That rumor makes absolutely zero sense for the Sabres. Sure, it would bring in Heatley, but this team is short on centers already. They make that one and Connolly is the only top end center left on the team. The risk there is through the roof. Kassian is at best two years away. He will never play with Grier. Myers more than likely won't either.

The rumor where Buffalo would throw in some extra pieces so that Heatley could go to San Jose? That one never seemed all that realistic to me. I can't see the Sabres having any interest in the salaries San Jose would have to drop to make that happen.

Looking at the article posted below, those comments definitely weren't slams at management as he left. They've been exaggerated over the years. Nothing new there. This team desperately needs a shut down line and hopefully this will help out in that department. Any combination of Grier-Gaustad-Hecht-Paille seems a hell of a lot better than anything they were throwing out there last year.

So this is a bit of a stretch, but I'll throw this possibility out there. Tipping is not required, so if they gave him the money and he refused to give their $1.20 in change after they asked for it, he was technically stealing from them, right?

If he threw punches, sure. I'd rather hear a bit more of the story as opposed to the initial lynch mob mentality that came out in day one.

The idea that he left on bad terms always seem overblown to me. The story that the Sabres offered the same money to Grier always seemed like a face-saving move by Buffalo to me.

I mention the salary because I can't see how a jury would ever buy it, especially since he wasn't the one with the money (unless there's other money I haven't seen mentioned anywhere). As for the assault, I don't have a clue.

I'm not sure where the mugging thing comes from. Even the driver's story makes it clear that this isn't what happened. The only actual mentioning of money was the torn $5 bill they found on the cousin, so how exactly does that implicate Pat Kane, an accomplice? I can't see that charge ever standing, especially when we're talking about $5 and a professional athlete with an $850K plus incentives salary. Assualt? Fine, but mugging is more than a stretch.

He's "famous" and he may have punched a guy. I say crucify him.

Nice assumption there. Personally, I don't trust them. I've seen cabbies demand a larger tip when the fare came out to 6 and change and I gave them a 10. Most of them, from my experience, are money gougers. Obviously that doesn't excuse the actions of the Kanes, but I think it's pretty clear that the story was exaggerated a bit. They always are.

Not that it changes anything, but I guarantee that the cabbie made that part up. They paid him and then he didn't offer them any change at all (yeah, that whole extra dollar, big deal), then it got ugly. Those cabbies just assume they're keepign the money the second you hand it to them. He created that little detail about the 20 cents so they'd look even worse than they already do.

Yeah, I'm not even sure how many changes they've made over the years, but the removable plates was the best improvement they could've made. It's such a simple idea, but the guy who thought it up better have received a ton of money for it.

I'm picturing a snobby english accent.

So which of those labels do you fall under?

Hey, at least he got the exclamation point in there. So if this guy is such a scumbag agent, who else does he represent? So far we've listed 3 clients.

Yeah, I can tell from the ads I've seen on tv. But really, time traveling in a chick flick? It just comes off as incredibly stupid to me. If anything, they're at best stuff I'll wait to see on tv. Nothing has caught my eye recently. Public Enemies was the only one I was even considering at any point (and probably because of your thread).

That may be one of the most mindnumbingly stupid sentences I've ever read. I'd except something like that from a random sci-fi thriller movie, but not a chick flick. I'm sure they're trying to lure a few guys in, but they'll see right through it. This will make two months in a row where I don't see any movies.

That's a shame. It was this picture.

You wrote it as one sentence! It didn't need another "!"!

This will help.

Fixed!

You would appreciate my profile picture and tagline over on the sabrespace board.

They take this stuff away at the security check long before the people get on the flights. It's only going to serve as a distraction if they have to call someone in to take the item over to some special area.

Nevermind any fun that might have happened during the trip, I love how this somehow ruined the entire vacation.

SKRAPPY would've been the perfect way to go. Would he also need 3 or 4 newer posters who support everything he says?
