I believe. Wrap your head around that one for a moment ? Quote

Pimlach Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 He seemed to start out pretty good in a Buffalo, even took some of the kids under his wing. Clearly, the guy was depressed. Being “home” and being with friends and family should never be underestimated. Money does not buy happiness and lots of rich and famous people have tragic lives. Best wishes to him. 6 Quote

SwampD Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 He’s f’n 30 years old. All he had to do was wait four or five years until the NHL was done with him to “find himself”. ...And bullshizz it had nothing to do with the Sabres or Buffalo. He can suck it. 1 Quote
darksabre Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 I'm really surprised by your feelings on this Swamp. Quote

From personal experience I know that some are heavier than others. He had every right to do what he’s done. As a Sabres fan, I have every right to not wish him the best as we mis the playoffs yet again. and I do wish him the best,... quitter. 1 1 Quote

Kruppstahl Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 On the bright side, at least he did not quit on the team between periods of a game while it was being played. LOL! Quote

nfreeman Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Swamp -- I understand the feelings of betrayal, and I agree that the Sabres suffered a loss relative to what they were hoping to get in trade, but it's not like he misrepresented himself to JB in trying to get a big FA deal. He's also not asking for anyone's sympathy or money. And he apologized to the team and the fans and said the team did everything right. It sounds like the guy was already going through some depression, got blindsided by the trade and pretty much had a major breakdown that most likely had his loved ones very concerned he was close to jumping off a bridge, and they all decided it would be best for him to go home and have his homies around him 24/7 to make sure he keeps it together. You're a good man. Wish him a healthy recovery and be done. Quote
Darryl Shannon's +/- Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 What's odd about this - his decision to walk away was viewed by most as a positive if you are only looking at dollars and cents. I wish him the best going forward, and admire someone who can walk away from more money than almost all of us would earn in a lifetime. Quote
Radar Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Swamp, you may be a great hockey fan, but not a very sensitive one. Quote

SwampD Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Lol. I’ve already shown that I’m mostly funnin with this. I really am. As a human being, I’ve already wished him the best, and I really do. But,... As a Sabres fan, I’m sick of always having to take the high road and he can suck it. And I truly wonder if he would have quit on another team,... as a Sabres fan. Also, as a Sabres fan, I wonder if St. Louis had some idea that this was a thing and jobbed us somehow. Quote

I've wondered about that part too. Even if he didn't have a problem prior to the trade, maybe their taking advantage of the situation with his NMC caused the issues he developed. And the thing that convinces me he's being truthful about his feelings about the Sabres and Buffalo....he actually said nice things about about the players, the organization, and getting help. He said nothing good about STL. Quote

Yeah the really pieces of value in the trade were Tage and the pick. We took on Berglund and Sabotka to make the deal happen. Quote
Stoner Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Phil mentioned an "unfortunate incident." Missing the flight? I hope it wasn't more than that, but I'm afraid it was. We'll probably never know. Hope he's OK. Quote
wonderbread Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 I’m at peace with his decision as well. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Wonderful. wonderful ... wonderbread. Quote
