I thought Tampa's Cup passing was classy.
Teams conventionally pass it by pecking-order, with the star players getting it first, with a couple long-tenured veterans mixed in. By the time the Cup gets to the role players and rookies half the team has skated away. That never sat well with me.
It looks like Tampa deliberately threw that out the window, as role players and even some guys who weren't dressed were among the first to be handed the Cup, and some star players among the last. Along with having the whole team gather around the Bettman Cup hand-off, it showed a team-first approach.
