I guess what I'm saying is: I couldn't care less what other teams do with their pre-game videos. Unless it's blatantly and intentionally offensive (i.e. racist, gruesome, etc.), there's nothing to get mad about in my mind.

someone should make sure anything the team shows at their venue is in good taste though

Morin is interesting

I read he has improved his skating, not afraid to get dirty

on the cheap, I'd kick the tires

if making a trade with the bruins, how about stewart plus for cap money coming back and spooner?
say stewart, flynn, ruhwedel and the islanders second for eriksson and spooner

gives the bruins a little cap room for 2015, a few bodies they can play on the bottom of their roster

we get an upside player and a rental to trade in 2015

if the goal is to tank this season

I'd offer a 4th rd pick for Morin, why not?

It seems like there could be a bigger type of deal between us and Boston involving Stewart+. I'd love to have Subban and Eriksson.

You didn't need to post this, I understand your point. I just don't agree with it.

I guess, but I really didn't see the "tasteless" part either. They were poking fun at the weather, something they've always done, and people will continue to do forever. The video showed a snow filled landscape, and cars being covered. It didn't show houses collapsing, or property being ruined, or people dying, or anything like that. I'm sorry. I just find this to be much ado about nothing.

I really don't know to be honest. I'm not saying they should have done it. The fact that the video simply wasn't funny, even if you throw out all the other implications, is the main one. To me, it was lame, not offensive.

EDIT: I've never lost a loved one due to a snowstorm, or any sort of natural disaster. However, I have lost a loved one in a car accident. And I do know I don't get offended every time someone makes a joke about a car crash, or one of those Home Video Programs show one as a joke. Maybe I'm just not emotional enough.

The difference is they used actual footage from a storm that killed 13 people. I'm sure you'll have your usual comeback for that one.

So let me get this straight, if they would have used aerial footage from any of the lake effect snow bands from last year, it would be just fine?
