Did any of you guys hear the Panthers feed saying Stewart refused to sit with his teammates in the locker room during 2nd intermission? Thought I heard that, but I was a room over and haven't rewound the DVR yet.

How the hell would they know? ... Nobody from Florida would be allowed in the Locker room

Just went back. Panthers "sideline reporter" reported that Stewart took off his gear in changing room and sat there shaking his head and refused to join team in locker room. Report happens at 6:12 remaining in 3rd.

Thanks for the update


Sounds like he put more effort into his hissy fit than he does in his play.

No it wasn't. Tallon already personally apologized to the Sabres management in attendance. It was not a specific shot at the snow storm. Just something silly the marketing dept always does when the panthers play an northern team at home during the winter months. Obviously should not have done it this time though.

So Stewart wasn't injured, but he had a hissy fit? About ice time?

I know it's probably wrong, but I really wish(ed) Stewart could've been put on the top line and scored enough to be decent trade bait right now. I never liked him and never wanted to keep him. Just wish he could be worth a 2nd or a vet d-man with a cap hit for next season. Right now he's worthless.

The fact that people are offended by that video is insane. It's obviously not done with malicious intent, and it's even more obvious that people are just looking for something to be offended about. Such bull. I really hope the Sabres org doesn't make a big deal about this, I would lose a lot of respect for T-Peg and ™. This is coming from someone who spent their first 22 years living there, so I get it.

I wasn't offended by the video at all, it was clearly just a harmless jab, but that particular storm will be remembered for taking 10+ lives and it's still fresh in everyone's minds. Not a real smart move by their media dept. given that context.

They posted a few video clips specific to our recent storm. A storm that caused the deaths of a few people as well as causing a lot of destruction of property from collapses. As Pegula or murray put it, There is nothing funny about people dying in a snow storm.


I'm hoping it was just staffers not realizing the level of destruction that storm caused. If not, that was pretty callous.

This isn't aimed at you since you don't seem to care much, but they get heat waves in Florida that take 10 lives a piece, you know? I don't see why it would be taboo to show snow storm footage, considering that it was national news, but the deaths were not (didn't hear about them where I am). They probably just googled "buffalo snow storm," and took whatever they found. You have to look at intent, if you want to be taken seriously, right? It was obviously not meant maliciously. And I'm a PC liberal who doesn't use any slanderous or controversial terms at all, if I can help it, and am all about thinking of other people's feeling when you speak. But this is just a harmless joke. Whatever, everybody's offended these days.

Yes, of course. Those Florida intern video editors were just dancing on graves.

I see this more as an instance of the Panthers' media team putting their foot in their mouth. Buffalo gets ribbed all the time about snow, so I'm sure they were just running with that well-trodden joke and didn't really consider the tragic side of the recent storm. Anyway, props to Mr. Pegula and Tim Murray for pointing it out to the Panthers' GM.
