Why are you guys knocking the Panthers fan for being a fan? Its not his/her fault they'd rather be here...



Lets looks at that Winipeg weather forcast.

Ouch still winter.
- Buffalo--Sabres

Soo.. what is Buffalo's excuse then?

Yeah expansion is the key........ The league has 4 anchors now in Tampa, Miami, Columbus, & Arizona that draw flies, so yeah I can see where the league should add and not contract or relocate...

Florida Panthers, hockey limbo. Where players go to end their career.

It's that or win a draft lottery

Oh no theres nothing to do here either. Thats why I went to the game last night and going tommorow. Thats why the tickets sell.

Debatable

the nhl doesn't need 32 teams. there's already too many teams as is. flordia has nearly a third the amount of teams as canada. figure that out?

NHL needs no more than 28 teams.

Go watch a Marlins or Panther game, they can start it as soon as you can show up.

Ducks suck!!
- Deadmau55

Yeah, but you got sloppy seconds on the Cup. How does it taste?

They are nice like that. But no one likes the Marlins here.

You won it first. We won it better.

Here's a fun fact: The pens were in danger of folding. Twice.

Third times the charm?

Edit: more then two times. What a (frank)ing joke.

Not all teams can have solid ownership and make as much money as the Kings and Panthers.

Oh wait....

"NHL lockout? It wouldn't help the LA Kings' already iffy finances.
Losing money is nothing new for the Kings. Back in 2003, the L.A. Times reported on an unusual audit that a season ticket holder was able to undertake. In that article, the Times said that the Kings were on track to have lost well over $100 million dollars since the Anschutz purchase in 1995. And the piece countered the suspicion that the Kings' history of losses was a type of tax shelter. It seems that the team has usually lost money just because...it's lost money."

Again, you must not watch much hockey or even be a true fan. Souray is 3rd in the league in +/- @ +26 7-9=16 points and ATOI of 21:03. Still got game. Let me know if you don't understand what I just said and I can explain it to you.

you guys seriously sound like a bunch of girls.

Its still his last contract.

And you're the masculine voice of reason.

I think you're trying too hard on this.
- FloRidaCats

Why do you object to trying again in familiar locations?

Surely, as a panthers fan, you're aware that lots of people don't think the panthers franchise belongs in the NHL. I would think you'd be more charitable of other small-market or fringe franchises.

Care to explain your reasoning?

32 teams.
- tomburton99

"Create stability through expansion" as Ek says.

I don't even know what that means. Half a dozen teams are on life support, another half dozen are precariously close at any given time, and MAYBE half the teams in the league are breaking even/profitable.

I'd sooner go to 28 than 32.

And yet... We still aren't anywhere to being as close to a joke of a franchise as the pens. Three times they were gona fold! Three!! What a (frank)ing joke!!!
