Seems like the Hawks are really dialing it in.

The offense is just starting to come around. Hossa and saad need to get it going but for the most part all 4 lines are contributing. Sharp should help as well as soon as he gets back.

How do teams have Home attendance percentages over 100%?

And Sabres fans are really upset about what the Panthers did at the game tonight. Played video showing storm while showing Panthers mascot on the beach.

this video?

It's a dumb video, but I don't get why anyone would be offended by it. Unless there's something more to it in that clip; but I can't imagine they would have shown anything actually worth getting upset about...

13 people died during the snowstorms in the Buffalo area last month (in addition to tens of millions in damages). Seemed in poor taste to me. Doubt Floridians would appreciate northern teams making fun of hurricanes hitting their region.

Meh, I guess. They made fun of the cold in St. Paul when the Wild played in Florida. So it's not like they singled out Buffalo, it's just kind of their bit. Maybe not the smartest thing to do after a snowstorm of that magnitude, but I just saw it as a light-hearted jab at northern climates in general.

Got home from a tough loss but a good game between the Flames and Sharks. No comeback this time though. I did order my new Brodie jersey so it wasn't all bad lol

Don't think it was malicious or anything. Someone just should've realized it was inappropriate for the next few Sabres visits.

Aside: In 2001, I was in some baseball roto pool at EA that was updated by hand, and the standings were emailed out to everyone each week. I hated the Yankees of that era with a white-hot passion, so my team name was "Yanks + Burning Death = Good!" (Subtle, I know.) I wasn't really paying attention to it (had a couple ESPN leagues on the go), so I'd pretty much forgotten about the team name until, uh, the standings for the 2nd week of September came out. D'oh.

Re: The Official 2014-15 Regular Season Talk Thread

Maybe the Sens could try putting a little more money into their roster instead of blaming a guy who was voted coach of the year just two years ago?

Coming into this season, they were tied with the Sharks and Capitals for 13th place in overall team revenue ($117 million last year).

Yet Ottawa currently has more cap space available ($19 million) than any other team in the league.

He took shots at the management (well deserved, it's Melnyk) in post game PC and there were reports that players hated him, probably Karlsson.
