Bad news for Kyle Okposo as his day with the Stanley Cup gets cancelled
After nearly 20 years of waiting to win the Stanley Cup, Kyle Okposo won't get his day with the trophy due to a heartbreaking announcement from Matthew Tkachuk.
Throughout his career with the New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres, Okposo never made it far in the Stanley Cup playoffs. That changed in the 2023-24 season when he was traded to the Florida Panthers and played a key role in their first Stanley Cup win.
However, Okposo's long-awaited day with the Stanley Cup was canceled due to a global IT outage affecting airlines, which delayed the Cup's arrival from St. Louis, where it was last with Matthew Tkachuk.
