Good, finally.
Being around replacement level or average isn't so bad, it's when you play below mediocrity that I wouldn't be ok with.So you're ok with having mediocre players? If you can't help the team win, then you shouldn't be playing.
He's a company man. He tows the line. There is a reason Melnyk did the interview with Boro. Plus he's local so..

We've had a lot of players not helping the team win lately, I imagine that's why we got rid of them.
Right. A company man that tows the line. And you know this how?
From the one video?
Anything else?
Not needed.
Stunning we won tonight without his defensive prowess

Still think if they wanted to go with the local route for a captain, Pageau would have been the better choice.
He gets in there when needed and is far from a borderline healthy scratch on an AHL calibre team.
It's frustrating though seeing players like Karlsson, Stone and Duchene all leave. And the amount of turnover we've had. But Boro is still here.
I know right. Plus he only makes one mistake every 5 games and he made a mistake last game so he would have been perfect last night. Woulda been 5-0 instead of 4-2. Oh well..
Just to add to the Captain vs Company-man debate around Boro. Here are his comments about Guy Boucher. IMHO he kind of throws him under the bus.
“Most fans and media types can look at us objective and say, ‘Yeah, they’re playing better hockey, they’ve bought in and they’re playing harder for sure and not as many nights of mailing it in or having passengers.’
“For the most part, we’ve been playing a lot harder. Crow’s message of individual accountability is something we needed around here. The past few years around here I think it’s slipped a little bit."
Not bad Boro.
“It sucks. It’s a bad situation as a guy who grew up here. I do love this city with all my heart and it hurts to see that for sure,” Borowiecki said. “We need to extend that olive branch. The onus is on us as players to get back into this community and show support for this community and make that first step in repairing this relationship.
“That extends to this whole organization too. There are a lot of areas where we need to improve and be better. That includes everyone. It’s time for us to look in the mirror, we’re going to have make our apologies, try to repair some relationships and get back on the right track.”
