I'm not talking about the report of the leak, but the leak itself. The information about the investigation should be considered privileged and that prematurely disclosing that information should be subject to prosecution. I understand "defamation" itself is difficult to establish, but I don't believe the legal understanding of defamation covers situations like these and needs to be amended/reconsidered/redefined. It's simply ridiculous to accept the current reality of the seriousness of the charge out-weighing the nature of the evidence and/or the facts. I thought we might have learned from Salem witch trials. It's not news-worthy; it's sensationalism with the only real purpose being to draw readers/viewers. What interest would you or I or anyone else have in this case had the investigation remained under wraps and went no-where like P. Kane's did? Little, especially after the fact. If all we had heard about P. Kane was that someone accused him of rape but the DA felt there wasn't a case worth pursuing, what would the public opinion of P. Kane be then? I would think it would be FAR less vitriolic and divisive than it is now, and ultimately less interesting. It would be a minor footnote to the P. Kane story than a major pock-mark.

Note that I did not say the leak itself was defamation, but rather instigated defamation. I think someone creative might come up with a way to argue that information like this is privileged and the premature public disclosure of this type of information is extremely harmful.

This is why I advocated P. Kane sue whomever leaked the investigation into his case - to make an example of what happens when you instigate defamation of a person.

This is so fu%king stupid...and tragic. The DA, or someone with authority, needs to crack down on leaks like this. There is no reason for the public to know unless he is charged. Now someone is giving WKBW, I think it was, pictures of Kane's vehicle being towed. Someone needs an ass-whipping and a lesson on how to keep quiet.

TBN must have got a readership bump for the other Kane spectacle, so they run with this. Slimy bastards.

Still, like I said on the page prior, Gorges saved the game right after it was 4-3. He needs to be star number 4 if he's not 3.

This is the kind of thing we need to see more often. Learning. To. Win.

Shooting gallery!

Go for the hat trick!

Gorges saves the game.

McGinn does well on any line.

What a come back.

Pretty!

Just got back from seeing it. I give it a 9/10. The only thing missing were my 7 year old eyes and mind, but I did the best I could. Easily on par with Episode 4 in terms of the flow and energy. I thought the drama was well balanced against the action and comedic moments. I didn't have high expectations for, what is it, BB2 (I'm on my iPod and don't have the patience to verify), but that character was well done. I, for one, appreciated the various nods to the old movies. If it works, use it, and I think all of the nods were tastefully executed. This included character and convention references, and any story and plot parallels there were. Everyone agrees it looks fantastic, but I think it sounded great as well. Love the revving Tie Fighter FX. I didn't look to see if John Williams worked on score additions, but even those nods I liked. If I had any criticism it might be that the soundtrack was underplayed compared to episodes 4-6.

Ho ho ho. Santa was here.

Ryan O'Who? Damn, ROR and Samson are clutch.

Must have been a players-only meeting between periods.

#StayClassyBuffalo No wonder Brian Higgins keeps being re-elected.

So, the past several games I feel invisible...so I'll answer my own question: yes, Pat Kane is being booed when he has the puck.

Now we have a game.

Is Pat Kane being boo'd every time he has the puck?

NO SPOILERS, PLEASE.

Alright, you've posted one too many times. The second Abrams Star Trek was a great ride and added to the much needed adrenaline injection that franchise needed. The Star Trek franchise (mainly the spin offs) were pseudo intellectual dreck. Have you seen the trailers you're panning? You know this Star Wars story HAS to occur in the Star Wars universe, using the Star Wars narrative, right? There have to be TIE fighters, there have to be X wings, and there has to be the Force. Of course there have to be Jedi. Without the Star Wars icons and canon, it's just another space war movie. I want the opposite direction Lucas took the franchise after episode 6. Just like I wanted the opposite direction for the Star Trek franchise instead of the way it went after Wrath of Khan. Abrams is perfect for that. Mmm autocorrect.

Fun times. Ocho Cinco must be hardly containing his glee.
