One of the most curious moments of the Buffalo Sabres season was watching Sam Reinhart ride the bench for an entire game with no explanation beforehand. We later found out that Reinhart was punished thanks to a new team rule prohibiting anyone from being late to anything for any reason.
Today, Reinhart came out and admitted to the media that he was “five or six” minutes “late” to a “team stretch” because he “misread a text”, which sounds like an honest mistake that any of us could make.
OR IS IT?????????????
To the untrained eye, this excuse might seem plausible.
