Very Bernsteinian construction, there.

I'm glad people are noticing this, now.

Commas before terminal adverbs. I'm not entirely sure it's always necessary!

I know sentential adverbs, where what's being modified or intensified is the entire clause (hopefully, the strike will end soon), are set off with a comma, but I don't know if you're supposed to do that for ones at the end.

Due primarily to the NHL work stoppage, but also due to changes and efficiencies in our normal business operations, SSE and the Florida Panthers instituted a number of staff adjustments today including staff reductions.

But I was led to believe the Panthers saved hockey in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-Palm Beyotches by finishing first in a terrible division and losing in the first round! How could it be that they would then have to institute layoffs??

Incidentally, Michael Yormark is probably the third biggest scumbag in North American pro sports, and that's only because no one could ever hope to make it to the stratum of scum that hosts Jerry Reinsdorf and Jeffrey Loria. I'm surprised the press release didn't end with "the Panthers' 3Q 2012 layoffs are sponsored by Publix and your South Florida-area Lexus dealers."

Oh hey I missed this the first time around, which I admittedly skimmed:

Quote:
As Patrick Kane taught kids how not to wear a mouthguard and a city learned to pronounce “Byfuglien,” a stream of press-releases fluttered from the team’s offices describing record attention, viewership, listenership, and overall awareness of what long had been winter’s secondary interest. Even the nest of race-baiting hockey supremacists found voice, creeping in from the fringes.


Just as I suspected. More bitterness about McDonough trumpeting huge ratings/attendance gains from the same guy who will devote an hour to JUST HOW AMAZING the ratings are for a quotidian Bulls-Hornets game, and yet again recklessly connecting diehard hockey fandom to white supremacism. Yeah, the whole crux of this column seems to be that the Blackhawks have a lot to lose because Dan wants them to have a lot to lose; that way, he doesn't have to be bothered with them and their imaginary multitudes of Jew-hating fans.

Good stuff as I found the hockey supremacist part odd as well. I mean, shit, his race-baiting basketball supremacist self has had a prominent voice on radio for over 10 years.
