[Probably safe to assume that no one on the team besides maybe Chuck Hansen really cares that the cup presentation is being delayed because everyone in the building is more preoccupied with watching the game's hero and his lady love (and no one listens to Chuck because all he ever does is bitch). Raleigh swoops in to kiss her again, before he skates off. Listens to the commissioner talk about the season, about the team, about them, about what happened tonight, about his brother too actually and for the first time in a long time, that doesn't do anything but bring a smile to Raleigh's face.
He's not the team captain, so he's not the first to lift the cup. But he is the second and it's everything he thought it would be. Heavy and awesome and he does he lap with it held high but he finds it so easy to pass off onto the next person, because letting go of it means that he can skate off to do what he wants.
Which is hang as close to Mako as he can get between his pads and jersey and the fact that he's in desperate need of a shower.]
