Doob, you have to realize that the Penguins were in a similar situation years ago - you should be thankful that Mario came along and saved the team - if it wasn't for him, Pittsburgh wouldn't have had a team anymore

Don't forget, Mario shopped them to Kansas City, Houston, OKC and Hamilton before squeezing season ticket sales and getting backing from the Casino people to get the arena deal done and keep the team in Pittsburgh.

As I recall, tax money to build the arena failed until the Casino developer stepped in.

But I am sure the doobster tried.

There are passionate fans in every fan base - I want to see the Panthers do well because I think it would be great for the league to see a consistently good Panthers team and have fans come see these guys play - it's a nice city, it should be a good place for people to come 24/7 365 when it comes to nice weather and amenities - imagine if the Panthers can get a really nice player or two in the next two drafts or so + they go out and sign some FA's and swing some deals like they've said they do + the development of young guys like Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Nick Bjugstad - this team can be good

Don't sleep on them and shut them out - it's not fair and if anyone should know it's you

EDIT: Look at Tampa Bay, they have a good team and the fans come to games in Tampa every night - if the Panthers start getting a good team I think the same thing will happen in Sunrise

Who will be Mario for the Panthers? Is there anyone with enough passion to keep the Panthers in Sunrise and lose millions in the process? If anyone is willing to do this then more power to them. I don't see it tho.

Right, because that's all it took. Mario didn't make any sacrifices along the way. Doobster did his part as well.

The first line is one of my favorite lines ever. What happened Doobster? Were you not getting enough attention so you decided to be an abrasive idiot to get more?

Sorry The Doobster and this board. This was uncalled for. I don't want to use it as as an excuse but I was not drinking then. Won't happen again.

Comeds sorry.

It's okay, Comeds. We're used to you being an asshole. Oh wait, nevermind, I'm thinking of myself. ;)

I have been having so much trouble coming up with a snazzy nickname that will take the basic condescension of speaking of myself in the third person and elevate it to a level of douchiness that makes P Diddy seem like an okay guy.

All I can come up with is "The Fortylizer".

The Elocutioner prefers C. Omeds.

I think we all learned a little something today about the dangers of speaking in 3rd person... and a little about dinosaurs.

As long as you start referring to yourself as Der Puckenstein.

The Elocutioner prefers C. Omeds.

Now you just need to give yourself the additional titles of Judge and Jury
