Big storm puts game three in jeopardy as the Panthers are stuck in Florida
The third game of the Stanley Cup Finals could be in jeopardy as the Panthers can't travel to Edmonton due to a big storm in Florida.
A major rainstorm in Florida is causing headaches for people who want to travel by plane, as nearly every flight has been canceled by airports:
"Panthers fans trying to get to Edmonton are having a tough time this morning.
There are almost no planes being allowed to fly north or west from South Florida due to storms and FAA routing."

The Florida Panthers must change their traveling arrangements to Edmonton at the last minute due to a big rainstorm.
The Panthers organization was set on leaving Florida at 1 pm, but with the current weather conditions, they were forced to change everything.
"Panthers' flight out of Florida has been delayed due to the massive rainstorm. They still plan to arrive tonight, just not sure how long the delay will be. #NHL"
The latest reports suggest that they won't be able to leave until at least 4 pm, which could affect their performance in game three.
"The Panthers cannot get to Edmonton until at least 8 pm local time tonight -- and probably much later. Ground stop in Fort Lauderdale until at least 4 pm."
Updates will follow.
