Jonathan Huberdeau breaks silence after watching former teammates win the Cup
For the Florida Panthers, winning the Stanley Cup was a dream come true and a reward for years of hard work.
However, for Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau, it felt like a punch in the gut. Huberdeau spent most of his NHL career with the Florida Panthers, the team that drafted him 3rd overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Despite enduring the team's tough times, he wasn't there to enjoy their ultimate success.
Instead, Huberdeau has struggled with the Flames while watching his former team achieve great success without him. The Panthers made a Stanley Cup Final appearance and then won the Stanley Cup the following year. Huberdeau admits it hasn't been easy to watch.
It must have been tough for Huberdeau to see the faces he worked with for so many years achieve their goal without him. Despite this, Huberdeau showed great class by expressing happiness for his former teammates.
What made watching the Panthers win most difficult for Huberdeau might be his age and the direction the Flames are currently moving in.
