I want him coaching that team forever.

Morning hockey. Missed opening goals. Neuchev could've decapitated a guy and... stepped aside. Which is nice... in a practice.

It finally opened up.

Enough. Take it to PM if you must. You both COULD contribute useful stuff here rather than taking pot shots at each other. I'm tired of it. The continued antagonizing of each other does not need to be carried out in the public forum. Not from continued eyerolls nor the comments about getting the eyerolls. No more warnings.

This would be why it might be helpful to post what your thought on the message in the video was. People aren't going to watch a long video.. or they might if they have some sense of what is in it. Overall, I think wanting harm to anyone is bad. It shouldn't happen. He should be allowed to speak his views and influence those who would listen and believe. But, there is a debatable point I think about when what someone speaks of might influence those who listen to cause harm to others. It's a very slippery slope. Are we to be held responsible for another person's actions because of what we might have said? Should Clark Griswold be held responsible for Cousin Eddy being stupid and kidnapping Clark's boss? (Yes, I use that as a bit tongue in cheek, but I feel the concept is there.) The bottom line to me is that both sides need to stop encouraging people to be so intolerant of those with different views. We should not be talking about violence against a corporate CEO any more than we should be talking about violence against someone for the sexual identification. Sadly we are on the path of escalation. I am hoping there's a shift in direction without there first being a seismic event that triggers it.

True. That was the primary design, as an anti armor missile. It can be used as an air-air weapon and has been used that way by the Air Force. This whole thing looks hokey.

The video says this was a Hellfire missile. I wonder where it ended up.

Anybody else still not seeing the Sabres site opening up the game feed?

Why is it not reasonable? These are the very real consequences people face for their actions. It can happen to anyone and has. We've seen people fired from their jobs when their name makes it into the public and people begin associating them with the company they work for. The company has every right to protect its brand from its employees bad decisions, whether they occur on company time or not. Perhaps he should have recognized this before he made the decision to drink and drive. I'm not following the situation that closely but are we assuming he has an addiction or has it been stated? Just because someone blows a .2 does not mean they are an addict. That said, it doesn't change things. If you are someone who has a close relationship with a person who has an alcohol addiction then I would hope you've taken steps to make sure they aren't driving drunk and absolutely not with their kids in the car. Even then, you can't prevent people from making bad decisions 100% of the time. Bad stuff is going to happen. In this case he's not even fired right? He's on leave. So, are people just making all kinds of assumptions about the situation or did I miss some facts?

a wounded animal is a dangerous animal. and miami has often played us tough and close. that said: i hope we blow their doors off on thursday night and send mcdaniel and his coke dealer sunglasses packing.

It’s such a tricky one though. Were they even drafted yet when all of this happened? Being held to a standard before you’re even in the league, I’m. It sure how I feel about that. I’d lean more towards just going with the “time served” already, but quite honestly, I think this is a PR thing by the league more than anything. They want to disperse the unwanted attention and not get it immediately at the start of the season.

"And, in this case, while found not to have been criminal, the conduct of the players involved certainly did not meet that standard," the NHL statement read. It further stated that it took into account the fact that the players have been away from the game for 20 months in rendering the length of the suspensions.“

They let GMKA briefly operate the thing before realizing what a mistake it was.

Hellfire missiles hit ground targets

this does not make sense. They have been functionality suspended since this came out a year and a half to two years ago. They were found innocent.

Tough question. How do you punish addiction in a way that helps the offender, his family and society? I think that around 50% of people in jail committed their offence while intoxicated, so this is a pretty big problem that society has been dealing with forever. Would firing Mair help him and his family or just purge the Sabres organization of a problem? No clue My friend's ex just crashed his motorcycle into a tree and got all broken up, like bad, and this was like his sixth DWI. He had no license and might kill someone next time. And he posts his injuries on FB like he is a war hero or something, total moron and its only a matter of time until he drinks and drives again. I don't think any punishment will deter a person who gets that intoxicated. Once you are drunk your ability to reason goes out the window, but obviously there needs to be serious consequences that hopefully will make them think before they start drinking. I'm sentencing Mair to a day in jail and a warning that if he does it again its ten days in jail.

To answer the OP question I think it sucks for his wife and kids the most. His kids especially had no idea what he did for a living and only saw him as dad. This kind of stuff is pointless.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/capitals-place-assistant-coach-mitch-love-on-leave-pending-investigation/ Washington just put assistant coach Mitch Love on leave.

I have a feeling if Buffalo beats Miami on Thursday that coach McDaniel might be nearing the end of his run.

IMO, EAP is underutilized. Wish more people took advantage of it.

Lots of things have been happening off of the coast of Yemen for a long time. Lots of missiles, UAVs, Drone strikes, etc. The USN has been engaging with the Houthi’s since about 2018 or so. The Royal Saudi Air Force has been involved in the fighting as well. The “orb” was split because maybe it was only partially blown up? They didn’t show enough video to indicate its eventual fate. It did not look “unfazed” either. Did it eventually fall into the sea? The video cuts out. Bigger question - what is ABC News/ Good Morning America (GMA) doing with this video and why would congress release something to the public in this manner? Seems like this would be classified and that makes it very odd that it would be released at all. Seems so odd that it could be fake, or perhaps setting the public up for something bigger? Or maybe we hit a Martian space ship when their cloaking device was turned off but thankfully their autonomous regenerative capability kicked in?

Might get tickets to Elbow & Oakenfold/Crystal Method shows.

Company time has nothing to do with the handling of substance abuse problems. One part of me gets angry and wants him fired for recklessly endangering children and possibly others. Another part of me knows that if he worked for a big corporation, or the government, he would have an option to call their Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and ask for help. Depending on circumstances his employment would be protected while he was put on a recovery plan of some sort. As a former Engineering Director for a large corporation that is what we did. I was introduced to this plan in about 2005 and have seen it help people, and I’ve also seen people fail and move on. It puts a strain on the organization to have to replace the employee and then possibly have to accommodate him later, but overall I thought it was a good benefit. I have no clue as to whether the Sabres provide this as an employee benefit. It’s a different business altogether.

It strangely appeared as though after it was struck three unknown objects deployed and followed in its wake.
