Florida is an embarrassment to the league, the fact that you can't give away tickets to a playoff game means they should pick up and move them to a real market.

How many #1 overall picks does a team need just so they can MAKE the playoffs??

All that talent and you still haven't made the playoffs in the last decade.

since the 2007 draft 4 #1's, 4 other top 10 picks and 4 more 1st rounders.

I think that qualifies as an embarrassment

I think your 'cancelling Christmas' quote is made up. It just sounds like something you'd want someone to say.

Yup. Still waiting on their pending dominating the Western conference, three years running.

Look at all the Panther fans with their puffed up chests!
In the history of your franchise... how many times have you made the playoffs?
Telling an Oiler fan they are irrelevant... this is the first year in MANY that the Panthers were even reported on outside of Miami. (... and even there it was dicey)

I love that TSN and Sportsnet... who have direct lines to ACTUAL sources in the league and BOG are reporting that there is absolute silence coming out of the meetings... But you EK... YOU they are calling. AMAZING.

You do know that transfer payments from US-based teams kept the Oilers alive for over a decade, right?

Carolina's lease makes it impossible to move the team. It would be like paying three times as much for them.

So the franchise value goes from 50 cents to $1.50? I can cover that.
