Why didn't Gary Bettman hand out the Stanley Cup this year?

One annual occupant was missing from this year's Stanley Cup celebration.

Gary Bettman's right-hand man, Bill Daly, was the one who presented the trophy to Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog.

Why not Bettman? The fans missed their chance to shower him with boos.

It turns out that the NHL commissioner wasn't even allowed to enter Amalie Arena in Tampa because he tested positive for COVID-19 and had to isolate himself.

This was the first time since 1993 that it wasn't Bettman who presented the Stanley Cup to the winning team.
