Not really a fan.. more of a convenient fair weather spectator although we hit up a Panther game or 2/yr. For me, it's a tough sport to follow on TV vs being there and the Panthers generally suck so why bother. My rooting interest is more in consideration for my Canadian sweetie who grew up in Winnipeg rooting for the Jets and then later for the Canucks and her family who are mostly up in BC. (eh?) At one point in the distant past, due to a connection to an inlaw who was connected to someone on the team, I did root more actively for the Islanders though
