Capital’s defenseman Dmitry Orlov is typically quiet on and off the ice. During his Stanley Cup day, he entered a private party with flamethrowers.

But Orlov’s day with the Cup almost went down in flames due to a travel snafu. The trophy was accidentally sent to Novosibirsk, instead of Orlov’s hometown of Novokuznetsk, and the Cup had to be helicoptered in. Orlov’s event was delayed by six hours, and he will not get extended time with the trophy.

But first, let’s enjoy this lit entrance.

The Cup eventually arrived via air six hours late.

But that didn’t discourage the fans, and they showed out to the Public Events Square across the street from the Katok ice rink.

It’s the first time the Cup has been to Novokuznetsk, and the city’s 400th birthday coincided with the Cup’s visit.

Дмитрий Орлов привез Кубок Стэнли в Новокузнецк💪 ⠀⠀ Сегодня защитник «Вашингтона» Дмитрий Орлов представил Кубок Стэнли в родном Новокузнецке. Презентацию на Площади торжеств задержали на несколько часов, так как трофей по ошибке отправили в Новосибирск. ⠀⠀ Орлов пытался договориться, чтобы Кубок остался в Новокузнецке еще и 18 августа, но согласие получить так и не удалось.😔 ________________________ Подписывайся и ставь лайк⬇️ Отбираем только самое лучшее И интересное про хоккей для Вас @playhockey @playhockey @playhockey

Orlov took countless photos with fans who braved the long wait.

Just like we categorized Evgeny Kuznetsov’s fan photos because there were so many, Orly’s fans will get the same treatment.

Classic handshakes? Check.

Thumbs up handshake combo? Double check.

Thumbs up and pointing? Triple Check.

Even Orly contributed to the thumbs up craze.

We also got a thumbs up featuring an unamused child.

But we have a new category. A lot of people used the moment to grab hold of the Cup and never let go.
