@PASabreFan always had a thing for the name "Kale."

This is puerile.

I can't disagree with anything here. 23 isn't 18, and Carson Briere is only known because of Danny. And @Randall Flagg aptly points out that there is MUCH worse (as bad as that is) on the Internet every day. For the people (not necessarily on this forum) screaming for jail time: you wouldn't be screaming if it was your kid or even your wheelchair. It's destruction of property at most. For the people (again not necessarily on this forum) arguing to "give the kid a break," you wouldn't be arguing that if he looked differently or wasn't the son of someone quasi-public. The entire publicity surrounding this is just another episode of voyeurism and possibly calumny. Sports websites aren't sports websites anymore. They're about who did what off the field, who said what about whom on twitter, and who's driving what car. We've become European that way, and it sux. And it's not limited to sports: On Monday, I had to read four articles to finally figure out what movie won Best Picture, because the first three were about who was with whom and what they were wearing and what they said. Enough. I want to know whether Danny Briere is a good GM, not whether his kid is a screw-up. I want to know about which team Aaron Rodgers is going to play for, and not about his darkness retreat or what he said about Ian Rappaport yesterday morning. I want to know which film won Best Picture and not who was on Jennifer Aniston's arm or what Tom Cruise had to drink. I want to know what Congress is doing and not which representative has the loudest mouth on Twitter. This little tempest-in-a-teapot is so emblematic of a much bigger problem with what information we consume (and, in turn, what information we are told to consume).

Frazier's defenses can win all the regular seasons he wants. We need good playoff defenses now, and he isn't it.

Because the Sabres are in serious competition in spite of, and not because of, goaltending.

I'm so sorry, man. I hope it's not too serious. Yes, patients (and their advocates) here have to fight and fight hard.

He's not all over the hockey news for being a fringe player at a AA program in Erie. Look at the title of the post, just for example. And there are a lot of people here criticizing parenting without knowing a thing about it.

I'll stop. For now.

Whopper whopper bourbon whopper Weave likes whisky in his whopper He thinks it's a burger popper He eats it his wayyyyyyyy

OK. 1. This video has been an Internet spectacle for a bit--at least eight hours before posted here. 2. We're watching someone at his worst. Yes, he's being an *****. No, it doesn't need to be the subject of public discussion just because his dad was semi-famous once. 3. It doesn't reflect on Briere's parenting skills anyway. IIRC, the son is from a broken marriage with a MOTHER, not father, to blame. 4. (For humor): what do you expect when you name your kids Caelen, Carson, Cameron, and Caiden? Just the first and last of those are too confusing.

Whopper whopper stop and whopper Drop your stuff and eat a whopper you can stop drop and roll, and Whopper all dayyyyyyy You're with P A, so have it your way...

I'm having fun coming up with my own versions. Unspeakable Whopper, Drinkable Whopper, etc.

Ray: "There's nothing you can do there in the goaltender's situation." Me: "Did he lose his stick?"

There are people here who believe that this is not important, and that face-off % is a minor statistic. I am not one of those people.

Predicable.

Look out folks, he's comin' in HOT!

It's just garbage journalism.

I'll give him credit for getting a first round pick for Ristolainen no matter what that pick (currently Isak Rosen) turns into--and there's still another pick on the way this summer, too.

Where? I have to drive through PA tomorrow and don't want to get hit w/ a storm.

Well, we have five winners! But I don't know who they are.

I share this feeling. I'll be THRILLED with a win.

They need to draft a goalie every year. I don't mind that pick, even with Hutson there. Maybe the bigger mistake was three centers in the first round (although maybe they can flip one for a goalie or a defenseman.)

There's nothing watchable on MSG other than live sports, IMO. (I can get my dose of Marty Biron much more easily over radio.) And I don't watch any of the sports MSG carries other than hockey. So yeah, I don't have a lot of use for it outside of the $210 during the NHL season.

I'd be ok with either and I'd be happiest if the players elect a captain.
