On Thursday, July 17, fans in Broward County were treated to the sight of the Stanley Cup at the Hallandale Beach location of the beloved seafood bar and grill chain. Nearly a month ago, the Panthers clinched the title for the second year in a row. Since then, the Panthers have been parading the Stanley Cup around in true SoFlo fashion across Fort Lauderdale and Miami, but this moment might just be their most legendary stop yet.
In a series of now-viral videos and photos posted to X and Instagram, fans can see the Stanley Cup overflowing with glistening, golden-brown wings on a dining room table — truly filled to the brim with them. X user @MiamiGuyDylan shared a photo of the sight with the caption, "We have Flanigan's wings in the Cup!" which has already received hilarious responses. One guy responded, "What dreams are made of." Flanigan's then reshared the photo, with the caption, "Another South Florida win."

The Stanley Cup Makes for a Great Table
But the epicness didn't stop there. In what can only be described as peak Florida, another video shared by Flanigan's shows the Stanley Cup being used as a makeshift table for dunking legendary Joe's Rockin' Rib Rolls directly into ranch dressing.Two Flanigan's employees are featured in the video, completely in heaven and as nonchalant as ever, as they munch down on the rib rolls like the legendary Stanley Cup trophy isn't exactly underneath them.

Flanigan's Manifested This Moment
What's even more hilarious is that Flanigan's actually manifested this entire thing. On June 18, 2025, Flanigan's posted on X, "Who do we have to bribe in Rib Rolls to get the Stanley Cup to Flanigan's this time?" This was even before the Panthers won the Stanley Cup. Therefore, this was truly a manifestation at its finest.Thursday may have marked a new milestone in the Florida sports-food canon. This wasn't just a celebration of back-to-back championships; it was a full-on Flanigan's fever dream brought to life. Two legendary cups. One Hallandale location. Endless wings.Manifesting this... pic.twitter.com/ZTggrwI3Gd

And now we know who to thank for this epic day. According to Flanigan's, longtime Florida Panthers equipment manager and Flanigan's regular for over 30 years, Scott Tinkler, is the man behind the saucy plan. "We were beyond excited to raise a cup with Scott and celebrate this legendary moment the only way we know how — Flanigan's style," wrote the restaurant in an Instagram post.
We'd like to personally shake Scott's sauce-covered hand.
