100% agree. A boss humiliating his employee in front of his other employees is not acceptable in any workplace environment. Through in a stadium with 15,000 people and tv audiences in Columbus and Buffalo, this is just wrong. If Sam broke a team rule, you tell him to take off his skates and watch from the press box. End of story. This move by Disco is his worst mistake yet. It might get him fired in a week or two.

Maybe, just maybe this wasn't the first instance, and Sam Reinhart needed it.

I know, crazy to think that the kid just might not be an angel.

Crazy to think? No one's an angel, first of all. Second, whether it's the first time or not, name one other instance where a player was disciplined by being allowed to dress for a game and then not being allowed to play, forcing your team to play short-handed.

Name one other time this has been done by a coach and tell me how it turned out, if there even is an example.

This was public humiliation.

Thank god some of us see this how it is.

Funny how some say our generation is handed freebies and don't get the tough love " attitude"

And some people are saying the opposite now


Not you , Beady

They were on the road, Okposo was sick, he dressed in case they had a few injuries and needed to play.

Jesus Christ you are probably more upset than Reinhart

Public floggings went out of touch about 500 years ago didn't they?

I think it was a brilliant decision best way to teach him a lesson...

has anybody ever been up in the Press box ? Probably not it's all you can eat buffet etc TV he can go in the lounge and play Xbox or anything without the coaches knowing

This way he can watch his teammates play smell the ice and see what he's missing out on

Are you clueless ? what people are saying is, sit him in the press box not dressed on the bench. Jesus Christ

my guess you've never been in the Press Box before?

- sbroads24

I'm actually furious. This is unacceptable. Maybe I am more upset than Reinhart but there were dozens of other options to discipline him with.

Again, name one other instance this has happened.

Anyways I don't think it's that big of a deal I would rather be on the bench and be part of the team and sit with a suit and tie

Hahaha, B.E.D. must be his agent. You'd think the team manager switched him out of the field in the middle of a half inning of a slow pitch softball game for making too many errors. Talk about rock bottom.

Let's hear what Sam has to say and see how he responds on Sundee.

What does that have to do with anything, who cares whats in the press box, you don't disrespect a player like that.

Apparently not. This is the new Millennium, didn't you know? Complete reset on moral foundations of society.

Calgary Flames both Sean Monahan and Johnny gaudreau came in late for practice and Got benched

Dude this is perfectly acceptable and completely different. Get in the (frank)ing present time is what you need to do.

You're right, it's much closer to anything that ever happened under the Egyptian Dynasty!

I don't get how that's disrespectful? It's to teach him a lesson just because you're a star player doesn't mean you can do whatever you want ..

Unless it was sanctioned from on high. (frank)ing Russ Brandon... But seriously, maybe Murray was on board with it.

That being said it was a total Richard move and he should've just parked him in the press box and dress another defenseman.

This is what our world has come to talking about benched players well other teams are talking about playoffs and Stanley Cups

God we need playoffs desperately soon lol

I'm sure it's happened before. I don't think this is that big of a deal, and I feel Okposo was ok, he'd probably have been in the box.

I think it's a wake up call to Sam too.

There are coaches in the press box too. Along with the GM. They'd know, trust me.

Every time I have to speak in public, im just going to picture my audience as a bunch of Sam Reinhart's sitting on a bench
