North Buffalo

But your the Dad and you make it worse and come off as a royal douche if you do it in front of your kids friends especially for something minor. Do it behind the scenes and again make the punishment fit the crime. Of course your kids are gonna challenge you and I hate when one tells on the other, but its important not to overreact. This. You dont have any say in the matter and your wrong... you may find out in 20 years. They may or may not tell it to your face but will avoid you as much as possible.

It needed to be addressed, just not that way and not with shame... only builds resentment and will come back to haunt these two dimwits.

Again it sounds like a GMTM new policy, a concern in itself that DD is not leading the team, it was executed poorley... making him sit on the bench dressed the whole game for 5 min. Stupid, stupid, stupid.... now thinking both idiots need to go...

Fire Murray with Blysma... onr for incompetence and one for ahole in competence.

No thanks not at this point in his career.

Oh I care, but after reading Murray decision... he is a ahole and TPegs needs to fire him. 5 min late... hell we have a 7 min rule at work. They docs us 1/4 hour if more.... in this case equiv of 5 min in NHL time... I come from another hosp 2 days and traffic gets me. And again... making him sit on bench dressed is BS... F Murray.

zzzzzzzxx Has next season arrived... whod the Sabres draft?

noice now find a good college D to sign.

Guys stop caring though especially when season is almost over and no playoffs in site and coach is an idiot. Murray overreaching if so and Blysma making him sit on bench or Mmurray is a bunch of Bull. If DD isnt gone doubt Sam and Jack resign with Sabres especially over these management antics.

Depends on the level of the boss.... if owner not... but bosses can be made to be made incompetent and fired..

You have never worked on Capitol Hill or in Hospital... happens all the time... key not leaving your finger prints directly on anything. Again make the punishment fit the crime and make effective. Effective does not mean short term ramifications... it means effect on team and player. Ps wouldnt be a big deal if was appropriate punishment and even less if this team was winning and Dan was a good coach.

They play in Washington with a bunch of Putin thugs... er Russians influencing Trump... comrad...

yehi want the white one full uniform.

makes the punishment fit the crime.... ps a whole game in front of everyone. Please not respectful to the player or the team for being late. Hit him in his pocket. Reserve the shame bit for something a whole lot worse. Im fine with a punishment just not this... Again bad coaching.

Then fire GMTM for not communicating with DD.... thought their communication was good?

Me too...

Non sequitor... 2nd overall draft pic... if Murray loves DD that much then trade Sam, because DD's gonna mess him up and the team and nfw Jack resigns here as a result. If that is gonna happen TPegs might as well sell the team now! Pi your off your meds this morning.., bad news man, bad news in my best Denis Hopper voice.

Because old school doesnt work, proven counter productive which is why its called old school.

Still got closer to Sabres in standings and WPegs just jumped over Sabres... Tankerooosky...

Interesting... but they sent the guys down instead of keeping Fasching and Fedun up... with all those injuries was risking a lot... guess D-Lo can play D... but man is he done on offense and not appropriate with Eichel. So really a management screw up not having some backups around... Rochester is not that far... jeez... how late in the day was the meeting...

Another mess up they didn't call anyone up, lots of injuries on D so no, and Okposo is out sick... DD mismanaging the team too.

Exactly... And if this was a good veteran team maybe then but for a minor infraction.. I still disagree... Shaming only breeds more resentment... and resistance.

Blsyma sucks..., Blysma sucks...., BLYSMA SUCKS...., BLYSMA SUCKS

Benching a young star for anymore than a couple of shifts is just plain stupid, Kane or otherwise and no we didn't ask for Murray to trade Kane over missing the thing in TO last year... Was more worried about him out on the town in Buffalo... Sure Sam screwed up, but your statement is idiotic... and Dan should be fired because of it..

As someone stated in the game thread playing him out of position, not at center, not making plays which is his strength.... Dan has misused Sam all season. Minus him and Okposo showed how little depth the Sabres have at forward and screwed up Dan is as a coach. Heck sit him for three or four shifts in the first, but over a meeting at the end of a losing season and a back to back... Betting he overslept. Dude Dan is goner and has to know it. This is a bunch of crap. Not sure he had to be on the bench for anything but the start of the game. Even so, the whole game. Guess Sam said something smartassed as Blysma deserved but he shouldn't have said... Gionta is just plain wrong... I have a 12 year old and you don't just sit him, you keep on him and keep teaching... Sam isn't 12 and if I am Sam, I demand a trade tonight. I go to Tim Murray and then leak something to the press if he doesn't agree to... but that is just me... PS If this is the case, I do my best to make sure the team loses out the entire rest of the season including the leaves game...
