CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada and the NHLPA conducted a poll of 300+ NHL players. Many interesting questions were asked, and many of the posted results are relevant to the Florida Panthers. While not all of the data is posted, the top 5 answers are. LBC collected the relevant data and posted it for your viewing pleasure.
What team would you least like to play on? Florida Panthers: 2% (5th)
What rink has the worst ice? Bank Atlantic Center: 20% (1st)
Which rink has the worst boards/glass? Bank Atlantic Center: 5% (5th)
Despite the turnaround by ownership, management and the players this poll shows that there is still much work to do and a lot of the minds of the players that need to be changed for Florida to become an elite organization.
