Maybe it was unwise..but if you cant see the camera should you just talk in private space, maybe someones toaster records your kitchen rant or someones TV or fridge.. it should be prosecuted by law and forbidden to share others private conversations to the public without consent.
New times require new laws.

Moral of the story .... tip your Uber driver well
Or cab driver... if you're on the Blackhawks.
It's funny doing a search and seeing how many people thought the Sabres should have signed him. I can't imagine anyone wants us to pick him up now.

hell's a gigawatt?
He looks like a much taller Brian Gionta to me. It's probably just the goatee but there it is... i think we should claim him, make him wear number 12, and give him the C. We'll just tell everyone that Gionta is back and wearing stilts.
Seriously though, his playing days are behind him. He should just ride off into the sunset as quietly as possible at this point.
Given the Senators behavior for the last decade, I’d say that sounds very appeasement oriented. I suspect this will sell more papers than the actual coverage.
I have faith in our ability to overtake the Canadiens for fourth in the division. But Boston worries me a lot. If Rask misses a significant amount of time, and Halak can’t carry the load (pulled last night against Vancouver, 5 goals on 19 shots against), then Boston may struggle, and that coveted 3rd place spot could be open.
Ottawa is better than they were imagined to be. But they’ll eventually falter in my opinion.
Florida will likely even out as the season carried along. But if they don’t pick it up big soon over the next 10-15 games, they could find themselves in a big hole that they can’t dig out of.

I thought he did a decent job playing a weird defensive role on the Leafs. He must have fallen apart completely during the summer. I was hoping that we’d sign him as a 3C/4C just in case Mittelstadt would ’t be able to play in the NHL as a C this year.

The paper has no obligation to pull the video. There's no reason to. What would it change? Why should they?

Since there's no gdt up yet for Saturday's game:
Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser is leaving the team's road trip to head back to Vancouver to see a specialist.
Boeser, 21, has been dealing with a groin injury.
Good sign for us.

Bring him on too. I hate playing teams when they aren't at full capacity, much like i hate how every team dresses their backup against us.

Right? Then if we win we will have people running around thinking Housley is the difference between last season and this season rather than the quality of player Eichel has turned into, better goaltending and Jeff Skinner while facing back-ups and teams not even considered to be contenders.
It's not even all that I just think this team can legit hang with any team that is full capacity. The difference in "talent" from bottom teams and top teams is in a lot of ways minimal or watered down at this point. They are world class athletes and it's a game of bounces. The difference between bottom teams and top teams is consistency, depth, leadership, and coaching. Even a one trick pony team csn have a few lucky bounces, or a single star player steal a game here and there against a "superior" team. This group of young players and this organization as a whole needs to have the mentality that one way or another we can win tonight. We might not be top to bottom as talented or as sexy on paper but a win is possible. I find no joy in matthews being out a month or boeser out a game. If I'm gonna win I want it to be because we beat the other team with them on the ice. I want to play price and run up 6 goals on him etc. This young team needs those kinds of wins, not we got 2 from an injury depleted squad who thought so little of us they dressed their backup. Losing mentality is contagious and stuff like that works in the minds of players.

So you'd rather get 89 points and miss the playoffs by a point playing teams at their full than have 91 points and make the playoffs by beating Vancouver without Boeser today? I get what you're thinking, but points are what's needed. Not moral victories. You sound a bit like the players after games the past few years. F that. Give me points and playoffs and big shiny. Do you REALLY think Carolina cares that they barely beat us down 5 defensemen in the conference finals and then went on to win the Cup over the joke of an Edmonton team? I highly doubt it ever crosses THEIR minds. Only ours.
Until the Sabres continue to beat backups with regularity, they will see a lot of them. Once they do, teams will adjust. Schedule also has a part to play in it, but that's out of anyone's control. Price has been refried shit the past year+. Putting 6 on him(in OT) doesn't really say all that much. You kind of contradicted yourself as well. If teams are so even skill wise, then why would it matter if stars are missing from a lineup? You put the onus on coaching, consistency, leadership, and depth. (though depth is a product of skill, and therefore not logical to put on the other side of that ledger) Why would backups matter if you make this claim?
And finally you talk about a losing mentality. Wouldn't winning at all costs against any type of opponent be the most important factor in that? Not supposed "better" victories? It isn't often said that a team has points against xx teams in yy games BUT THOSE TEAMS WEREN'T AT FULL HEALTH! It's just results.

Our division is murderers row. Its Its looking like theres a good chance both wildcard spots go to Atlantic teams. I hope we can fight off both Montreal and Florida as I am sure DET and OTT will be 7-8 in our division. I think 4th place in our division will all but guarantee playoff spot and 5th will likely get one too.

It's pretty much saying they want a list of who's untouchable in a trade for Willy.
