I guess if you say something outrageous enough, you get the benefit of being considered a troll...

Yeah I’d take that bet. I guarantee no one in that locker room will care if he shows up ready to work.

Right about Vesey being a selfish jerk for choosing the Rangers - after his agent made it clear before Murray wasted a draft pick that Vesey planned to rest the market? I’d say Pi has less of a chance of being right, actually. And the entire exercise is a disgrace - remember, his first point in this thread was to express delight that Vesey will be booed on home ice. Please.

This is not trolling, folks. It’s just a bad take.

Huh. Seems like an elaborate waste of everyone’s time...

Have you lost your mind? He was 23, it was his JOB, and it was his decision to make. When I was in my 20s I took an offer to work in a law firm in New York, instead of pursuing opportunities with firms in Buffalo. What a weird world it would be if every time I stepped into the Buffalo Brew Pub, folks turned around and booed me. You know, I usually don’t make it my concern to convince the last lunatic holdout that the Earth is round - but your take is so deranged and cynical, it’s getting to me. This franchise has been shrouded in negativity with all that has transpired over the past several years (LaFontaine, O’Reilly, Lehner, there has been so much), one of the last things we need is a segment of twisted fans booing a 26 year-old kid who happens to be Jack’s buddy and a pending UFA, and who will be wearing the uniform trying to help this wretched organization win games.., In short - you need to check yourself. All of this says a lot more about your character than Jimmy Vesey’s - it’s just entertainment dude.

And just because you CAN boo a 26 year-old kid for a financial decision he made for himself several years ago with limited information, doesn’t mean you SHOULD...

You’re a mess. Some 23 year-old made a life decision you disagree with. Get over it.

He’s also Jack’s buddy right?

And yet ... his songs are still covered. Slowdive’s version of “Golden Hair” proves that Barrett’s genius holds up.

While I think post-Syd Barrett Floyd is overrated, this seems a bit extreme.

I mean, aren’t they all Cozens up there? (I’ll see myself out.)

I don’t understand how Botterill has a job. But then again, a year from now he probably won’t.

Not easy being a fan of this team. Not easy.

I continue to believe, if this doesn’t get done, Botteril is Dead Man Walking. Especially if O’Reilly wins finals MVP.

Well, did they? That would be a sad end to that story - if it turned out they didn't know which decade we were in.

Worse than when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, then.

Probably the worst trade since Long Island was traded for a necklace of shells.

Yet I'm getting right back in line, as always...

They're not booing, they're yelling Kruuuuuuuu-urns.

I like that he’s not a “system guy.” Leverage your strengths, don’t waste too much time on your weaknesses.

The arena is two blocks from Elm Street. Just sayin’....

Botterill is well on his way to ex-GM status. At least Murray's guys are playing well elsewhere.
