But if we trade Bo, and can’t sign Miller (so trade him too) we are taking a BIG STEP BACK. I can't see them trading Bo and Miller. It's one or the other. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a bigger part of the problem, your “paddy cake” complaining is pathetic, and your “Love” of a few romantic moments with your favourite players should be tattooed on your arm. Soft IS Soft, and what is noble and right to you does not win a Stanley Cup Ever. Please go and enjoy some Bantam Hockey at your local rink with some buttered popcorn and your favourite Blanket. Ask Brian Burke if he thinks the Sedin's were soft....or anyone who played with them or against them. No one thinks that except people who wanted them to fight. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 5 minutes ago, Alflives said: The Twins and Naslund were not soft players. They were incredibly tough. When Fon Cherry was asked who the toughest player was on his “Big Bad Bruin’s” team, he answered “Jean Ratelle”. He clarified his response by saying that Ratelle carried the puck and controlled the game even though he took a beating while doing so. Cherry said that was what being tough was. The Twins and Naslund were Don Cherry’s definition of tough. Tough in giving ? .. or Tough in taking Alf ? it’s a massive difference when trying to set an example for a team as a Captain. They took a lot of punishment, but they never dished it. If a Team is “emblematic” of its Captaincy , give me a Stan Smyl type character every time. trying to play “resiliently”strong gets you hurting in every stat and corner on the Ice. A tough “wolf pack” tough mentality puts you in the playoffs most years. Boston is a prime example of that. If your not pushing back , your only holding your ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports. Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Maybe these reporters are trying to get our players at a discount for teams they like ?, It doesn't help moving anyone if the reports are true Most fans here figured it was a country club anyways - It is probably them speculating I highly doubt JR spilled beans to people who would report who he wants moved to hurt our bargaining 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucknAsia Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) I will remind people, Alvin and JR came from Pittsburgh Granted they had superstars in Sid, Malkin, Letang, and Fleury and our 'core' doesn't measure up talent wise (and I would suspect they know our players can't) aka JR "we don't have any superstars here"....but what all those players had and still have is... Is an intense burning desire to compete and be the best every single night I would ask those who think Bo can't or won't be moved - do you think he, as a captain, exemplifies that burning desire to be the best every night? Was he the guy leading the charge out of the Greene malaise? Pulling the team out of the doldrums? And please understand the nuance here, no one is saying Bo doesn't compete hard, but does he compete at the level EXPECTED OF A CAPTAIN in the NHL, particularly when the team is struggling? Or did he have excuses? Did he disappear for 1/2 the season like the rest of the team? Not trying to take shots at Bo, I respect what he brings, he works hard we all know that, he is good person and sets a good example in his effort in practice and in games....BUT is he the kind of LEADER, that JR and Alvin have seen and expect. This is why I think he may be part of the group going. To me JR and Alvin would recognize Miller's fire as more of what they want and have seen from their leaders. A player who cannot accept losing, a player who tried to will this team into the playoffs on his own (often trying to do too much and messing up, but pushing nonetheless). Alot of people say "well bo is a beast in the playoffs"....Bo needed to be a beast when Greene was here so we didn't fall to 8 and 20 or whatever it was. He needed to help lead us out, he didn't. He was not injured, he did not miss camp because of a contract and started slow (very normal for players who hold out sadly, and no excuse for petey but that's a totally different issue). Since you cannot take a C away from a player as it really messes up their heads (unless they're old), I really can see Bo being moved if we look at it from that perspective.

KirkSave Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Bruce certainly didn't have them playing like games were a walk in the park. Aside from the infamous 10 min late starts, the boys battled and played hard for one another. I tend to think some moves will come as JR has foretold or hinted at, but a major shakeup due to a country club atmosphere seems to be soley speculation at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I prefer the below players to be kept: Demko, Pettersson, Hughes, Bo, Pod. Others could be traded if good returns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post McBackup Posted June 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) I trust Kypreos about as far as I can throw him. And Kipper looks like a heavy dude. Edited June 11, 2022 by McBackup 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
