Fare thee well, Spacey in Space.

The Florida Panthers have a new post-game tradition, as modeled Monday by goaltender Roberto Luongo.

The cape appears to be the brainchild of Shawn Thornton, who's not divulging its origins or significance.

"You’re not getting anything out of me," Thornton told George Richards of the Miami Herald. "Nope. Not saying anything."

Much like last season's famous sweater, the "Vinnie's Barber Shop" cape will be handed to the player of the game as determined by his teammates.
