Two Miami-metro teams pulled off 8-1 upsets

The Miami Heat, an eighth seed, knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Florida Panthers, an eighth seed, knocked off the Boston Bruins.

Miami has a bit of reputation as a very bandwagon sports city so I’m sure lots of people that didn’t catch a game of either team all year are very excited about this bit of history.

The atmosphere at FLA Live Arena in Game 6 was unreal. Best environment I've been in, right up there with the Dallas Winter Classic.

Honestly never thought I'd experience that kind of atmosphere for the Panthers, but wow. The regular season games can be pretty dull, but the fans absolutely show up for playoff games.

The Heat are always a huge draw. Much easier to access arena and more popular across the whole city. Exciting times for both teams to be doing so well. The Dolphins and Marlins are trending up, too.
