ROR arrested for impaired driving; trial date set for July 11-12

[phosphene*]

It's going to make for one awkward presser, that's for sure.

 

[Paxon]

what? like the entire contract situation with Colorado?

Yes, for example that. Contract negotiations somehow indicate someone is a headcase.

 

[Dex]

Any border crossing issues anticipated with this offense on his record?

 

[Moskau]

All you can do is laugh. It's such a Buffalo thing to have happen.

 

[boots electric]

i had this guy pegged for a restuarant-crasher the moment he signed that offersheet from calgary!

 

[Afino]

Yes, for example that. Contract negotiations somehow indicate someone is a headcase.

When your contract negotiations go so far south that it causes the franchise to trade away an ELITE 24 YEAR OLD CENTER (according to everyone), yep, headcase.


Already this idiot isn't worth the trouble.

 

[jBuds]

Unbelievable.

 

[Sabretip]

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.

Agreed - and what if it turns out to be even more?:

After the collision, police say a suspect drove the vehicle southbound on Saintsbury Line, before abandoning it and travelling by foot with another, unnamed, male occupant.

The vehicle was located on Harold Court, while both occupants were found on Main Street.

[MOD]

Bet Murray wishes he had the intro news conference with ROR and the media earlier - now, with the odds of the TBN crew raising this incident as a topic in any PC, I'd bet the Sabres postpone any introduction of ROR altogether and just let him arrive when camp opens.

Pegs needs a fixer on call, like Ray Donovan or the Wolf in Pulp Fiction.

Next thing we know, details come out that Eichel was with him

 

[cybresabre]

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

You'd be surprised. I work in a big red building and sober people occasionally forget that reverse means backwards. They collide with it, they don't necessarily crash into it.

 

[jBuds]

So it happened three nights ago?

 

[Havok89]

Came here to post this exact thing.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Very bad move. Cant even come for a press conference and now this. Great start.

 

[haseoke39]

More details could still come out.

That said:

Maybe half the population has at some point gotten behind the wheel of a car when they'd had a drink or two and, whether they were completely sober or not, felt like they weren't impaired and maybe weren't.

A very, very small percentage of the population has ever driven so drunk that they hit a building, and then tried to escape.

This is not a little thing. This is a he's lucky a little girl wasn't standing where that wall was thing. It might warrant a team intervention, a screening to make sure he doesn't have a problem, a mandatory reporting thing. And after fleeing the scene, it might put him in jail.

Again, based on this story, and acknowledging more details may change our understanding of what happened.

 

[jBuds]

This blows my mind.

First: what 24-year olds don't drink? Not many.

Second: how many 24-year olds are locked in to a $52M contract? Not many.

Get someone to drive you around.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

GOAT

But In all seriousness He is still young and ****ed up

No one was hurt but if you're rich just have someone drive you.

Plus if stoll can carry a freakin shipment of coke and still be allowed to play, a little chuck of ROR contract can't fix this.

He's lucky no one was hurt. (see heatley, dany)

Right? Doesn't this guy have a Turtle in his entourage?

 

[MCDJr244]

Really stupid move by ROR. Let's not like act like he killed somebody though. Hasek got busted if you recall.

 

[sabresfan129103]

You gotta be ****ing kidding me. He gets a huge contract and he pulls this ****. Unbelievable.

 

[Namejs]

What a ****ing div.

Terminate the contract and then re-sign him? Is that allowed?

Not sure if relevant, but Jamie McGinn's twitter is also inactive:

i literally can't stop laughing right now

 

[Woodhouse]

I'll never understand how anyone with any sort of means get themselves into this completely avoidable situation. You can easily afford a cab or driver for festive outings. You're only going to make dumber decisions the further you tie one on and colliding into a Tim Hortons at 4AM on a Thursday morning is just the latest example of that.

 

[Brandel*]

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

I'm sorry but how is crashing your vehicle into a restaurant under the influence and fleeing the scene not a big deal? jesus man
