The usual joke when it came to a Stanley Cup parade route for the Florida Panthers was that it would go around the Sawgrass Mills shopping center and end at one of two food courts.
Maybe have some duck boats sail around the detention ponds along Panther Parkway.
Of course, the idea of the Panthers winning the Stanley Cup was as big a joke as planning a parade for them.
Now it’s reality.
The Panthers are one win away from winning the Stanley Cup for the first time and a championship parade is quietly in the works, as it takes time to plan for these types of things.
The location of said parade is kept secret, since no one wants to curse anything.
But there are several places that could host such an event.
The Miami Heat, Florida Marlins and Miami Hurricanes have held championship parades through downtown Miami in the past.

Other than bringing the Cup to South Beach for a night on the town and perhaps a rally somewhere in Florida’s largest county, don’t expect the Panthers to do anything of note south of County Line Road.
Most celebrations will take place within the boundaries of Broward County.
The obvious choice for a Stanley Cup parade is through Fort Lauderdale, and you can bet your money on one that will take place near or over the water.
In 2003, the Marlins celebrated their World Series victory over the Yankees with a boat parade along the Intracoastal after their street parade in Miami.
The Panthers had preliminary plans to hold a beachside parade in Fort Lauderdale last year; Those plans have probably been taken out of a filing cabinet and dusted off.
Las Olas Boulevard would be a popular and picturesque location for a parade, and a perfect spot for television cameras as the players jump out of their vehicles and rush to the Elbo Room for an “impromptu” toast.
If the Panthers win on Saturday, the team could also hold a rally at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise on Tuesday, as it is already staffed for Game 5 against the Oilers that night.
In 1996, after losing to the Colorado Avalanche in the finals, the team opened the Miami Arena to celebrate the season.
If the Panthers opened the stadium gates Tuesday night to kick off a week of celebration, their fans could drive down Blue Dolphin or Green Toad Way and hold their own parade through the mall property.
See you at Marshalls.
They sell pots and pans there, you know?
