Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O’Reilly told reporters on Wednesday he had no idea if there was a resolution coming Thursday to his legal issues. As it turns out, there was none.
In hockey parlance, O’Reilly is now at a hat trick of delays.
O’Reilly’s case in a London, Ont., court was pushed back to Oct. 22, meaning it will still be lingering well into the Sabres’ season. It’s the third delay in the case after O’Reilly was charged with driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident on July 9.
Driving his vintage 1951 Chevrolet pickup, O’Reilly allegedly struck the side of a Tim Hortons cafe in Lucan, Ont.
