Less than two weeks after signing a seven year contract extension worth $52.5-million, Buffalo Sabres centre Ryan O’Reilly has been charged with impaired driving after a pickup truck collided with a Tim Hortons in Lucan, Ont.

*sigh*

I thought this was a joke when I saw it. Unfortunately, it's true.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Great Start to your career here ! ****ing idiot

That was exactly my thought. I was like "OK, what fake news agency is reporting this".

Noooooooope.


One Buffalo, right?

 

[Paxon]

Smh...

 

[Paneerboy]

Partied too hard after that contract

 

[Chainshot]

Wow.

 

[haseoke39]

And then he fled the scene on foot?? ******-tastic.

I'm pretty sure taking out a Tim Horton's is a maximum sentence crime in Canada.

 

[Beerz]

Not a smart move.... but not a big deal either.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Way to show the young guys the path Ryan.

Oh.

That changes things.

Just to be clear, you don't "collide with" a Timmy Ho's, you crash into it.

At least he fled the scene and ditched his car before being arrested.

 

[Afino]

What's his Corsi on DUI's? I bet it's high.


Any questions on why I didn't want this guy? Headcase. Drunk driver. Idiot.

 

[Tapu Coco]

What is it with people driving into restaurants?

But that's beside the point of course, my reaction is the same as yours

 

[Beerz]

Quick Murray... Terminate his contract!

 

[Myllz]

Atta boy, Ryan.

 

[Zman5778]

Quick Murray... Terminate his contract!

Is it bad if my first thought was "I wonder if TM is thinking of terminating that contract???"

This really is why we can't have nice things.

I don't know what the laws are like in Canada, but in most states in the United States, it is a misdemeanor hit and run when it only involves property damage. So the punishment is usually just a large fine and possible jail time of up to a year.

Don't know what the law is like in Canada though, but i would think they would be similar.

ROR will probably just have to pay a fine and do community service. Still did a stupid thing nonetheless.

Way to make a first impression, ROR.

Just to be clear, you don't "collide with" a Timmy Ho's, you crash into it.

Must prefer either Dunkin or Starbucks for his coffee needs.

 

[Weaves]

what an idiot.

As if you had any supporting evidence behind calling him a "headcase"

 

[haseoke39]

Not a smart move.... but not a big deal either.

Getting pulled over for blowing a .08 by a drink or two is "not a big deal."

Crashing into a building and then abandoning the car to flee on foot is actually a pretty big deal.

Way to show the young guys the path Ryan.

That's the part that bothers me more - he's been so highly coveted because of the influence he'll have on the youngsters, both in work ethic and hatred of losing. These kinds of mishaps chip away at the credibility O'Reilly should have and bring with him as someone who said he wanted more of a leadership role with a new team.

 

[Afino]

As if you had any supporting evidence behind calling him a "headcase"

what? like the entire contract situation with Colorado?

 

[Fearnot]

Looking back on it Zadorov sleeping in doesn't seem like such a big character issue as this.
