Bobrovsky gets a day off from practice, Perry not done yet and the Cup will be on the move again

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — On the next-to-last day of the NHL season, Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky wasn’t on the ice for practice. Bobrovsky was a serious Conn Smythe Award candidate at one point in this Stanley Cup Final that ends with Game 7 on Monday night, with Florida winning the first three games and Edmonton basically rendered silent by the Panthers’ goaltender. “I just love playing, so we’ll see where it goes.. I’m going to keep playing until they cut my skates off.” Only Tarasenko Florida forward Vladimir Tarasenko is the only player on either team who has played in a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final. The Cup’s Schedule The NHL says that if Edmonton wins Game 7, the Stanley Cup — along with “Keeper of the Cup” Phil Pritchard and his Hockey Hall of Fame colleague Craig Campbell — will fly back to Alberta with the Oilers after the game for celebrations. And neither coach has lost a Game 7 — Florida’s Paul Maurice is 4-0, Edmonton’s Kris Knoblauch is 1-0 after the Oilers ousted Vancouver on the road in Round 2 last month.
