I didn't mean it as a joke. I realize everyone now takes it as such, but I'm not sure Romano or Schafer would really want that information posted publicly. Maybe I'm just being overly concerned.

I agree with eblimes 100%. That kind of information is definitely private. If it wasn't, I'm sure people would've known by now.

Now, if that parent told you in confidence then it's a different story.

The parent must have thought it was just a 1-on-1 conversation. You don't assume everything you say will be posted online for others to read.

Let's put it a little less harsh on the poster. There are two possibilities: either the parent could not care less, or the parent would not be happy about his words floating around the net. Even if you're 90% sure it's the former, still, if it's the latter you may have embarrassed or annoyed the parent, neither of which is desirable.

Now, you may well retort that in the world of Senator Stevens' Tubes, you should be prepared that anything you tell a stranger is going to be available to the world in the time it takes him to text message it. And you would be right. But do be aware that not everybody is used to that world quite yet.

What you say is true, but don't you think player's families know about all the hockey forums, internet broadcasts, and even us! I think they would know that anything said at a game will be repeated, at least verbally. He may have made a mistake, but I doubt it, and if he did he should say "oh keep this quiet", as if that would help.

So, I say it's fair to post it, however our opponents now can know it.

As opposed to what, by semaphore? :-D

(Sorry, it's a bye week, what can I say...)

No, repeated in writing, as was done on this thread.::smashfreak::

Hopefully he will have 3 more years to work at it in Lynah.

Not likely given that his agent was in attendence saturday night.

Sorry I meant "family advisor."

There are two real possiblities here.

1. He goes Major Junior as soon as they are out and he has surgery in the off-season

2. He has surgery and goes Major Junior next year.

I am betting on option 1. Get in and play and then have surgery.

No, you do assume that, if you say something to a stranger in the seats at a hockey game. There's absolutely zero reasonable expectation of privacy in that situation. If you don't want something known publicly, you don't say it publicly, and that's that. If you say it publicly, it's fair game, both legally and ethically.

Besides, it's not like this is some deep dark secret or information on an injury that could somehow help an opponent or lead to further injury. We were on here specualting about whether Romano would stick around anyway.

As for Schafer/the team not wanting that information posted publically, how would it hurt the team? I'd imagine the players usually have a sense of who might leave early, so it shouldn't affect morale. (They don't read this board anyway, right? :-)) It doesn't help opponents on the ice in any way. I couldn't see how it could hurt recruiting either. So anyway, I think it's much ado about nothing. But it is a bye week....
