clowns.
How did Bruins get screwed?
With the amount of dangerous low bridges and slew foots that idiot gave out in his career....this is just karma.
Thank you Bennett.
Am I misremembering something? May was reasonable enough in his 4th line tough guy role in his last stint here.
(Also think Sopel's inclusion is a bit unfair - he was about as serviceable a defensemen you could hope for as a trade deadline acquisition in 2007, although he hadn't yet completed his transition from offensive defensemen to defensive rock that would see him win a Cup with Chicago)
other than mdz, all those guys had been good to very good contributors. but by the tome they left, i think cooke was probably actually the most lamented one.
my memory is sopel was one of the most maligned regular dmen we’d ever had in the last years of his first stint here. in his second stint he wasn’t the player he had been, but was still as defensively sloppy and a giveaway machine.
and may was iirc the subject of an active lawsuit for putting the bounty on steve moore at the end of his second tour here.
cooke i think was looked on in general to be a good, albeit declining, pest. the dirty injuring guys cooke came after he left, i think.
but when they won cups i think with all three guys we were like, what? we are getting bounced in the second round and those guys are cup winners? does not compute
