Tarasenko meets up with Stanley Cup in Novosibirsk

In the shadow of the World's Largest Train Ride was the Greatest Trophy in All of Sports.

Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko hoisted the Stanley Cup on Sunday in Novosibirsk, Russia.

Tarasenko, a native of Yaroslavl, Russia, met up with the Cup right near the Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest railway in the world at 5,772 miles. Once the Cup arrived, Tarasenko brought it to be with his family, wife Yana, their three sons and his father Andrei and grandfather.

Just a day earlier, teammate Ivan Barbashev
had the Cup in Moscow
and got a pretty big surprise from 2018 Conn Smythe winner Alex Ovechkin. Tarasenko continued the trend of incorporating former Cup winners into the celebration by inviting friend and fellow Novosibirsk native Dmitry Orlov, the Washington Capitals defenseman who also had his
day with the Cup
in Siberia in 2018.

Tarasenko led the Blues with 33 goals this past season. His 11 playoff goals were second on the team, one behind Jayden Schwartz.
