The Tampa Bay Lightning will meet the Florida Panthers for the first time in the playoffs

The NHL would be stupid to not market this and try and grow the brand in the Southeast. So naturally we won’t hear a peep about it and will only see Canadian teams and other traditional markets.

Hard to market a rivalry when you aren’t willing to fill up an arena. It’s been tough watching basketball in these stale environments.

It will be just like when the Storm and Predators met in Arenabowls

Um..Tampa has a huge following.

And their stadium still gets taken over by the northern fan bases
But the Panthers is even worse
TB would probably take over down in Miami if we could have 100% crowds

They tailgate outside Tampa yeah

It’s way easier to just let TB continue their thing as a pride of the Bay Area and ship the Panthers off to Quebec City or Hamilton

Tampa has a huge following im West Central FL. They are also the defending Cup Champions. The Panthers OTOH....

Nothing like NHL playoffs in FL when it’s practically summer...

The issue for anyone who knows the layout of south Florida is that the panthers play like 45 minutes north of Miami. It’s not easily accessible.

Huizenga did the franchise no favors going out to Sunrise. Hockey arenas are meant to be downtown but that was the era of putting parks out in the suburbs, they wanted to be more of a Lauderdale/Palm Beach team. Being terrible for 25 years also hasn’t helped.

The Florida Panthers are the most forgettable franchise in professional American sports.
