A member of the Florida Panthers sent a message to the Detroit Red Wings after winning the Stanley Cup.
Tomas Nosek, who lifted the Cup on Tuesday night following the Panthers' 4-2 series win over the Edmonton Oilers, took a moment to speak directly to fans in Michigan.
Nosek spent time in the Detroit Red Wings organization between 2014 and 2017, and had a message for the fans after winning the Stanley Cup.
Here's what he had to say:
«Hi Griffins fans, this is Calder Cup and Stanley Cup champion Tomas Nosek. Uh, I miss you and I love you. I just want to say everything started in Grand Rapids for me. So every time, I'll be forever grateful for that city. I miss you guys. Love you. Bye.»

The 32-year-old becomes the first player ever to win both a Calder Cup with the Griffins and a Stanley Cup with another team. Back in 2017, Nosek led the Griffins with 10 goals and 22 points in the Cup run.
Now, in his 10th NHL season, the Czech forward continues to build an impressive legacy. In this year's playoffs, Nosek recorded three assists, four penalty minutes, and a +4 rating over 16 games. He also tallied nine points during the regular season.
Nosek is set to hit free agency in 10 days. With Bill Zito mentioning in an interview how he would try to bring all their free agents back, it's safe to say that Nosek could remain with the Panthers for another season, at least.
However, Zito could also decide to prioritize signing Sam Bennett, Brad Marchand, and Aaron Ekblad over a depth player like Nosek.
Stay tuned for further developments regarding former Red Wings player Tomas Nosek and the Florida Panthers.
