It's been a pretty eventful week for Florida Panthers superstar Matthew Tkachuk.

The 27 year old winger married his long-time sweetheart Ellie Connell this past weekend. The couple tied the knot in St. Louis on Saturday and then he had his day with the Stanley Cup on Monday.

Not a bad way to spend your summer holidays.

What I'm not still quite sure about though is Tkachuk's decision to spend his day with the Cup in a St. Louis area prison.

For real?

Yup.
