Florida Panthers Coach Takes Stanley Cup to Local Parkland Schools
The cup continues its offseason tour
Just ten weeks after the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, the iconic trophy made it to Parkland, FL, on Friday. The hallowed Stanley Cup first went to Westglades Middle School which is located right behind Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Students were able to take selfies and enjoy the opportunity of seeing the Stanley Cup in person. It was an exciting moment for all Panthers fans, students, and staff. The magical day was coordinated by Florida Panthers Goaltender Coach Rob Tallas.
Stanley Cup Goes to Parkland Schools
Florida Panthers Goaltender Coach Rob Tallas took the Stanley Cup to Parkland on Friday for all the students and staff at WestGlades Middle and Marjory Stoneman Douglas to see. According to Broward County Public schools Superintendent Dr. Howard Hepburn, “This is so special, a great opportunity for our kids to come and actually see the Stanley Cup and take pictures.”
The Stanley Cup is one of the hardest trophies in all of sports to win. When a team gets to the playoffs in the NHL, it plays a best-of-seven series and then has to survive three rounds of the samee before even making it to the Stanley Cup Final round. The Florida Panthers waited 30 years to win their first Cup in franchise history. Fans all around South Florida have also waited for this iconic moment, making it even more exceptional for Panther fans.
The Florida Panthers are coming to a summer close with their tour of the Stanley Cup. Later this month, the Panthers will start training camp with all their prospects and rookies. The first preseason game for the Panthers is September 22 against the Nashville Predators at Amerant Bank Arena. The Panthers will play four pre-season game before making roster adjustments for the start of the NHL season on October 2.
October 2 will kick off the new NHL season where the Florida Panthers will try to defend their title as champions. The Pittsburgh Penguins is another team that has won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, while the last team to win back-to-back Cups is the Tampa Bay Lightning, winning in 2020 and 2021. Of course, the Panthers are hoping to win back-to-back Cups as well, and maybe even build a dynasty.
The Panthers participate in a healthy cross-state rivalry with Tampa Bay in what is affectionately called the ‘Alligator Alley’ series. In fact, 2024 was the first time that the Panthers ever beat their nemesis Tampa Bay in a playoff series. In the words of Michael Russo for the N.Y. Times, the Panthers slayed the dragon in 2024. Which Florida team will have the upper hand this time around?

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
