During the Buffalo/Florida game a couple years ago when Richard Zednik's neck was cut, Florida had trailed 3-1, but had come back to tie it. Sabres went on the PP halfway into the 3rd and got the lead back. Less than a minute later, Zednik was cut.

I remember not wanting to see the Sabres score on them after that because the game had gotten very active and both teams were fighting hard, but after the cut, Florida was mentally done. The Sabres scored on the PP in the last 2 minutes. Final 5-3 Buffalo.

Granted it was only 1 goal and both teams DID decide to continue, but the victory felt cheap.

I remember when Kotalik scored, no one celebrated the goal. They didn't even gather for a post-goal group hug.

:( That was the first Sabres win I ever saw at HSBC Arena. Not to mention Kaleta's first NHL goal.

That's how I think when someone dies, I believe there is something after life, you may not, but when someone dies from a suicide, her life must have been pretty shitty on Earth for her to do that. Now she's in no pain from anything anymore.

And Powerplayer, life still moves on from everything, the people who let everything build up and never see the good in anything are the ones who are nothing and won't ever be anything in life anymore.

You don't mourn over her death, you celebrate the life she lived. Don't like my ways of thinking about death, don't try and change them or talk to me about them, because that's how it is. Celebrate the life, not be sad in the death.


Have you ever heard of something called a mourning period? When someone close to your, or close to someone you know dies, you don't just jump back on the horse and think that everything is just fine and dandy. It's an open wound that you can't just magically pretend isn't there. You make a good point that they should celebrate the life she lived, but I imagine most people (clearly you must be an exception) would have a hard time doing that before they properly mourned the death of that person. Getting past the death of a person is a process, so don't shit on people for having a difficult time getting through that process.

Not to mention, given this was a death from suicide, I imagine it's a lot harder to deal with. Hell, when I was 10 years old, my brothers friend committed suicide. I didn't know the girl all that well, but I had talked to her a few times and I knew she was really nice. When I found out she committed suicide, it was really tough. I remember being really upset for a while. At that age, I couldn't even quite understand the concept, but knowing someone had purposefully ended their life is a tough thing to process, regardless of how well you may know the person. I understand you're trying to make a point that people need to move on or else they'll be trapped in a world of pain or whatever. However, you don't just move on RIGHT AFTER THE MEMORIAL SERVICE. So, please, get off your high horse and realize that hockey NEVER comes first in this kind of situation.

So does your mentality of celebrating the journey and not pining over the ending to something apply to relationships too?

Or in that instance is whining in the Random Thought Thread for a month more appropriate?

This bs idea that the Canes should have ran the score up, and celebrated like it was 1999 is so fucking retarded(because it wasn't their fault). Let me put this in perspective. If your daughter hung herself, and then on your first day back to work everyone was acting like a douche, you just might lose it. Heck, if your boss yells at you the same day your dog dies, you aren't going to be like , "it's not his fault I'm having a bad day, so go ahead and be a douche". First of all running up the score is unsportsmanlike, and secondly, showing no compassion is unforgivable. Compassion is ALWAYS expected, no matter who's at fault, or whatever the circumstances(even if it is the almighty hat-trick).

It's a business. I wouldn't let up, they get paid millions to put the puck in the net. The coach should have spent more time with the family imo.

They get paid millions to WIN. They did that long before they had 7 goals.

Athletes aren't all robotic muscleheads. They can think outside the "score-score-score" box while a game is s going on. It's kinda common knowledge that it is considered unsportsmanlike to unnecessarily run up a score on an opponent. If anything, it makes the winner look more like a bully.

I remember the Sabres getting some criticism for putting their #1 PP squad on the ice late in that 10-goal game against Atlanta 3 seasons ago. While it was no doubt a release after a horrendous 10-game losing streak, it didn't seem fun after goal #6 or #7. By goal #9 & #10 it just seemed uncool, almost embarrassing for both teams (for different reasons).

As long as they're not brawling on the ice for not apparent reason then they aren't being just robotic muscleheads. If the puck is on my stick i'm not going to lob the puck on net, or make a dumb pass. I'd be mad as a Carolina fan if they didn't continue to produce opportunities. I pay to see them score and put an exciting product on the ice.

Where exactly are you going with this statement? I don't want to jump to a conclusion.

who the hell cares anymore? the score of a hockey game isnt going to bring that girl back, and i highly doubt richardson even cares about that game.

poor taste? maybe. but it doesnt matter.

an act of pity (in ceding the game) would have been taken as poor taste as well. it is somewhat comforting to know that the players probably weren't in the game because of what happened. it shows that they do have emotion, rather than being robots that can bottle up their feelings and transfix them onto a game.

Yeah I think at 5-1 with about six minutes to go, there was no need for staal to get his hattrick. Dump the puck in instead of rushing up to create a 2 on 1 situation

I read it as he thought the coach shouldn't have been back behind the bench yet.

You're correct sir. I know proffesional sports demand your constant attention and presence, but i don't think i'd be able to give my full focus to the team that soon.
