This was from the Saturday edition of The Calgary Sun....

 

 

Buffalo fans may be some of the most dedicated, mischievous and/or misguided in the league. Although there’s no way to confirm it, when the fire alarm went off at the Flames hotel room right around nap time Friday afternoon, first thought was a fan is looking to give the home team the edge. Same thing happened a few years back at a different hotel the Flames were staying at in Buffalo. Not sure that’s a coincidence ... Maybe we should cut the Buffalo fans a break, though. Many of them sang along with O Canada before puck drop. Must be a border town ...

Great Find.

 

I fully support this kind of mischief. Teams should have to make extra precautions to stay in buffalo. They should have to arrive in the cover of night and take multiple cabs to the hotel to avoid detection.

guess ill be the only one to say it:

 

i want bflo teams to win as much as anybody but this is an uncool way to support that

 

somebody elses house could burn down or any of a number of other tragedies could happen while fire fighters and cops are paying attention to this kind of crap

 

find another way to help your team

The writer wasn't previously aware of Buffalo's proximity to Canada? A lot of those fans were Canadian.

Since we're on fire alarms. The fire alarm went off between periods at the Center last night. Blinky lights everywhere, even in the 300 section. Stay on well into the 2nd period.

Fire alarm went off during the 3rd period of the Amerks game in Syracuse tonight.

There must be a serial alarmist at work in and around the city of Buffalo :thumbdown:

If a fan did pull the fire alarm I hope they have it on video and the scumbag is arrested. Putting people's lives at risk like that is assassin and criminal.

I'm with you. My parents live upstairs. Very disruptive.

This is garbage reporting (the paper, not you, jabtot).

Right. That's why they should serve salmonella tainted chicken for the team meal. No collateral damage.

I can confirm that the alarm went off in the Avant building at 2:30pm on Friday. Better 2:30pm than 2:30am though!

 

That happens from time to time in that building. It's not necessarily a fan; there is internal construction in that building that could have tripped the alarm, or something could have happened in the kitchen, etc.

No one pulled it. You could smell something like burnt popcorn.

And it sounds like a daytime alarm. What fan would be dumb enough to prank the opposing team in the middle of the day? If they're looking for trouble, they do it at 3am.
