Florida Panthers blocked from travelling to Edmonton by air traffic control

The Florida Panthers are reportedly unable to travel to Edmonton due to a massive storm.

In South Florida, a rainstorm has forced airports to cancel most flights, including the Panthers':

"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."







At the last minute, the Panthers were forced to change their travel plans:

"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 Panthers were set to leave Florida by plane at 1 pm, but as of now, they still haven't left and won't get to Edmonton until 8 pm local time.

It could even be much later, according to reporter Tim Reynolds:

"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."



Do you think the Florida Panthers' performances in Game 3 will be affected by the change in their travel plans to Edmonton?

Further reports are expected. Stay tuned.
