It's Time for... Better Know An Even More Obscure Sports Team!

Today we'll be covering...

 

The Florida Panthers! 

Yeah, in case you didn't know- there's a hockey team in Florida called the Panthers. I dont' know why they exist. I'm gonna try to do this with no research- let's see how it goes.

I can't name a playe on this team. Ever. Then again, they could've been an expansion team this year and I'd have believed it. I just saw the Boston Bruins play them why I was eating my buffalo chicken chowder bread bowl at the Souper Bowl the otehr night. I've heard of the Tampa Bay Lightning, they won it all a few years back with St. Louis, LeCavalier, and that goalie, Nikolai Havi... Habby, Habi... Holly.. Halibubu? Habubooblin? Habibubu... What? It starts with a K? Screw it I'm looking it up. (Khabibulin).

Holy crap, this team's been around since '93. They're based in Miami (like the Florida Marlins) and are owned by Wayne Huizenga of Miami Dolphins ownership. Their organization includes two hall-of-famers, their first head coach and first GM/president.

Ok, so the Florida Panthers are not interesting or publicized- at all. I guess this is why I (or you) have ever heard of them and is the reason the NHL neeeds less teams.

 Note: Remember that one guy that got his jugular slashed open with a skate and then ran off the ice while leaving a trail of blood. Yeah, he played for the Panthers.
