Florida general manager Dale Tallon apologized to Buffalo owner Terry Pegula and general manager Tim Murray for the team's pregame video on Saturday night.
The video interspersed scenes from Buffalo's recent major snowstorm with those of the Panthers' mascot fishing and doing other activities outside in the South Florida sun.
Pegula, who lives in Palm Beach County and recently purchased the Bills, was incensed as he spoke with Tallon about the video.
Over a dozen deaths were blamed on the massive snowstorm that crippled parts of the Buffalo area last month.
"People died in that storm,'' Pegula was overheard saying to Tallon. "That's not funny.''
Tallon said he didn't see the video -- he wasn't in the press box at the time -- but was told about before meeting with Pegula and Murray during the second intermission.
"I can't comment on it because I haven't seen it and don't really know what's in it,'' Tallon told the Miami Herald after walking away from the Buffalo management group.
"But if they're upset, rightfully so.''
