Kyle Okposo, one of the longest-serving veterans in the league who had yet to win a Stanley Cup, has played 1,050 games in his career. His victory this year was met with great enthusiasm from fans, making the cancellation of his personal day with the Stanley Cup all the more heartbreaking. Given the extraordinary circumstances, there is a growing sentiment that the NHL should arrange an alternative date for Okposo to enjoy his well-deserved time with the Cup.
