GDT: The Lottery (Eichel is OURS)

[Andrew Amerk]

So then you don't know the context of Murray's remark regarding the fans being disappointed. Perhaps you could have just admitted that instead of projecting your own profound sense of disappointment at not winning the lottery.

 

GO SABRES!!!

You can't be serious. What do you think the comment was about? A comment made right after the draft results? He's disappointed that the fans don't have access to pizza logs at FNC until October???

[...]

That GMTM says stupid things when you put a microphone in front of him?

It's not a stupid thing to say if there's context to make its meaning clear. In the full clip, does Murray provide the context?

Context is now Pee-wee's word of the day.

That comment could be about anything which is why context is important. Until I know what the context is, it's just your incessant need to keep projecting your personal disappointment about having to settle for Eichel. 

 

And most fans with a clue would be more disappointed about not having pizza logs until October than about drafting Jack Eichel. 

 

GO SABRES!!!

If people are disappointed about not getting McDavid we hear you. Buffalo still gets a great player who is going to be a great player in this league. People say Buffalo tanked. Yeah maybe but they striped the entire core out and started a total rebuild almost down to expansion team level. Most teams don't do that. And Murray said he wasn't going to keep UFA's without getting something in return. Tank? No smart, these players weren't doing much for us anyway. So if u think we lost out because we didn't land McDavid then you haven't been watching a lot of either one of these top two players.

“I watch him too much and I think too much about him,” said Murray, who has been scouting teenage N.H.L. prospects for 23 seasons. “I wish I could help myself.”

 

 

WHATS THE CONTEXT THOUGH???

WHATS THE CONTEXT THOUGH???

 

When someone asks you for the quote of an ambiguous quote, it means the surrounding language.  In his press conference, murray said he had no disappointment of the order/players.  He said he was disappointed with the annoying process.  So a quote about being disappointed for fans needs context to mean something.  

 

 

Anyways, you trying to convince others to be disappointing with eichel with goofy quotes and made up goals about the tank isnt fooling anyone.  There are probably a few other people who believe that crap too though

 

 

Be upset about eichel, dont make stuff up

Why do we start picking and choosing quotes from you, Amerk, and responding to those out of context quotes, and then you can let us know if context is important, k?

You're being an a@@h0le for no reason.  People found the quote interesting and were curious to hear what the entire convo surrounding the quote was.  I really don't understand why you are being this defensive or douchey about it.

 

I am re-listening to the entire conference to find this if I can.

He said that weeks ago.

I'm not making anything up. Im only going off of quotes from GMTM himself.

[SabresBillsFan]

Who cares about McDavid anymore. Edmonton is going to pick him. It should be interesting to see if they move someone else for defensive help.

Yeah fans in Buffalo are going to be disappointed. Oh well it's done. We still get Eichel who is a great young player. The NHL should be ashamed because he goes to Edmonton who really isn't in a market to showcase him often.

[Andrew Amerk]

Right! What did he REALLY mean when he said that? Guess we will never know.

Yea and the goal of the tank was to get mcdavid, i got it.  

 

 

 

Be excited for Eichel, there is no reason not to  :beer:

Context is now pee.

Are you saying context is equal to urine? That's pretty ridiculous, as pee is liquid, and context is a non-tangible concept used to describe certain aspects of discourse.

[LGR4GM]

Right! What did he REALLY mean when he said that? Guess we will never know.

We don't even know when or what he was talking about.   he could have been fans are disappointed because of the season.

Thanks, Liger. I'b be interested to know if it's in there. The first time I listened, I didn't hear that. Murray seemed annoyed at the process, but had glowing remarks about Eichel. 

 

GO SABRES!!!

[Johnny DangerFace]

i didnt hear the quote either.  its all over twitter, but no source

 

 

an unknown quote with zero context >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a contradictory fleshed out quote stating the opposite in a press conference

So, are you suggesting someone else is? Who are you calling a liar, exactly? What is your evidence?

[Andrew Amerk]

I wrote that in response to his "I'm obsessed with McDavid" quote.

[French Collection]

At the Frozen Four final, retired BU coach Jack Parker, who recruited Eichel said it was a bit unfair to the kid but compared his playing style to Mario Lemieux.

[K-9]

Right! What did he REALLY mean when he said that? Guess we will never know.

Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean "I'm disappointed for the fans" when he said weeks ago that he can't stop looking at McDavid when he watches him play. I can see how it makes perfect sense for you to just throw random quotes out there and insist they all mean the same thing. You know, for someone making so much fun of Murray's infatuation with McDavid, you sure seem like a jilted prom date since learning we won't be drafting him.

 

GO SABRES!!!

I can't find it.  I keep trying to and I can't find it.

Are you drunk?

 

These are quotes from GMTM.

There's no context to make "The fans should be disappointed" a smart thing to say.  The Sabres did everything they could to suck this year so that they could finish 30th and be in this exact position -- even if it meant making their fans completely miserable a second year in a row.

 

Putting a cherry on that with "The fans should be disappointed" is just a wildly idiotic thing to say.  And, BTW, there was an 80% chance he was going to have to give remarks on this outcome.  And this is what he came up with???  All he had to do was spend 10 minutes this afternoon thinking of a good way to express that the fans and Eichel should all be excited about the future regardless of the Sabres not winning the lottery today.
