Dont forget the rest of the guys the Islanders bailed on like Chara, Redden and others.

We can't forget Spezza. Ha ha ha remember when they traded Chara and the pick that became Spezza for Yashin?

However if a funny twitter account is 50% of the criteria for jersey retirements in Miami, then it is a no brainer.

You lost this argument by a land slide to Cali Panther Fan. Lou 100% deserves this for what he did in both stints in Florida.

If he would have played 10 playoff games they would have built this statue in front of the arena!


If he would have played 15 playoff games they would have named a gated community after him! Strombone Gate!

Yeah landslide... most of the accomplishments that he noted, was when he wasn't a Panther... hahaha

Luongo's lack of playoff games in Florida have nothing to do about his contributions to the team. The team completely sucked for the last 20 years.

Over/Under on actual real attendance for the Panthers game where they raised Luongo's jersey? 10,000?

They usually get 16-19k for Canadians games. So this will be that plus likely thousands of panthers fans wanting this game above most others this season.

So with an almost guaranteed sell out I'll take the over.

Didn't read the against the Habs part. I suppose the attendance will be much better than a Coyotes game...
