It’s tradition that every member of a Stanley Cup winning organization gets 24 hours with the Cup. Most guys drink a beer out of it or parade it around their hometown. Florida Panthers General Manager Bill Zito is not most people.
Today was Zito’s Cup day, and he made one of the most memorable moments we’ve ever seen, by bringing Lord Stanley to the Theater of the Sea in Islamorada, Florida. During the adventure to the Keys, the Florida Panthers posted clips on social media showcasing Dolphins jumping around the Cup, and even a Sea Lion eating fish out of it.
The Stanley Cup has been on a wild adventure with the two time champ Florida Panthers. Star Winger Brad Marchand stuffed a few “LabuBus” inside it, AJ Greer paraded it through his hometown of Joliette, Quebec, and Matthew Tkachuk even took the cup “behind bars” at the local jail. The greatest trip of all came when former equipment manager Scott Tinkler paraded the Cup around the Hallandale Flanagins.
What’s the next stop on the Florida Panthers wild escapade with Lord Stanley? Only time will tell, but we will all be watching.
Before I end this, I’d like to leave everyone with this tweet. Have a good night!
