Cuba Gooding Jr. had himself a grand old time at Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals and was on hand in the locker room to celebrate the Penguins 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks to clinch the Cup. With their light beers raised, the Penguins sang Queen's "We Are The Champions" and Cuba was right there singing along as he gripped the Stanley Cup and filmed it all. His face at the end of the clip is the picture of intensity.

Earlier in the day, Gooding was on NBCSN's pre-game coverage with Jeremy Roenick and forgot he was on live television for a brief (fucking) moment. Roenick asked him what he thought the Sharks needed to do to keep the series alive and force a Game 7 in Pittsburgh. Gooding's response was "Well, you know what they do, they gotta fuckin' bring it to them." He then realized he just dropped an F-bomb on live TV and laughed at himself before further breaking down San Jose's keys to the game. He then segued into a brief remembrance of the late Gordie Howe before firing up the crowd and literally lifting a female Sharks fan off her feet.

Cuba has a habit of being incredibly intense at hockey games. Back in September 2014, he participated in a celebrity shoot-the-puck competition during intermission at a Blackhawks game, and won when he made the shot on his third and final attempt. Gooding proceeded to rip off his jacket and shirt, and strut around, topless, on the ice.
