The Boston Bruins EPIC $156,679.74 Foxwoods Nighclub Bar Tab (INFOGRAPHIC)

It's pretty simple: If you win the Stanley Cup, you get to party.

And, oh, how the Boston Bruins did party. $156,679.74 in bar expenses worth of partying, according to a receipt from the nightclub where the Bruins celebrated their game seven Stanley Cup victory of the Vancouver Canucks.

The Bruins' bar tab from Shrine nightclub at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., according to the club, included 136 Bud Lights, 3 bottle of Captain Morgan at $300 each, $525 spent on 35 Jager Bombs, 9 bottles of Goose MG at $600 a piece and a bottle of Johnny Walker Black for $350.

Someone also had a Corona -- $6.

The real big ticket item, however, was a $100,000 bottle of Ace of Spades “Midas” champagne, reportedly given to the team as a gift from Foxwoods, to be signed and auctioned off to benefit the Bruins Foundation charity at a later date.

Despite Bruins player Shawn Thornton's kind words for the Foxwoods hospitality and statement, "there's no doubt about it, we partied like we won the Stanley Cup," reported by the Boston Globe, teammate Zdeno Chara wasn't so impressed with the Shrine bar tab going public.

"I'm not sure how it got out," Chara said. "That was our first and only night we had as a team together. We went out to Foxwoods to have a normal good time, nothing crazy. We started the night bowling and having some snacks, then we moved to the bar and basically had a night out."

Also of note: Server Danielle definitely isn't a Stanley Cup champion, but she did make off with an obligatory $24,869.80 tip, which clearly makes her a winner.

For a little help visualizing this bar tab fit for a king, here's an infographic showing every beverage appearing on the receipt, courtesy of sixteenwins.com.

This is blown so far out of proportion: lets do some math. First remove 100k for the 1 bottle (it was a gift). Then divide the remaing 56k by 3: its at a casino, Jagar bombs were $15 a piece for christ sake, bring it back to normal prices. So then you have only 18k. There had to be about 50 people in on this. 18k divided by 50, $360 bucks per head at a normal bar. I've had a $300 bar tab before and it was on a Wednesday!

How could Captain Morgan possibly cost that much?

Bottle service is something of a gigantic markup. Friend of a friend treated us to a private room once. Craziness.

they were charging 10 bucks for drinks, which if you assume one shot in a drink gives a gross profit of about $390 per handle, so i could see them charging $300 bucks for a handle at a VIP night club like this.

Oh wait . . . I see it now! It's such a small quantity compared to everything else haha. I hear tequila makes some people angry. Given the riots that day I don't think they needed to have someone get out of hand while celebrating haha.

Talk about overpriced booze at Foxwood Casino, The Indians do know how to over charge for firewater. Why not party in Boston it would have been cheaper and more fun.

Far cheaper than Vancouver's clean up bill.

In defense of this trainwreck, the charges for some of the drinks and bottles is OBNOXIOUS! This is more bad publicity for Foxwoods than the Bruins.

Wish I was there.
