With the Sabres visiting the Panthers tonight, I am reminded that it was a year ago that I learned of the passing of my pal — and everyone connected with hockey — Paul Wieland, the original public relations director of the Buffalo Sabres.
The Florida Panthers’ magical playoff run has come to a disappointing end. They lost the Stanley Cup Final to the Vegas Golden Knights four games to one.
When the Vegas Golden Knights were entering the NHL as an expansion team in 2017, their then-record $500 entrance fee got them a new set of rules in which to build their team.
It was reported on Monday that the NHL was looking into allegations that former GM Dale Tallon had used racially insensitive language during his time in the Toronto bubble.
The use of the racial slur allegedly happened while the Panthers were still inside the NHL's Toronto bubble competing to make the playoffs in the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
