Yes . I was never a big K Miller fan . I just didn’t think he was very good with the puck or liked his decision making . He’s playing it safe more now and it really suits his game . He’s perfect for the 3rd pair .
He looks faster out there then he ever did before the injuries.
Could just be the hair though.

That's his 2nd $250K bonus of the year. Can still earn another $500k - I think he will get there.
Brings his earnings up to $2 million for the season. Still worth it.
Questioned the timing and structure of the contract at the time. After all this time, I still haven't deferred to Evan Gold even though I keep saying he's a genius.
I think he knew how close he was to losing his career. He really put in a tremendous effort to come back and he is making the most of his opportunity now.
It really feels good to see an athlete come back even better than before, it is such a rare thing to see.
He's a more talented version of McQuaid, always was. Great to have someone on the ice, that no one wants a piece of.

Happy to eat my share of crow. Never thought he would be playing at this level after all this time away.
With such a young group, his presence has been and will be vital for the success of the defense.

man.
I hope he stays healthy for the season.
Can you imagine if we had this Miller in the 2019 Cup Finals??

He's been very solid and I'm happily suprised by how well he's moving around the ice. To come back from those horrible injuries.... i thought he was done. What a warrior! Here's to good health, Kevan Miller.
Thanks. My sister and I feel like the den mothers. We are very protective of the B's.
There are many great fans of the B's. There are also a few that I would like to slap. There is no one on this current team that I dislike. I believe they all are trying and want to win. I HATE when fans get on a player who is having a tough game. It never helps that player.
The players usually ignore those fans that get on them but I remember one time one loud drunk guy with a B's jersey on was screaming and swearing at Big Z. Z shocked all of the fans and the B's by looking right at that asshole and saying "Why don't you come down here and say that". The guy was escorted out.
Kevan worked his ass off to get back for the love of the game. He is in very good physical shape. I don't get why any fan cannot appreciate that. I am so very happy for him.
That was what was lacking
I've never understood that type of mentality, to be vile and personally insulting to players. If they are having a bad night, do these idiots think the player doesn't already know that? Kevan should get full respect for coming back from what seemed to be a career ending set of injuries. It is really pretty amazing. I hope he can stay healthy as he is doing well on the third. Still not a fan of his puck skills, but he brings other things that are just as important. You have to think Zboril likes being out there with him, just as Gryz did when he was young and learning the NHL game.
He definitely would have been a difference maker. A heavy hitting defenseman who wouldn't hesitate to drop the gloves if necessary? Oh yes, they could have used #86 back there for sure.

Probably gonna be Oskar Lindblom in Philly after returning from cancer treatment but Miller should be the Bruins nominee easy

forgot about him, good catch, feels like one of those award where you can`t really go wrong. Wonder if it would be a worthy award to issue to multiple players who have overcome obstacles rather than be one were simply one "winner" is chosen?

Really though, every year it seems there's a few guys who deserve some recognition for what they've been through. Also it feels kind of weird to rank their adversity haha
I was sold that he'd be able to play (though wasn't sure how well) and said as much here when I saw the workout video posted after the signing. People made fun of the take, but I knew you just can't do the ridiculous things he was doing in that video with a bum knee.
If Zboril continues to play well, $2.75M for the third pair is pretty good value.
Interesting that it also happens to exactly equal the cap hit for the 7th/8th defenseman.
Yes, that is one expensive insurance policy sitting in the press box or on Don Del Negro's table. I don't think that was one of Sweeney's better moves even with the caveat that he was dealing with a lot of unknowns at the time.
