Philip Pritchard, the “Keeper of the Cup” whose job is to safeguard the massive trophy as each victorious player gets temporary custody before next season, shared a photo of the group happily posing with the prize.
“Hanging out in Georgetown with Ivanka,” he captioned the shot on social media.
However, a group of hockey fans were quick to come down from their Stanley Cup excitement after the meeting with PresidentDonald Trump‘s eldest daughter — and some joked about the couple’s friendliness with Ovechkin, who is Russian.
“Kushner and Ivanka getting chummy with a Russian? What else is new?” wrote one Twitter user.
Others made it clear that while they were hockey fans, they weren’t thrilled about the current administration.
“Just went and ruined my Stanley Cup high with that pic,” wrote one Twitter user.
Another said, “I am just going to pretend I did not just see a photo ofIvanka Trumptouching the Stanley Cup.”
