Ray’s fit to be tied
Ray tells the story about being drafted, including an uncomfortable car ride and a hotel room scuffle with Tie Domi.

Joel Savage went to Buffalo in the first round and Darcy Loewen went in the third. The Sabres also took Keith Carney in that draft, so they were pretty good at picking in the late rounds. |

I've located the excerpt from Domi's autobiography, detailing his side of that fight:

Don't hold your breath waiting for that automatic best-seller, he'll have to fight illiteracy before he tackles the story of his life.

He also scores a goal on his first shift.

Lindy yelled at NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, who gave him a look that said, “Shut up and get in the dressing room.”
The NHL never admitted it made a mistake. |
The NHL not admit it made a mistake? Noooo.......Not the NHL!
