And more...Bringing a ray of sunshine into the cold hockey rink, the Florida Panthers belong to the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The team based in Sunrise, Florida holds one of the worst records in the history of NHL. The team was originally owned by H. Wayne Huizenga of Blockbuster Video on December 1992. Eventually, Huizenga called the services of Bobby Clarke to be the general manager. Clarke was then the Senior Vice President of Philadelphia Flyers. It was in 1993 when the Panthers officially joined the NHL draft in Quebec City. The Panthers saw action at the Miami Arena during their home games. During the 1993-94 season, they had to share the building with the Miami Heat. The Florida Panthers saw a number of major stars in their squad. Among them were goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck from the New York Rangers and rookie Rob Niedermayer. Scott Mellanby was also able to contribute 30 goals during the initial season. The said season was considered a success for the Florida-based hockey team, thanks to the trap defense implemented by Roger Neilson, their first coach. This, however, was criticized by most NHL teams as it was too conservative, they say, for the game of ice hockey. It was in 1996 when the Florida Panthers made their way to the playoffs after finishing fourth. The team had to face the Boston Bruins and eventually won in five games. Among the most remarkable and unforgettable moments that time was Bill Lindsay's goal that sealed the series for the Panthers. They won over Philadelphia Flyers, the number one during that season and the Pittsburgh Penguins were the next to be knocked out. Though the Panthers lost the Stanley Cup Final to the Colorado Avalanche, their never-say-die attitude and run was enough to prove that they have what it takes.
