Like every other team in the NHL, the Florida Panthers (who are on a seven-game winning streak and currently leading the Atlantic Division) give out a special award to the MVP of each game.

Usually, it’s something that represents hard work, dedication and commitment, like a hard hat or a WWE Championship belt. Recently, the Panthers started handing out the weirdest item I’ve ever seen to the game’s best player, a royal-blue hoodie that has a picture of Kevin Spacey’s head floating in space on it.

Yeah, that’s super bizarre. Apparently, these are all the rage all over the internet. Who knew.

So why a hoodie with Kevin Spacey’s face on it? George Richards of the Miami Herald dug into the mystery only to be stonewalled at every turn by the players.

No one will say, although everyone I ask laughs when it’s brought up.

Barkov, who wore it after Tuesday’s 3-1 win over the Canadiens, said he “had no idea” what it meant.

I asked Roberto Luongo and a few others, with them all steering me to Erik Gudbranson. “No way man,” he said. When I told him I would figure it out, he said “no you won’t.”

The only person outside the locker room that seems to be in on the joke is Kevin Spacey himself.

Maybe the guys are all really big House of Cards fans, or they gather together to watch The Usual Suspects on team movie nights. Who knows. This is a locker room that boasts the combined humor of Jaromír Jágr and Roberto Luongo, I’d be surprised if this was the weirdest thing we saw from them.
