PHOTOS: Blackhawks' Teravainen, Timonen bring Stanley Cup home to Finland
Chicago Blackhawks forward Teuvo Teravainen and soon-to-be-retired defenseman Kimmo Timonen returned to Finland this week with some unique luggage.
The Finnish duo brought the Stanley Cup to their homeland.
Here's the trophy clearing U.S. customs with a rather obedient officer on Sunday night.
