This penalty is absurd. There is no way that is a penalty let alone a major? All because of a chicken shit play by Kristian Kovacik. Reaching, turning, and bailing out.
10 years ago, Red Kelly presented me with this amazing silver stick for my 1000th game in the NHL. Mr Kelly was the 1st Maple Leaf to ever play his 1000th game with The buds. And I was the the 21st player to achieve that too.
My heart breaks with the passing of one of my heroes.
I turned the big 5-0 yesterday. I am so grateful for having such amazing friends and the best family. But… my first day of being 50, I was having breakfast this morning on a patio and a seagull shit on my arm and omelette. A direct hit. Is this good luck? Or is this a bad omen?

These men are the finest of us all They are deployed in the Middle East and are repping the Sabres. God bless you guys and your brothers and sisters. Sending prayers from Sabre nation.Let’s catch a game when you’re back. We’ll fire up the boys
Fantastic Video! I feel so proud to have been a part of The Sabres history. As a player, as an analyst, and a member of the Buffalo community. Wonderful memories indeed.

Good luck this season!

Thanks Paul. Marchand is a great player (I like watching him) but I’d kick the living shit out of him if he licked me or one of my teammates. What a knob!
Gross Misconduct, under which Marchand's licking of opponents to incite them could easily have been classified, was eliminated from NHL Rule Book. Broader interpretation of current misconduct rules could be feasible. At absolute least, unsportsmanlike conduct + 10 min misconduct
I actually never retired. However my phone stopped ringing and my hockey career ended. To make it official, Thank you to my teammates, fans, friends, family, and organizations that I played for. And, The

“Hey Peter, don’t swing your stick if you’re not ready to defend yourself.” What a joke! Mrazek deserves a punch in the head. And his teammates should be embarrassed! No one stepped up.
30 years ago today, Brad May eliminated the Bruins in overtime, but the goal is best remembered for Rick Jeanneret’s iconic call: “MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! BRAD MAY WINS IT IN OVERTIME!”

We’re so happy for you Dale. We love what you stand for. We love the impact you have made in our lives. You were one of the biggest influences in my career, and we couldn’t be happier to hear that you have battled and gotten through your struggles with grace.

Today my dad finished his final round of chemo Protocol in Barrie. Got to ring the “Bell of Hope” on his way out. “We hope” this is the end of a long journey but he’s ready for anything. Thanks to everyone who has reached out. Means the world to us.Thinking of you all

Boarding a flight now back to Buffalo, Looking forward to celebrate The Sabres 50th Anniversary, cant wait to see a bunch of my former teammates and friends. It’s 90s day on Saturday.
Interesting stats. For all parents that read this, allow your children the chance to play, and most importantly have fun playing hockey. It's the friendships that are most important
.how are you doing? Just checking in on all my friends. If you need an ear? Respond to this tweet. Times are tough, winter is upon us. If you need support? You’re never alone. Let’s start checking in on our friends. Cheers everyone
And while we're at it, Alex Mogilny should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame, end of story. 1032 career points, 1st European captain, first Soviet to defect to NHL (which had to be terrifying for a 20 year old), 76 goal season, Stanley Cup winner, and best five hole shot of all time.
Dan any player that laces them up is now an equal. It shouldn’t matter if your 19 or 40, play the game and whatever happens, happens. The kid got rocked and deserved it. Hone your skills son. “Don’t write a check your butt can’t cash”
Playoff hockey. The best.
Question for you. It's the big leagues. It's the big leagues in a new era. 18 & 19 yr olds are very much an important part of the NOW. Should a 33 yr old Captain & Cup winner tell a 19 yr old in that moment. "Nope, sorry kid I won't do this to you" What does 8 prove? Thoughts?
I could watch old Pavel Datsyuk highlights all day long. What an incredible player. The laugh in the first clip is very fitting because this entire reel is hilarious
Not sure what the NHL thinks about this hit, but I love it. I’m sick of players cutting into the middle of the ice with no awareness. Get your head up, there are other players on the ice. Especially backcheckers.
Congrats Doaner! And thank you for inviting myself and a bunch of your teammates to share this prestigious honour with you. Being on the ice last night with you, your family and all of these guys will rank as one of my favourite NHL moments.

The reference I made to a woman’s “prime” this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it. A woman’s age doesn't define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day.
Uh oh! Where are all of my friends on twitter who hate physical hockey? I’m sure you all will denounce this too. C’mon weigh in. If you do though? Please unfollow me.

Bob, I was 38 yrs old traded to Toronto, after a week in hotel, Luke invited me to move in with him. He was 18/19 at the time. He’s a quality person 100%. One of my favourite teammates I had
I'm not qualified to tell you about Luke Schenn's hockey skills, but I can tell you that he is one of the nicest, most loyal people you will ever meet and the greatest guy to have as a friend.
Amazing revelation tonight. I’m into my bottle of wine and said “It’s Saturday night, of course I can have another glass” my kids at the same time said “dad it’s Tuesday. Oh sorry it’s Monday.” We have no idea what day it is. Groundhog Day on repeat.
Happy Thanksgiving Canada! I am so proud to be one of your sons. And Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian brothers and sisters. Wishing you you all good health and happiness.
9am and “not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse” Amazing how Christmas morning now with kids over 20 is so quiet. Probably because we’re all nursing our hangovers 😨
9 years ago today, I had the honour of playing my 1000th game in the NHL. Alongside me, my family was there too. Couldn't have got there without them.

Hey Idiot. I’ve played in both and a legal hit is a legal hit. Get your head out of your ass. I’m tired of people like you beaking off. A by the way that way a chicken shit play
Fought Rick four times that year. He was one of my favourite players growing up. I made promise to my brother that I was going to fight my idol when I made the NHL. 4 times a charm. He’s still one of my favourites! and I have a sweet scar above my right eye too to always remember
One of the coolest things about being an NHLer is you can make kids smile and maybe inspire them to chase their dreams.

We haven’t had Toilet Paper for close to a month. (baby wipes)
But I asked a buddy why all of the TP has been bought up. I asked are people crazy and hoarding? He said “think about it, when someone sneezes or coughs in public, at least 10 people SHIT themselves.” That’s funny 😂
Well said. And if you need a guy who can throw with both hands? I’m with you. (I’m just a tad out of shape though) And
@ryanwhitney6
still has poop in his pants. 😂
Because he wasn’t my teammate anymore. I was traded, not my choice. In 24 hours I fly across NA and have 23 new teammates expecting me to be THEIR teammate. I wasn’t a Sabre anymore. I was a Canuck.

Doesn’t look like the best stride, but I was faster than I looked in this picture. Haha. Makes me laugh every time I see it.
We won the Gold Medal in Saskatoon, Canada. Awesome memories from the greatest hockey tournament!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends and colleagues. Have a wonderful day with your families and friends. If you’re alone today? Bunker down and watch Planes, Trains , and Automobiles. It’s always a funny movie
I saw Steve Thomas the other day. It made me think. He retired very quietly from the NHL. There will be no Hall of Fame for him. Played 20 seasons in the NHL. Was never sent down to minors. It’s such an amazing feat. Not bad for a kid from England.
