Since the draft is tomorrow, seems like now is as good a time as any to start a new thread for the new season.

Report: Sabres' O'Reilly charged with impaired driving after hitting coffee shop

Ryan O'Reilly may have gotten a little carried away at the cottage.

The Middlesex County branch of the Ontario Provincial Police has charged the Buffalo Sabres forward with impaired driving, according to Craig Needles of 980 News. O'Reilly was charged after he allegedly hit a Tim Hortons location in Lucan, Ont., with his pickup truck around 4 a.m. on Thursday.

"We're very concerned about the number of impaired drivers out there," OPP Constable Liz Melvin told reporters. "We encourage everyone to make alternative arrangements and not choose to drive with any amount of alcohol in their system."

O'Reilly was born in nearby Clinton, Ont., and has a cottage on Lake Huron. He is scheduled to appear in court in London, Ont., on August 20.

O'Reilly was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct in 2014. Buffalo acquired the 24-year-old from the Colorado Avalanche in June and signed him to a seven-year contract extension with an average annual value of $7.5 million.

Sources: Patrick Kane target of rape investigation

Patrick Kane, the Chicago Blackhawks star who grew up in South Buffalo, is the target of a rape investigation by Hamburg police for an incident that occurred over the last weekend, two law enforcement sources have told The Buffalo News.

A local woman has accused Kane of a sexual assault, the sources said.

The law enforcement sources said the woman went to a hospital and tests using a rape kit were performed.

Kane, 26, has a home in Hamburg. He has not been charged with any crime.

The News also learned from a law enforcement official that at least one other local police agency has been asked to assist with the investigation, and the other police agency was told the investigation involves an allegation against Kane. The agency was told that Roseanne Johnson, chief of the Erie County District Attorney’s Special Victims Bureau, is the prosecutor assigned to the case.

On Wednesday, both Hamburg Police Chief Gregory G. Wickett and the Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said they could neither confirm nor deny the existence of the investigation.

Paul J. Cambria Jr., a defense lawyer who represented Kane in the past, declined to comment Thursday. When contacted Wednesday, Cambria said: “I have nothing to say.”

Cambria represented Kane in a 2009 case involving an altercation with a Buffalo cabdriver.

In that case, Kane and his cousin pleaded to disorderly conduct, a noncriminal violation, after the two were accused of assaulting a taxi driver in his cab on the morning of Aug. 9, 2009.

The National Hockey League said Thursday it was aware of the police investigation.

“We are aware of the police investigation and are following developments,” said the NHL’s Frank Brown, group vice president of communications.

The Blackhawks had a similar response: “We are aware of the matter and are in the process of gathering information. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”

Kane is scheduled to bring the Stanley Cup to Buffalo this weekend as part of the Blackhawks’ victory celebration.

The News went to Kane’s Hamburg home Wednesday morning to seek his comment but was denied access by a man at the house who did not identify himself.

A reporter asked the same man working at the home if he could leave a card to speak with Kane but was denied and told to leave the property.

Two sources said Hamburg police officials have forbidden their officers and detectives from publicly discussing the investigation.

“We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a criminal investigation until such a time as a person is charged with a crime,” said Hamburg Police Chief Gregory G. Wickett.

Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III used very similar language when asked about an investigation.

“We neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of an investigation until such time as someone has been charged with a crime,” Sedita said.

Wickett denied The News access to the police blotter for the weekend but suggested The News file a Freedom of Information Law request.

The News presented him with two FOI requests, one seeking complaints or reports filed with the department for a specific period of time and the other seeking any complaints or reports involving Kane for that same period of time.

But it may be some time before The News can see whether a complaint was filed. The town has 20 days to accept or reject the request.

Would anyone on here like to join an established fantasy/dynasty league? The league has one opening, its a 20 team league, 40 roster players with 35 keepers and 5 from the draft. If that sounds good to anyone I can send a link to the league and the team you would take over, currently named the Boston Bruins, but you can change the name to any of the 10 NHL team names that are not taken.

They're alright. Much better than their primary home/roads. Those things need to go ASAP, imo. One of, if not the, last Edge-piping victims still standing.

Side note, the Ducks' new thirds also leaked today:

Kane investigation is getting bizarre.

Attorney for the alleged victim is giving a presser saying the rape kit that was performed was stolen from police custody and placed at the alleged victims mothers doorstep. He's speculating that the evidence bag that was holding the rape kit was torn open and tampered with. He's asking for an independent investigation of law enforcement charged with storing the rape kit.

The attorney representing the accuser of Blackhawk Patrick Kane said at news conference Wednesday afternoon that the evidence bag containing the rape kit performed on the woman was anonymously delivered to the front door of her mother’s home Tuesday.

“This is no hoax,” attorney Thomas J. Eaonnou said. The evidence bag had been torn open and folded into small squares as if it were being thrown out.
