Oh pUUUUUUUlease.
You've never done this right, right?

What he did and what the media tries to do everyday while asserting their power to destroy lives are two totally different things.

Again, look in the mirror.

He hired a "racist" coach" knowing that he was a "racist coach"?
Just stop.🤦🏻

He gave a guy a tryout in camp because he knew that he was a gifted athlete and you have a problem with that?

He "skipped the team plane" to literally spend time with his grandchildren.

You TRY to paint to everything with a sinister brush.
I'll say this;
You'd do well working with the heathens in the media.

I mean, just stop it already.
Go look inside your mirror into and at your past.
Are you going to say that there are things there that you are not proud of?
Try and assert that nonsense and I'll call you a liar.

I'm not sure why so many are incapable of doing this until they themselves are the target?

The man screwed up.
We ALL do!
Stop trying to bury him for what all of us do on a weekly basis.
We all err.

It wasn't the media who released this and have you dry humped a women other than your wife, of course, while your wife was somewhere else?

Other then smoking pot I got nothing. I’ve done my fair share of blow too while in uni but that was mostly cause I was burnt out and needed an upper. Never got in trouble with the law, never even as much as gotten suspended or even detention in school

Went to school, got a degree, got a job, and now am engaged with a child on the way.

The second I walk into a club and have women dance on me though, I hope I get recorded and it gets sent to my wife.

The day I hire a personal trainer that was scoffed at the second that hit the media, I hope I have to go fire him for trying to sneak one by and get ridiculed for it.

Tim Tebow hasn’t taken an NFL snap in over 8 years, it was obviously a publicity stunt get over yourself.

In all my years of playing sports, I’ve never had a coach not travel with the team to and from a game.

Owner is furious, the players think the guy is a joke, I’m sure his wife ain’t pleased, and his kids have to live with all of this.

“But he’s remorseful”

I’ve looked in the mirror, it sounds like you are excusing a man because of your own jaded past.

That looks more on you then it does me.

You can try and justify your stance as much as you like.
You're entitled to your opinion, and I didnt bother reading your life story, I'm not interested.

I'm simply tired of watching people's lives being destroyed by the heathens in the media.

My point is that the mirror and our past is unkind to all of us.
You're no different, and if you think that you are, you're only lying to yourself.

Urban is an imperfect human being that danced a little to close with another woman.
We've all done it!
Big deal.

Stop trying to bury the man and trying to justify yourself in watching the heathens try to bury him.
It's repulsive and sick.

When do the Sabres lose patience with UPL as the future goalie?

I think it depends on how this year in Rochester goes.

I also think they know their NHL goalies (if you call them that) are going to get shelled and they don't want to expose him to that.

I agree with both but he is what 23? I think he should have looked better this preseason and at least tempted them to keep him but there was no debate.

When Portillo shows up and looks dynamite. Hopefully he turns pro with Power at the end of the season after they win a championship

He is 22 my concern is he had double hip surgery at such an early age

But this is an important year for him to play in front of a Rochester team that won't be as bad as last years (hopefully)

After Granato took over Dahlin was the only player who perform at a + 50% Xgf and was on a + 50 point pace per 82

That’s better than any stretch Ristolainen has had

- sbroads24

Dahlin was drafted as a franchise defensemen with the first overall pick. Risto, 8th. Comparisons are futile.

Yeah, I hope he is the next Miller but he is going to take some time in Rochester. If UPL doesn't progress this year they are going to have to get a solid goalie in a trade or FA for next year.

I'm glad they acquired Levi. It's disappointing that's there's no real competition in net after so many rebuild years.

To answer your question, he needs to look the part this season and be in Buffalo next season.

I have little to no interest in Ristolainen anymore

I will undoubtedly find it funny when a select few who routinely defended him all the sudden start blaming the defense now that he’s not on the ice for 25-30 minutes a game.
