Panthers veteran Kyle Okposo has day with Stanley Cup cancelled
Spending a personal day with the Stanley Cup is one of the best parts of becoming a champion, and veteran Kyle Okposo will be sorely missing out this year.
Okposo had a goal to celebrate his Stanley Cup Win with local fans in his hometown of Minnetonka, but due to an significant global IT outage, the Stanley Cup is currently stuck in St. Louis.
It has to be CANCELLED due to the Stanley Cup being stuck in St. Louis because of the global IT outage affecting airlines.
«I'm crushed,» a very disappointed Okposo tells me. They're currently trying to figure out how to get the Cup here so Okposo can still have some semblance of his day with the Cup.

Okposo was one of the longest serving veterans in the league that had yet to win a Stanley Cup, playing 1050 games in his career, so plenty of fans were cheering for him to win this year. It's heartbreaking to hear that his personal day with the Stanley Cup will be cancelled, and not just postponed. For such superseding circumstances, the NHL needs to find a day to allow Okposo to make up his time with the Stanley Cup.
