That's soothing.

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.

You're entitled to your opinions but they were and still are absurd. Is Dougie Hamilton also a headcase?

This is comical, relax people. Dude made a mistake. Don't like you've never gotten behind the wheel when you shouldn't have.

Was this a stupid incident sure, but relax.

 

[Zip15]

what? like the entire contract situation with Colorado?

Are you saying there's a nexus between drunk driving and contract disputes in professional sports?

 

[Dubi Doo]

I've made mistakes in the past that I'm ashamed of today, so can't say he's a POS; that'd be hypocritical of me. But i will say this was an idiotic move that's going to bring a lot of bad press his way, and will become a distraction for teammates.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come.

Pegula may be thinking twice about owning sports teams.

FWIW, if Canadian laws are like NY laws, impaired (rather than under the influence) means buzzed, not wasted. 2 beers with dinner could get someone into the "impaired" zone.

That said, driving into a Tim Hortons makes me think it was more than a buzz

Yeah, since these things happen only to Buffalo sports...

But how many of us have HIT A BUILDING and then left the scene????


EDIT: And for the record, I never have.

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.

I didn't know about the fleeing part at first.

So his contract is getting terminated right?

WAIT

Didn't calculate the double standard of NHL hockey. When you're good, nothing matters!

Really ****ing stupid. Don't know what the usual range of punishments for this stuff is in Canada, but I'd guess a fine and taking a class or something easy.

Should probably at the very least suspend his license and make him take some sort of alcohol related course(s).

I assume this is sarcasm, but no.

Yeah, no, I haven't.

He just signed a $52 million contract. He hasn't played a single game for this franchise yet and he pulls this. How he can be this stupid is way beyond me.

No way.

 

[DearDiary]

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

Leaving the scene of a crime is a big deal in Canada, and they don't care if you're a politician, athlete or rich

According to the report, he was booked for blowing "over 80 mgs"

Which is over .08 BAC


And we as of yet don't know just how high over .08 he blew.

No I never have. Neither has anyone in my family or close group of friends..

What a stupid thing to say.

So you're attacking me after you say you're not attacking me. Come on Paxon, you're better than that.

Are you saying there's a nexus between drunk driving and contract disputes in professional sports?

No. But it's clear that he is full of himself. And now he's in trouble with the law. What's next for him? Banging a Pegula daughter?

Thanks for leaving out the rest of my post where I said it was a stupid mistake.

Doesn't mean he should be considered a POS.

 

[Djp]

He could get a bunch of promo dollars for TimBits.....

 

[paulmm3]

Not a great look for Mr. I-want-more-of-a-leadership-role

 

[StuckOutHere]

No way.

Oh yeah, because he is good at hockey. Forgot the rules apply differently to players who are good.
