GM Tim Murray fine incoming?

[truthbluth]

To be fair, pro athletes (and management)on Buffalo teams don't actually live in the city of Buffalo....for obvious reasons

To be fair, this statement is baseless, inaccurate, and in no way represents reality...for obvious reasons.

 

[BlueWhite]

Only in Buffalo can you win and still be an embarrassment.Getting booed,Eichel criticizing the fans and now this wierdo remark.

 

[DapperCam]

I've lived in Buffalo my whole life and have never heard this expression. Very strange indeed.

I have never stepped foot in Buffalo so I have no reason to defend it but what an utterly uninformed garbage thing to post. A TON of retired players settle in Buffalo.

 

[Paperbagofglory]

Ive never heard of this expression anywhere. If this is a region based thing then i think i found out why nobody wants to live in Buffalo. Too much pee pee slapping going on.

 

[Inkling]

Maybe it's a Shawville thing? I grew up in Ontario and Quebec and I've heard the term before but it's definitely not common where I've lived, and I certainly have never heard it used in a school or business setting. Maybe file it under another example of 'locker room talk' that escaped. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it, but it's way weird.

Tim Murray after acquiring Evander Kane, "So it wasn’t all unicorns and rainbows and jujubes."

Well, in his defense, he said "the city of Buffalo"... which is true. None of the players or management would actually live IN the city (most parts of it anyways). The surrounding suburbs and communities however are absolutely fantastic places to live.

Most of the players live in the suburbs but Ryan O'Reilly, Sam Reinhart, and Jack Eichel all live downtown.

And I myself prefer downtown to Amherst. The city has changed a lot in the last decade. I used to never walk down Main Street. Now I live on it.

Definitely regional - Buffalo region

I've heard it in Southern California, from different people so it's not regional

Fair enough, I really never trek downtown much outside of Sabres games. I lived in North Buffalo for a while there, around the zoo, which is probably one of the nicer parts of it that I've seen. No complaints.

It's funny but people in the suburbs still have a view of downtown Buffalo from 15 years ago. It's really different and lots of people have moved back in.

Where in all of that does the pee-pee slapping come in?

"Hey Mark you're not gonna get your pee-pee slapped because you missed your deadline. Now I'm going to wag my finger in a sassy way and plant my tongue firmly in my cheek." ?????????

If my boss talked about my "pee-pee" I would feel violated.

Never heard the phrase and my father is 72 years old.

Maybe it's some sort of popular culture for a universally hated group of human beings?

I'm 60 and while I don't use the phrase, it was a very common term used for a mild rebuke back in the '70's and '80's.
I haven't heard it recently,though.
Weird choice of words for sure, but for anyone to be offended by it is even weirder, I think.

 

[dubey]

hahaha wow

 

[heretik27]

I originally thought it had to mean something else before knowing who he was referring to. Something like "Press Pass". Wow, what an awkward thing to say... lmao

 

[slaman]

This thread has made me laugh repeatedly.

If it's a common phrase, I have never heard it in any of the places I've lived (across both coasts, in both countries)

Not offensive... but WOW is it ever weird.

 

[McspOiler]

This thread is comedy gold...

 

[Captain Holt]

This thread reminds me of...


SC - Steamed hams?

PS - It's a regional dialect.

SC - Really, what region?

PS - Upstate New York

SC - Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard the phrase "Steamed Hams"

 

[Sypher04]

You get slapped on the wrist, not the pee-pee

Yes, Murray shoould be fined. By humanity, for being a moron

 

[Sypher04]

Tim Murray is from Canada (and over 45), where it is/was a common enough saying.

I have heard my father (may he RIP) and uncles use it, their friends use it, I have used it, my friends have used it.

I wouldn't use it in front of a microphone though!

Certainly not common in Canada at all. Maybe some places in Canada, sure, but I have been all over this country and never heard it before.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

I don't think it's fine worthy, it's just really creepy and weird. Is he implying other teams' GMs slap their players' pee pees?

 

[Samsonite23]

This thread is hilarious

 

[GellMann]

This is an ongoing thing he's had, he said it before.

Nice thread...

What a weird post.

Marcel Dionne lives here, I think it is, and he never even played here.

What's a Sabre thread without garbage leafs fans coming in and doing their best to **** on the team, city, and people?
