#freejame

In favor of whom?

It took six weeks for my fracture to be spotted and by that time it was too late for surgery.

It’s simple—he’s a fraud.

The players will strike if they try to get rid of guaranteed contracts.

Don’t forget unlikable!

Keep Quinn away from this ***** show.

Sounds like he’s a My Pillow branded as down but in reality it’s down alternative.

If RK can’t get confidence out of Eichel what the ***** is he here for? It’s certainly not Xs and Os. What an embarrassment. My 15 year old little brother, with an 8 foot Eichel fat head, has completely turned on him. Says he doesn’t play like anyone worth looking up to anymore. Eichel is a down pillow.

Uh...where’s the rest of the return?

At this point Jack Eichel would be lucky to be Sobel.

This is ***** ridiculous

Unless he is in pain every pump. Hard skating (and running) causes me shoulder pain for the very same reason.

One of my favorite players since his tenure began. Hoping for the best for him.

I can’t wait to read Skinner’s Player Tribune article once this is all said and done

I voted for Ray but I always love the opportunity to tell this story. Young #freejame was at the Pepsi center for a practice when Buffalo was still skating there. I had finished up my ice and was headed to the second story to watch the sabres practice. I was headed off the elevator as Ray was headed on and obviously I was moving to get off as the person exiting had the right of way. He started yelling at us and berating us for being in his way as he was entering the elevator to head downstairs. I’ll never forget that. He was a favorite of mine before they interaction but I have utterly despised him ever since. There is nothing he could do to win me back over and if he lost all association with the team it would be my highlight of the decade. ***** Rob Ray and his utter lack of manners and ill treatment to a kid, I have wished nothing but failure on him since that day. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I’ve coached on the same ice as Matt Barnaby and he embraced and guided every kid on the ice. He truly cared about impacting the kids and was everything Ray was not. Elevators 101—those getting off have the right of way. If an 8 year old knows that a professional athlete ten years in the league should. I relished every beat down he got after the fact. Again, ***** Rob Ray. My least favorite Sabre of all time.

Read what I wrote. “He’s got the same shot as when we drafted him.” We were able to draft him in the seventh because he was short. I would hope he would progress in other areas, but the shot is the same—which is what everyone talks about. Sam has still progressed more than him. Go watch SHL footage.

I don’t hate RJ but I’m also pretty vocal about his inability to call a game and need to be replaced.

I gotcha, thanks. I think I would agree with you. The teachers union serves the teachers, but teachers should serve students. Creates an interesting dynamic.

Not trying to be rude but what is this supposed to mean? I coach youth sports to be there for the kids. Isn’t that the job of a teacher?

A team with 12 Sam Reinhart’s at forward beats a team with 12 VO at forward 82 games in a season and it’s honestly not even close. I’m not a “if you disagree with me you’re wrong” type of guy so I’ll say if you disagree hook me up with your guy because I want whatever you’re taking.

Show me one person projecting VO to be better than Reinhart. I’ll wait.

Just a friendly reminder that everyone knew VO had this shot when he was drafted, he was just 5’6”. I don’t buy the whole “he’s developed more than Samson” BS. He’s the exact player who was drafted only 5 inches taller.

As if a Pegula will ever speak to the media about the Sabres. Pretty sure they knows better than that.

Give him the John Mayer 3x5 special because that’s how he’s playing.

So, more or less, the fruits of his labor were given to GMTM. The issue is the period beforehand when he had nobody coming in to provide support. Our drafts in the early 2000s are terribly ugly. Knowing what you know now, would you have kept Darcy at the helm?
