Will the real Kevin Spacey please stand up?
The "House of Cards" star and mysterious source of inspiration for the Florida Panthers did exactly that during a second-period stoppage Saturday night, and the crowd at BB&T Center went nuts.

Panthers fans were presented with cardboard cutouts of Spacey's face before the game, and the actor used one of them to conceal himself before being revealed on the scoreboard.
Between this and the longstanding plastic rat tradition, this team certainly has a knack for memorable motivational material.
In the end, Spacey's presence was historic. The Panthers set a regular-season attendance record Saturday night with 20,817 fans in the building.
