I was offered choice. I picked hospital. 3 hrs later a friend picked me up. I wasn’t even charged for the visit. Yes. I am lucky

If you're not a chronic severe alcoholic, a .34 BAL almost certainly leads to a coma-like state. Such a person is neither being offered nor making any choices.

I could finally duct tape my Myers jersey 😎

8 goalies in camp is about 4 too many. Ik it gets paired down quick but oof. Mrtka should be fun to watch. Wonder if he gets a couple preseason games.

The Sabres being too lazy to update the heights and weights on this speaks to how the entire operation works.

I’ll beat you. I blew a .344 no DUI I wasn’t in the vehicle. I was flat on my face in the parking lot, keys in my pocket. Nice policeman gave me a choice, station or going to the hospital via Ambulance. it’s serious. One bad day, choice, change your life. I was many yrs sober. One day, one bad choice.

It was between a bunch of empty seats. Even Karen needed to get out of her seat. Do you really expect fans to sit on their hands with a ball rolling around?

Training Camp Roster

ffs - were you studying anesthesiology?!

No, I disagree, stay in your seat. If it comes to you its yours. Karen shouldn't be expected to wage a battle in her seat area from some clown running through the stands to get a ball. Following the "rules" you state and its no wonder there was a confrontation. I think he knew he was wrong that's why he surrendered the ball.

We've done that for ages and then submitted the videos to Bob Saget, granted there were far less cameras around. But now we track them down and determine every single thing right down to their blood type. It's probably best to avoid public gatherings at this point, heaven forbid someone takes a picture and catches you mid-blink so it looks like you're sleeping during the national anthem. She probably is a miserable human being, but I don't care.

Yep. Everyone has their worst moments in life. None of us need them recorded and uploaded to the Internet for all to see. EDIT: Except the Flyers.

I wonder how much games like this really mean to the guys who have been in the system for a while. Those 4th line guys mentioned earlier are playing to catch attention. These “vets” have eyes set on a completely different finish line. Some might want to use that to question heart, but I can’t get to that point. These games are so small in the big picture.

The story is ancient at this point. But anyway, she’s a complete moron, but like you said, she shouldn’t have been subjected to the online Spanish Inquisition. Every single video these days, there’s this quick rush to figure out who the person is so we can shame them. Yet another example of why I hate the internet.

1. Ballpark rules. Who grabs the ball, gets the ball. That's it. There are no territorial limits. She should have been quicker if it was so close to her. 2. I agree that she should not have been subjected to social media exposure. She also shouldn't have been so "country" but without the O and R about the whole situation. 3. Wasn't this like two weeks ago?

I suspect he has virtual hell coming for him from the mother of those kids....

"Mom, did you really mean to buy two can openers for our emergency kit?"

Kid projects to be a minor leaguer this season and peak as a Ryan McLeod. He played 3 games, got one goal, was his team’s most noticeable forward. 🤷

Imho, the only hope for a shift is for people to get outside their safety bubbles, educate themselves, know the difference between information and opinion, and avail themselves to the numerous honest news sources that are readily available on that same internet.

the fact that Östlund didn't light sh1t up is very concerning to me. (i've heard and read - and even saw a little - about he was dynamic ... but the absence of tangible results in a prospects tourney is concerning.)

EAP's do a lot of good for a lot of people. Anyone? There are lots of public and semi-public careers/professions where an aggravated DWI can cost someone their job (or in the case of certain professions, your license). Yeah - complicit is a good word choice. I had not thought of this. I'm thinking about it now. I really do hope he gets straightened out. Separately, do I care whether or not he continues to work in player development for the Sabres? I'm not sure. Given the team's recent history, I would not presume that he adds value to the franchise's competitiveness. But I have no idea -- maybe he does a great job with the work he does.

Seems high to be honest. Where is the seat? I'd expect to pay under 20 to sit up top.

It might be related that Bills tix are shockingly (but not surprisingly) more expensive this year. The cheapest ticket for week four against the Saints in the upper bowl is $300. Taking my family to this game blows out my ticket budget for a while.

As a fan we loved the game Mair played. The aggression, the big hits, the fights, the physical intimidation. With the recent transparency over hockey and CTE and the type of game Mair played, I don’t feel I have room to judge him at all. I cheered on his aggressive game. I cheered on the fights. Even the ones where he got his head handed to him, and there were alot of those. Given what we know about the game, CTE, and the depression, anxiety, and substance abuse that goes along with it, I can’t help but feel a level of complicity. (Is that the right word here?) Adam, I don’t know you from Adam, but I know you played the way I wanted you to play, and the aftermath likely contributed to where you are today. I hope the help he gets is effective. And I hope this doesn’t ruin his life. It was a scary lesson. Hopefully its a lesson learned.
