The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers are spending nearly as much time flying as they are playing games during the Stanley Cup Final between the two farthest apart teams in NHL history. With that comes the need to pass the time while in the air for six-plus hours each way across North America.

“It’s different, but both are intense,” said center Kevin Stenlund, who plays Seven Up. “It’s a lot of cards, but it definitely helps.” “Those poker games on the plane were always my favorite thing,” said Dubnyk, who’s now an NHL Network analyst. “I could play for hours and hours and hours. We still played cards, just different games. But I was at the card table and I would rather be just chatting with the boys and playing cards than watching movies.”“There’s a couple good guys: Gustav’s pretty good, and Ekky thinks he’s pretty good,” Verhaeghe said, referencing defensemen Gustav Forsling and Aaron Ekblad.
Clark brings resistance bands on flights — many of them much longer than the 2,549-mile journey between Edmonton and Fort Lauderdale — and recommends basic mobility routines. Aka, poker games need intermissions, too.
