X. Benedict Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Seriously, World Juniors to this in 48 hrs? The triumph of narcissistic personality disorder over content. Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. I'll be back I'm sure. I'm just going to take a break. maybe finish the porn novel started for me. I'm too old for this schlock. Happy Holidays folks. Enjoy the hockey. Peace all.

Do you not find it interesting that every single employee who was hired as the original architects of Hockey Heaven have been fired except one? That those other 4 positions have been filled by 12 different people in the 4 plus years Pegula has owned the team? For someone who bragged about never firing an employee, he sure got the hang of it fast. I'm happy about many, but I would assume the only employee to survive the purge must be doing a bang up job. Seriously X. Is it not a valid discussion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 We just traded XB for Drane? This must be how Colorado feels about the O'Reilly trade. The board needed a shakeup. More grit, more sandpaper. We just became a much more difficult board to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously X. Is it not a valid discussion? However valid you may find it, it does not belong in the World Juniors thread. I don't know how this is even a debate. Start a new thread and keep it isolated there rather than dropping a thinly veiled comment in whatever thread you're reading when you lose the ability to control yourself.

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 We just traded XB for Drane? This must be how Colorado feels about the O'Reilly trade. Don't worry. I'm sure the moderator is using analytics to figure out how many months I will be banned for mentioning a name. If X is serious about leaving, I will fall on the grenade and not post. I guess he needs to reconcile his theory of narcissism with martyrdom. Probably one in the same. To keep the thread on it's original track, who thinks that last night at the puck drop ceremony Russ Brandon could name you one Coyote without looking at the back of their jerseys?

LTS Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 If it's so important to get your message across then perhaps you should try doing it in a method where people don't immediately tune you out. Seems rather counter-productive. Granted you have the people who will sing your praises regardless of where and how it's said. But even a fool can get a few followers.

K-9 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/08/second_mile_jerry_sandusky_1.htmlYou offer up a three year old article with no mention of Benson to imply Benson is being investigated? That is some weak crap you are slinging. What is the CURRENT disposition of the investigation of the charity and can you point us to anything, ANYTHING, that suggests Benson was complicit?

Neo Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) There are some big dogs who've been banned. There are some big dogs who've chosen to take a break. There are some big dogs considering sabbaticals. I'm happiest when you're all here. Insight on Eichel, dirty places and Disco Dan. I learn and I'm grateful. Oh, and "colorful" is fun. When I think of the World Juniors in Buffalo, I think of Casablanca and both The National Anthem and O Canada being sung in 716 at HarborCenter. La Marseilles and Die Wacht am Rhein! Forgive my obscene juxtaposition of circumstance and importance. Edited December 5, 2015 by N'eo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this thread we have TruBlue calling me "broken", yet I bring up a valid point about Cliff Benson being the only surviving employee of the original Hockey Heaven group and the mere mention of his name has people in a kerfuffel. We have a poster being accused of being someone other than himself and was made to feel intimidated. Now X is upset because just because he wants to pretend "The Tank" never happened and the True Sabres Fans had to boo their own players and root for them to lose...some people will always remember what happened and not be afraid to remind people about what really happened no matter how much the feeling and subject matter may make them squirm. A little ironic, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little ironic, no? Sorry to call you out on this (cuz I really like when you aren't talking about this topic), but the only one i see in a kerfuffle over Benson is you.

What part do you not understand. If you can find me anything that the charity and it's operating officers are no longer under investigation, I will gladly look. Considering Tom Corbett originally assigned 1 State Trooper to the investigation and the feds didn't get involved until how many years later...just look at the date of the article and the time period talked about. It's about that far out in time right now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wasn't it you who was upset over jumping to conclusions about someone not charged with anything? Absolutely I'll take my ban like a man. I present proof that the Financial Chairman of The Second Mile at the time Jerry Sandusky was brought up on charges is along with the rest of the operating figureheads of the charity, under multiple federal investigations. There are additional federal investigatons that may or may not involve him, but matches the discription of only a handful of possible people. All of that aside, Hockey Heaven envisioned an event like the WJC. Is it not a valid and interesting point that every single member of Pegula's original executive and management team has been fired, most positions changed multiple times, except for 1 person? Ted Black is off in the poor loony bin according to Bucky, but 1 survives. You implied Benson was under investigation and linked a three year old article to support that claim. A three year old article that doesn't even mention Benson, by the way. The better question is what don't YOU understand? He was the Financial Chairman at the time. A 3 year old article talking about an investigation that started 3 years prior and a new set of investigations starting because of it. The math isn't that difficult.

Everyone is well aware of Benson's role with the charity as well as others on the board with ties to PSU. Yes, the math is easy, but it doesn't mean a damned thing because there is no there, there. When you can link relative information that actually says Benson is under investigation, as you claimed, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/08/second_mile_jerry_sandusky_1.html Article's 3 years old, and, best I coukd tell from a word search, makes no mention of anyone associated with the Sabres. You gotta have more if you want to return to slinging arrows, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
