Around The NHL Discussion 2018-2019 - Part II

[BlueDream]

Holy shit, I wonder what the story is there... Definitely surprising.

There's now a joke in here about both Berglund and Sobotka quitting on teams... yet ROR is the cancer.

 

[Thallis]

I would never in a million years expected this to be Beeglund. Sobotka wouldn’t have surprised me in the slightest. But Berglund is a shock.

Yeah, this is crazy. Maybe mental health issues he hasn't been telling the team about?

 

[542365]

I’d really like to know the story. Bergie doesn’t seem like the type to throw a hissy fit and take his ball a go home.

 

[Evocable Manager]

However, I hope Berg is okay both physically and mentally. I'd wager there's an unknown circumstance circulating this. Something has to be effecting him because he's not this bad.

 

[Spektre]

It’s a little surprising but even when he was here he just went through the motions.

 

[BlueDream]

It's actually crazy how bad those 3 have been for the Sabres. Still a great trade for us.

Reports are saying Berglund was furious about being healthy scratched earlier in the year. Have no idea any other details but apparently he rarely talked to the media, etc. So I guess he's just fed up with them.

But the guy is also painfully slow and is going on 31 years old at the end of the season. The game will be passing him by and he will just become less effective every year.

Wow. Absolute theft by Armstrong, especially with the top ten protected first. If we suck this year and turn it around next year they’ll be left with two awful black holes, a black hole with some potential still, a late first and second for the best player on our roster. That’s one of the best trades in our franchises history as long as we don’t give up a top 5 pick next year.

 

[Oberyn]

I despise going to the main boards now. Just filled with Sabres fans and the constant "ROR is a cancer" comments. Really makes it unbearable.

 

[yogintheaveragebears]

Once a blue always a blue!

They have to justify the trade somehow because their team got absolutely bent over in that deal.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I mean if that were the case why wouldn’t the team just grant him a leave of absence? Seems like a good way to find yourself getting sued if he truly is having health/mental health issues.

If they didn't know about it, I could see it happening as some automatic thing. Berglund has gotten scratched before and it's not like ~14 minutes a game has been significantly lower than what he was getting here, so I find the unhappy about being scratched/ice time to be kind of weird.

 

[Dbrownss]

We just cant suck next year. Even if we cough up a 10-20 pick this year, you make that trade for O'Reilly. I dont know how how of a pick I'd value him but same as Schenn....he's work a mid pick

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Berglund just couldn't take the mental strain from the Buffalo University School of Mental Gymnastics.

 

[ZigZagBluesFan]

Berglund for Steen. Would ya?

 

[Ranksu]

Berglund was overrated player in Blues.

Good he's dropped down to earth. Understand he isn't good player. He only builded good status so get good icetime in top9 role. Look where he's now.

The joker gets karma. I'm loving it.

 

[simon IC]

I hope Berglund is okay. He seems to be a nice person.

 

[High n Wide]

What's the deal with recent ex-Blues? Lehtera goes to Philly and starts a drug ring, Berglund suspended with no warning or explanation.. Might want to take a look at Perron since he spent some time away

In all seriousness, hope all is well with Berglund - both that he has no undisclosed health or personal issues and also that he didn't quit on his team due to being unhappy about his usage.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Berglund for Steen. Would ya?

Steen is and always has been a better player than Berglund ... well hes been a better player than anyone on this team except Vladdy since hes been a Blues, the lack of respect for Steen in this town will always confuse me, Hes been better/more healthy then just about any forward since we traded for him, could some players been better if then could stay on the ice? maybe but they did not stay so its moot point, Steen has been a great Blue and this town completely craps on him

 

[TheStorm]

Most Sabre fans know it was a terrible trade for our team. At least the sane ones. I don't visit the main board much but that wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Dbrownss]

Most Sabre fans know it was a terrible trade for our team. At least the same ones. I don't visit the main board much but that wouldn't surprise me.

It's really only a few that drive us nuts.....

 

[EastonBlues22]

It's really only a few that drive us nuts.....

It's not like the same can't be said about a Blues fan or two.

I can't use the ignore feature because of what I do here, but I really can't recommend the feature strongly enough for others.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

I completely missed that Mick McGeough had passed away. Geez, I was out of the loop for that 3-week stretch.

 

[TheDizee]

he was probably the worst official until tim peel came around.

i still remember him making 2 terrible calls against the senators about 10 years ago when the blues were making a playoff push

 

[SneakerPimp82]

Hutton is great in this. Or should I say Sutton.

Hilarious. Kyle Okposo's face though
