«I'm crushed,» a very disappointed Okposo tells me.
The incident that has led to him losing his day with the Cup is due to the global IT outing, stranding the iconic trophy in St. Louis with superstar forward Matthew Tkachuk, with the veteran forward devastated over the latest development. The silver lining in this situation remains that Okposo's name is now finally on the Cup after he was drafted back in 2006, ending his career on a high.
It's unclear at this point whether or not the team have the flexibility to allow him a separate day with the Cup, and given how important it is, it would be a great move to allow Okposo the opportunity.
