Met with Kirk, asked about if the fans were engaged. He said, "fans are engaged."

Shouldn't it be a 6'6" body pillow?

Remember when puck daddy called him “the man who solved ovechkin” lol

Still my favorite AO moment:

The knots people tied themselves into trying to defend him here were priceless.

6’6”? Sounds like a Tage neck pillow.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wow, Bergeron retires.

Bruins current 1C is Charlie Coyle or Pavel Zacha, take your pick.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Full respect to Bergeron. Hard to go an entire long career and not have a single person say anything bad about you.

 

[Svechhammer]

RIP, Broons.

Hate to see it.

But good on ya, Bergy.

 

[A Star is Burns]

He was a great player. Glad we don't have to face him anymore.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Wow, Bergeron retires.

Bruins current 1C is Charlie Coyle or Pavel Zacha, take your pick.

I get a feeling that they might trade for Scheifele. It makes a lot of sense because he's one of the few offensively-productive centers who won't cost too much in terms of trade assets.

Im sure Winnipeg is going to ask for a reallocation nice return after he scored 40 goals last season.

Boston also believes in defense so im not sure they would really target him either

Red Wings are now happy that they will probably get a nice '24 first pick from the Bertuzzi trade (top 10 protected). Plus, Anaheim's 2nd rounder also probably improves.

Talk about replacing likable with unlikable…

I see Lindholm squared in their future.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Boston will struggle to have the assets to get lindy. But i would help boston by paying a decent chunk of that price if we got Debrusk. DeBrusk could be kept long term too.

To bos: 50% cap lindy
To car: debrusk
To Calgary: 24 1st from carolina, a prospect from Carolina, a good piece from Boston

As speculated:

All Eyes on Potential Jake DeBrusk Trade Out of Boston

Talk that the Boston Bruins might be open to trading Jake DeBrusk is gaining steam and there are a handful of teams apparently interested.

btw: I would like that move....

Just don't go look at what Bruins fans were saying about him after the news surrounding his injury and their exit from these last playoffs...

Florida extends Luostarinen early, 3x$3M, and Florida fans seem ecstatic about this.



Among trades, this certainly was one. it's nice that he made it work out for himself.

I always remember that for like the year after Luostarinen was drafted there were a few folks on here, not even sure who, that just ripped on picking him in the second round because he wasn't as highly rated and maybe lacked upside. Turned out to be a pretty good pick and player.

 

[LakeLivin]

I see Lindholm squared in their future.

If they're cloning Lindholm we should have them make an extra copy for us!

 

[Brock Anton]

But i would help boston

Those words should never be said.

Good for him. And good for the Panthers- that's why you get prospects (and yeah, despite being in the NHL Loustarinen was still mostly a prospect) in trades. Mostly they don't work out, but sometimes they do.

Receipts are available. This one got a lot of likes at the time:

Much the same as Jared Staal is a hybrid of his brothers. Marks skating and offensive awareness, Jordan’s hands, and Eric’s leadership and defensive responsibility.

Ah the internet, where’s some one can take a joke response to a joke original post and be used to try to prove an actual point.

C’mon. You gotta add the context. 6 months post draft, Tarheel jokingly said Loustarinen was going to be “Forsberg/Backstrom/Kronwall/Sundin/Holmstrom/Franzen hybrid we expected.”

Joe’s response that you decided to quote was a joke responding to that post. It was quite obvious.

There were a lot of people skeptical of the pick at the time, but Joe’s comment wasn’t indicative of that.
