I actually found this article to be pretty good. It's different from most things on Bleacher Report that are just meant to generate hits. It was frustrating reading some of the comments, though. I'll never understand why so many people hate hockey in Florida.

I understand how people in Quebec, Seattle and other markets that had/want a team would dislike South Florida and call for relocation, but it literally feels like fans of the other 29 teams as well as cities that don't have teams hate us and the Panthers. The hockey world is against this team...
