything happens from the social media interaction remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the Panthers are owning their moment in the spotlight, both on and off the ice.
As fans eagerly wait for Sommer Ray's possible response, Matthew Tkachuk's humorous matchmaking has already added to the legend of Florida's championship run.

Alia Bhatt Pays Ode To Rekha In A Tarun Tahiliani Saree At Umrao Jaan Screening
Alia Bhatt exudes elegance in a classic fluid saree paired with a fluted blouse featuring a raffia detailed collar. Alia Bhatt paid homage to the classic saree Rekha wore in the iconic film Silsila. Alia's drape, envisioned by celebrity fashion stylist Rhea Kapoor, was brought to life by couturier Tarun Tahiliani. Alia donned the celebratory look for the special screening of Rekha's movie Umrao Jaan in Mumbai. Rooted in tradition yet unmistakably modern, the classic fluid Tarun Tahiliani saree was paired with a fluted blouse featuring raffia detailing on the collar. The style draws inspiration from the saree Rekha wore in the film Silsila. Rhea posted an image of Rekha in the pink saree on Instagram. The blouse added a textural counterpoint, blending artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary structure. Alia Bhatt looked effortlessly graceful in the saree, and we love how she carried it off on the red carpet. Alia completed her alluring look with a pair of feather-inspired sparkling earrings and a satin pleated pink clutch. Stylists are the backbone of the fashion industry, and Rhea and her team, including Sanya Kapoor, who assisted her on this look, ensured the style honoured the classic while adding their own creative aesthetic to Alia's style. The cascading hairstyle and kohl-laden eyes spoke the narrative of yesteryears. Alia's stunning makeup was done by celebrity makeup artiste Puneet B Saini. Puneet took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt note below the post. She wrote: 'Some beauties are born of the moment. Others echo through time. When our beloved Alia channels the one and only Rekha, it's more than a look – it's an homage. A tribute. As one of her most iconic films returns to the big screen, we honour the legend with a quiet nod to her unforgettable presence, talent, beauty and grace. For me, it was nostalgia in every brushstroke." Alia's acting prowess is as versatile as her style quotient, and we love that she is finally open to exploring fashion with an edge. Alia exuded the perfect retro Bollywood vibe as she posed for the paparazzi present at the event. The Umrao Jaan red carpet was a starry affair with celebrities from the film and music industry gracing the occasion in stylish ensembles. Acing the red carpet in style were Aamir Khan, Tabu, Manish Malhotra, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Hema Malini, AR Rahman, Alizeh, Mahima Chaudhary, Nikhat Hedge, Asha Bhonsle, Muzzafar Ali, Rakesh Roshan, Jitendra, Tusshar Kapoor and Nushrratt Bharuccha among others.
