The Stanley Cup is back in South Florida.
After spending some time in Quebec with A.J. Greer and Roberto Luongo once it was engraved with the names of the 2025-26 Florida Panthers, the Stanley Cup made the trip back to Broward County this week for some fun in the sun.
On Wednesday, longtime Panthers equipment manager Scott Tinkler took his turn with the historic trophy.
Tinkler, who has been with the Panthers since their first season all the way back in 1993, did one of the most South Florida things you could do with the Stanley Cup.
He brought it to Flanigan's.
According to a video posted by Flanigan's on social media, and photos posted by @maimiguydylan on X, the Cup was filled with several of the restaurantâs staple items.
Weâre talking chicken wings, the banzai brownie dessert and, of course, Flanigan's famous rib rolls.
While there have been plenty of exotic and memorable Panthersâ Stanley Cup days over the past year-plus, this is one of the more localized ones.
Flanigan's has been staple in South Florida since opening in the 1950s.
The image of Joe âBig Daddyâ Flanigan on the eateryâs large, green plastic cups are famously seen all over the region, from parties on the boats and the beach to random kitchen cabinets, and even in the Amerant Bank Arena press box during Panthers games.
If youâre from South Florida and donât have a Flanigan's cup somewhere in your home, you might be one of the only ones.
And that being the case, close your computer or put down your phone right now and drive to the nearest Flanigan's.
You wonât be sorry, and hey, you might run into the Stanley Cup while youâre there!
