But December 23 is Festivus, and one of the celebrations for Festivus is the Airing of Grievances. With the Florida Panthers, there is never a shortage of grievances to air, and as the great George Costanza put it, “I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re going to hear about it!”
In celebration of the holiday (albeit a little late), here is a grievance to air with the Florida Panthers: why are they seemingly incapable of being anything other than average?
To be fair, there are plenty of times when they’ve been far below average in every department, but most of Panthers history has been of a team in the messy middle: not bad enough to get franchise-changing players and not good enough to make the postseason.
