Player Discussion Kevan Miller - II

[Dr Hook]

I once went to a game at the old Olympia. Think about that for a minute.

In Detroit? Nice. I managed to get a couple games in the old Gahden back when I was pretty young, 73 and 74 seasons. I barely remember any of it

 

[LSCII]

Yeah, guys taking a smoke break in the tunnel between shifts The 70s...fun times and we'll never see them again. Made hockey what it was though, and it was how I got introduced to the sport.

Seeing Turk do a post game interview with a smoke on one hand and a Schlitz in the other is always funny as f*** to me...

 

[LSCII]

Would live to see sone of todays fine tuned machines keep up with the old school lifestyle - be like filling up a Prius with kerosene.

No doubt. Would also love to see the reaction of players today going 70s style when they try to set up shop down low only to get caved in repeatedly, with no penalty calls. lol

I remember going to a preseason game in Binghamton and seeing Alex DelVecchio play....

But on topic.....just say no....

Caved in with 2 lbs. of honest Canadian lumber, not some wispy 200 gram nanotube embarrassment.

Exactly!! While I get that the composites let you shoot harder, they explode at the wrong time way too often for my tastes.

We know Lonnie, you prefer sticks that explode at the right time.

Who knows . . . If he trained like they do these days there’s no telling what he’d be.

Everyone took longer shifts in those days and Espo took really long ones.

When you see today's players get caught in their own zone and they ice the puck, then have to stay on against fresh legs, they look like 5 little Chara's out there. Fatigue slows the skater.

Went to a game at the New Haven Arena.

New Haven Blades vs. Long Island Ducks in the Eastern League.

John Brophy played.

Kind of reminds me of this classic shot:

 

[Ladyfan]

If he’s healthy then no reason not to keep him in the fold - brings a lot of what they lack. Think a lot in here are underselling him because it’s been so long since we’ve seen him play. If he can play like he did pre injury he’d be a huge asset to the roster.

This is how I feel. Kevan is just the type of player the B's need. This is of course if he is ready to play.

Well done...

And so does his wife

And so does his wife

So hurtful. If I had any feelings, I would possibly be offended...

Me too but he was never overly fleet of foot , so Im guessing at his age and injury history its probably wiser to pass on Killer!

I thought his skating had improved. I know he was working with a trainer a couple of years ago and I saw improvement in his skating.

I don't know if Kevan will be back or not but if he does return I will cheer for him.

WHY ?????DON WHY?????????????????????? would you waste cap space on Miller for the 20-21 season.

 

[Dr Hook]

This thread really should have been put into the "Former Bruins' category. What a goofy signing. I just can't bring myself to believe that the team had no better alternatives than to do this deal. Power Play Petrovic would have been a better signing than this.

 

[yohan1212]

If he can get in a healthy season I am all for it. I’d also grab Engllend as a 7 d man and try to dump Moore. Bring back debrusk and sign Dadanov. Let Chara retire.

 

[Seidenbergy]

His cap hit is barely over the league minimum. I don't think his contract is going to keep the Bs from signing anyone else. If so, we've got bigger problems.

It 1.25m with some pretty easily attainable bonuses which then apply to the cap. Hell, he can practically just show up for training camp and the hit is about 1.5. Ten games and it goes up. Things will be tight with the cap with JDB and Gryz. That money can make a big difference in a competitive offer or another fail. But more to the point, why did they need to this now when they don't know if they will need the money or not? What was the rush?

I ask this question who do you protect and who goes on Waivers to start the season . The D needs a big upgrade before the season starts . I hope we all agree there. So who are you prepared to loose to have Miller on the team. Is the plan to have him start in the A?

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I think Miller will be the surprise of the season . I had problems with Miller in the past whenever the Bruins tried to use him above his skill set in the top 4 . He could provide some much needed grit to the 3rd pair .

He was hopping pretty good in that video showing his new knee caps. Let's go kevan !
