«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.
