Fans unhappy with Avalanche reporter for celebrating with Stanley Cup

The Colorado Avalanche are Stanley Cup champions for the first time since 2001, and the celebrations are in full swing for the players, their families and friends, and... team reporters?

Longtime Avalanche beat reporter Mike Chambers of the Denver Post shared photos of his own celebrations with the Cup on Twitter on Monday.

Chambers posed with the Cup over his head with a cigar in his mouth and a stained button-up shirt, before getting a picture with Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog and the trophy.

Many fans and fellow media members took exception to Chambers' celebrations, reminding the reporter of the impartiality and objectivity that the press are traditionally expected to adhere to.
