He's a kid.
Do you have children?
If you had children you may be a lot more understanding.
I have raised all 6 off mine past Zadarov's age.
Again, "he's a kid", he will get through this immaturity and lack of responsibility, most do at least.

There's a big difference between raising your own kids and "inheriting" one at 18.

Buffalo has banned Nikita Zadorov from playing two times this season for disciplinary reasons, including Sunday's meeting against Nashville.

"Sometimes you're mature in certain things. Sometimes you're not," coach Ted Nolan said. "Unfortunately, we'll have to deal with him. It's tough on the team overall, but like I said I'd rather just not discuss it publicly. We had a number of discussions, and then another thing happened this morning. We'll just talk to him again." The first suspension Zadorov received was given after he reported to the team late from the All-Star break. The 19-year-old defender figures to be a big part of the Sabres' future, so his issues right now are a bit concerning.


He get's things worked out or if not, trade him too. 19 or not you are in the NHL act like it. MacKinnon doesn't have a problem with the AVS.

You missed the "gist" of the post that I emphasized twice.

Kids at that age do not fully comprehend much of anything let alone , responsibility.
I would know, I am a guru on children's behavior only because I have had and raised enough of them.
Most "boys" do not mature until they are close to 25.
Girls are A LOT different.
Zads will come around, most eventually do, some longer than others.

100% correct, your coach is not your babysitter this is the NHL get it together or you're gone.

Oh I agree with the "gist" of what you said. But there are also plenty of unknowns about the kid for me to know for sure that he will come around.

Why arnt' other 19 year olds having issues showing up on time?

The "Potential" better outweigh the mishaps.
- ImThatGuy

Are you really asking that question?

Ummmmm because not every 19 year old boy is the same.

Jesus I can't take even stand this ignorant of a conversation , I need to find the door and let myself out.

Bull sh!!

I drink coffee every morning but that doesn't make me Juan Fukking Valdez !

Send Zadorov to Siberia for punishment.

He's fine. If this continues through the next few years, then there's gonna be a problem.

Bull sh!!
- ImThatGuy

You never answered my question.
Any children?

5 out of the last 7 games Zadorov has played, he has been given less then 16 1/2 minutes of ice time and he is a plus 1 in those 7 games with 4 points (something you should be rewarding a younger player for when the team is poop)

7 points in his last 9 games


IMO this is the bigger issues

Him and Nolan do not see eye to eye

nothing gets older then watching a 250 lb woman smacking her kid around in wal-mart, I tell her to settle down and she asks me "Do you have kids"

That's what I thought.
Okay.
- BuffaloHardHat

you keep hitting on his quote...why?

You say you want a legitimate conversation...I tried.

You say you are a guru on children's behavior...I disagree...you are a guru on your children's behavior. Every parent rears their children differently. I don't know squat about how Zadorov was raised and acts now so I'm not going to convince myself that I'm sure Zadorov is fine.

so I'm not going to convince myself that I'm sure Zadorov is fine.

no clue the extent of the situation

roads could have been bad and Z could have been 2 minutes late and Nolan made an example out of him


if Z is benched Tuesday, there is smoke IMO

She's right.

If you don't have children you have no clue.
Until you wake up 365 days a year and live your life for your children you have no idea what makes a child tick.

So many things that parentless adults think they know about the raising of children or about children when they really have no clue and are just plain ignorant.
Anyone can sit outside in the stands and call a player a bum.

Until you have filled the shoes of being a full time parent , one will never know what it takes.
That's a fact!

I agree...but I'm not going to play therapist and say one way or another.

Ignorance usually does laugh.

I have said what needs to be said on the matter.
