By all accounts, the Florida Panthers are enjoying a solid season. They rest atop the Atlantic Division and have aspirations of reaching the Stanley Cup final for just the second time in franchise history.

As for a Super Bowl appearance? Well, that's setting the bar extremely high for an NHL club ... although one Canadian television newscast seemed to think it was plausible.

Le Telejournal mistakenly displayed the logo of the NHL's Panthers as opposed to the NFL's version - you know, the one for Cam Newton's Carolina Panthers - in its Super Bowl 50 coverage.

Whoops. Canadian TV uses wrong #Panthers logo - sends NHL team to #SB50 https://t.co/quwO4yo5ob (Hey, we all make mistakes)

If you think Jaromir Jagr was hesitant to play 3-on-3 hockey in the NHL's All-Star Game, imagine how the 43-year-old would feel facing the Denver Broncos' aggressive defense.

.@Panthers we'll let you guys handle this. #KeepPounding

Give us a call if the field freezes, though. Ice is kind of our thing. ?
