nope! You can take every rat, cheap shot artist, and weasel the Bruins have ever dressed in their history, assemble a team and have them play Calgary and I would still cheer for the Bruins! I'll never forget '89 when they kicked in the puck vs Canucks round 1 game 7 OT and they went on to win the cup.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Darius replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If im in game 7 in any round of the stanley cup i cant think of a situation where id want Miller on the ice over Bo. Not one. Whether they are up by one, down by one, or tied. Miller and his brain farts would make me highly nervous. In a way its the same reason flames fans think a guy like Kadri is an upgrade over gaudreau. Little johnny will rack up more points but who would you rather have out there when the screws are being put down and the game / series is on the line. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Darius replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
not questioning the hits here. Ive seen a number of posters bring up fighting and backing down from scrums (as a criticism of Horvat) my point is...dont expect Petey to do any of that either. And rightfully so, its not a prerequisite to be a captain (neither is hitting imho) -

Petey will be a good captain....but i dont expect him to be answering any bells....is this going to be one of the measures of a captain now? -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Darius replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good point. i think the ‘converse’ is important too. How much do Petey and Miller benefit from not having to take a million face offs - in all situations, If Bo is traded and they hand Miller those duties will it be better or worse for the team. I’m thinking worse. Miller hasn’t looked great at Center this year imho. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Darius replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
It’s game 7 in the playoffs. There is not a circumstance I can think of where is rather have Miller on the ice over Bo. Miller is erratic, will make the same low percentage cross ice pass over and over, gives up on plays, and let’s emotion direct his game. This got him traded out of NY- so he has a history of this. Don’t care if he gets 15-20 more points in a season. His high risk high reward style is not a good attribute when it’s all on the line. Regarding hits. J Toews racked up a whopping total of 24 hits in 2013- the year Chicago won the cup. Other attributes trump hitting - this isn’t 1987. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Darius replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Dont know what to say anymore. I just want to see what the outcome will be and who they get back in return. The real burn for me is not that they signed Miller (they should have traded him imho). The past 8 years seem to be a failure, outside of drafting a couple high end players. Forget about winning a cup, how about just being a consistent playoff team by now....nope... -
[PROPOSAL] Bo Horvat to Winnipeg Jets
Darius replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Dont disagree with you Petey. Moving Bo would create a big hole at C and Dubois would fill that and maybe would be a long term improvement. I think we need two top 4 dmen (at least) and probably a solid bottom pair guy too. If Miller isnt going to be moved the quickest way I see of filling that is to use the best available trade chip if they do actually trade him. At the end of the day, its going to take some good moves to better the team (obviously lol) -
[PROPOSAL] Bo Horvat to Winnipeg Jets
Darius replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Any player that gets traded has to be with an end goal to fix the defence. Either free up cap to go towards defence, get draft picks that can be combined to be traded for defence, or get a young d man with upside. Swapping out forwards for more forwards will not fix the travesty on the back end. Bo Horvat, should have been a priority over miller, but if he is traded will be our biggest trade chip and best chance to fix the defence relatively quickly. What will Dubois do to fix this team? Will he even be an upgrade on Bo? -

Darius replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I agree. I put him at one coz I don’t think we will realistically get a number 1 any time soon. If we can somehow get two top 4 dmen, even with bear I think I’m being generous having him at 4.. prob a 5 .. closer to your assessment. -
