Former Bruins Kevan Miller Retires

[McGarnagle]

Kevan is a great person and the definition of perseverance. Can't not respect the man. Proud that he was a Bruin, I'll miss him.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Sad that his career went this way. Hope his retirement is enjoyable

 

[CDJ]

He went from whipping boy to cherished member of the roster

It’s almost impossible to rebound like that in this city. I’ll miss him greatly. A Bruin to his core

Some the names seen in that video

 

[The Murph]

Ends his career getting illegally hit by Orlov. Complete BS. I'd throw in to see Miller come back another game against the Caps.

But what a player he was and turned into...still believe 100% Bruins win the Cup in 2019 with him in the line up.

Although sad to see him go....good to stay healthy and enjoy life.

Fantastic career grinding it out. I'll never forget that LA game back in 2014 where it was like "woah...okay...what do we have here with this guy?"

He had a really good stretch before one of his injuries where he was still nails defensively, but he started carrying the puck a lot more. I remember he had a couple shifts where he toured the offensive zone with the puck on his stick and it looked like he was taking another step.

Unfortunately I think he went down again shortly after that stretch and I don't remember seeing that part of his game anymore.

A true Bruin through and through. Feel for the guy with all of his injuries and hope for the best for him.

Thanks Killer! Hope to see you again soon.

That slow and steady progression was most impressive.

There was a game vs LA, we lost something like 1:9, from then on it was up and up for him.

And yeah his skating got better, he started to carry puck more. He used ot be that d zone pass guy and that was pretty much it for him game wise but as you said he started to carry puck deeper and deeper into the o zone, sometimes even do Marchand like tight turn in the corner and turn back up, pass to rushing forward or whatever.

Bad luck with injuries...i am going to miss him. Carved out a decent career, worked hard and actually progressed on his path full of obstacles.

One of my fav Bruins on this team.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Cannot say his play will be missed but he was very useful when the games was played the right way just a few years ago.

 

[TwineTickler]

You were a beast Killer. Thanks for the memories and best of luck.

B's definitely need to get some nasty in the lineup for next year.

[LouJersey]

Bruins defensemen had what 8 concussions last year? Will be double that if they don't bring in a Miller type defenseman or two to handle some business IMO.

 

[EverettMike]

Always felt like he gave you the best he had to give on any night. Would have liked to see his career with even a modicum of good health, but he was fun to watch when he could play.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

man, this guy was such a warrior. I was pretty surprised with how good he was this season despite obviously playing through some things. sucks to see him go out this way.

 

[Mione134]

Warrior. A true Warrior. A stand up guy. A team player. A beast on the ice. I'll miss him.

But I wish him all the best in his life. Health comes first.

 

[MarbleMist]

Hell of a player, a dying breed. I was quite a rarity to see a player improve as drastically as he did at such a late age.

 

[rocketdan9]

Bone cruncher

Too bad injuries got in the way

Goodluck

 

[Kalus]

This is crushing, though not surprising. For me, it really closes the book on that Big Bad Bruin rennaisance we had from 2008 to 2018 or so.

Excellent and classy

 

[VanIsle]

Oh Miller you were a true warrior, sad to see you leave, but I understand.
Best of luck bud, best of luck.

A true Bruin through and through. Feel for the guy with all of his injuries and hope for the best for him.

Thanks Killer! Hope to see you again soon.

Perfectly put.

Nothing but respect and gratitude for his grace and determination to keep coming back. I think it’s very likely that he ends up in coaching or leadership position fairly soon (I hear Providence might need someone). Enjoy time with your family Kevan, we’ll miss you in uniform, but hope you are sticking around our community. Hope we see you soon!
