Confirmed with Link: Bruins cut ties with Mitchell Miller( MOD warning post 410)

[BradMarchandismydad]

Ok guys, let’s get on with the season now, ok?

Bad signing, good job rectifying, time to focus on our great players and coach

 

[The National]

Interesting to see how they did this contractually.

 

[Mione134]

According to posters here Isaiahs mom was a liar and doing this for attention. That Miller was an honest stand up kid now.



Weird.

I don't think anyone was calling her a liar. But there were many things that were very confusing and I wish she'd clarify. Like the apparent taunting that took place only 2 years ago? The apology and letter apology she says she never got but we know he said one? Either way, it doesn't matter anymore.

Signing this kid was a mistake from day f***ing 1. Everyone involved needs a good smack.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Still embarrassing. You’re 1 of 32 franchises, Original 6 to boot. You’re supposed to be the best of the best. Do your due f***ing diligence. Amateur hour

So they don't do any due diligence on a kid with actual red flags but bend over backwards to reach for the tiniest "red flags" on draft prospects and deem that they have character issues. What a joke. Who does the research and PR for this organization?

 

[Gee Wally]

I still want heads to roll though. The embarrassment this brought the franchise for something they didn't even stick to through the weekend is unacceptable.

internally there needs be a look in the mirror. If Im old man Jacobs I want answers.

I didnt post lat night but in addition to what I was told about O’ree I was also told Jacobs Senior ‘was on his way to meet with them last night’.

It would be a good gesture for the Bruins as an apology to fly out Isaiah and his parents for a game in Boston

 

[LouJersey]

Boston Bruins President Cam Neely will be available to media at Warrior Ice Arena at 9:15 am tomorrow in the media room on level 2.

Where is Don?

I'm honestly shocked that Jacobs wasn't involved from the start. I have to imagine they either soft balled who Miller was when pitching the idea.

Or they thought the blowback wouldn't be anywhere near as bad.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Good.

 

[Ladyfan]

IMO this is good news

 

[Troublesome 85]

So theyre going with incompetence

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I truly don't know if this makes them look better or even worse....

Short term I'd say it's a wash.

Long term, damage is done.

Their opinion on character means nothing. And as a player, (like Bergeron), even at the end of his career, how could you remotely trust they'd value your opinion.

 

[JCRO]

I’m baffled by some of the responses I’m seeing here.

I understood people felt “second chances” can be earned/ should be given/ etc.

THE DUDE AND HIS AGENT LIED. FURTHER CEMENTING HIS POS STATUS.

There are no winners here. The damage is done. Enough.

 

[Smitty93]

We understood this to be an isolated incident and that he had taken meaningful action to reform and was committed to ongoing personal development. Based on that understanding we offered him a contract.

Your golden boy lied to the front office, but of course you are fine with that.

This is total bullshit. Every single person here knew it was a multi-year thing. If they want to say he lied about community work or apologizing to the victim, that's fine, but everyone knew everything else 2 years ago.

 

[Pia8988]

Send Neely and Cam with him. Clowns

 

[Smitty93]

Where is Don?

Hopefully cleaning out his office and signing up for unemployment.

 

[LouJersey]

Love Cam, but he needs to go. You cannot let your GM take all that abuse and announce the signing and you fly in and play Superman saving the day, and I don't care if Don wanted to do it and he didn't. The Bruins leadership is the hockey eqivilent of the Wilpons.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Actually Miller did a pretty good job of that on his own.

Yeah 7 years ago.

I don't feel that bad for him and he looks like he'd be cast to play a nasty bully in a HS movie. That is also why I advocate.

I went to Church today like I do every Sunday this isn't a perfect world and I honestly hate that Donny and Cam are getting crushed for this too. I've been given second and third and fourth chances and am familiar with the legal system it just all sucks. Hopefully we can get back to hockey.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Jumbo home-cooked meatball. Healthy wrap.

 

[CDJ]

Neely and Sweeney, a couple former athletes who undoubtedly have CTE that think they’re the smartest people in every room they walk into

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Hey never rule out incompetence. If it’s anything, it’s most often incompetence.

But the important thing? He’s gone.

 

[Dellstrom]

Especially proud of all our players. They were polite with the media but I cannot imagine the shitstorm that went on behind closed doors, at their players meeting, etc.

Not just their doing but I can only imagine based on their tone from the interviews this was not something they were willing to "wait and see" on.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

focus on the Blues folks......

 

[Gee Wally]

time out! Enough with the flaming. Since I cant delete posts fast enough I will now delete posters. No more religion. No more off topic whatabouts. No more trolling. So knock it off.​
