There is no doubt that this decision by the Florida Panthers will create controversy and mixed reactions from hockey fans. Restricting ticket sales to U.S. residents only is an unusual and perhaps ethically questionable decision. However, it is important to note that sports organizations have the right to restrict ticket sales to certain individuals or groups based on their own policies and regulations. The reasons behind this specific decision may be related to security, logistical or even public relations considerations. It remains to be seen how Maple Leafs fans will react to this announcement and if they will find ways around this restriction to attend live games in Florida. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN1200/status/1652995391757991937'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SO_Lorange/status/1653029460172582913'> </a></blockquote></div>
