Borocop was an absolute warrior! Hope he enjoy the rest of his health & life!

Wow. Congrats on your retirement Boro.

I particularly like the part at the end of his statement about being remembered as a good person being far more important than any on ice accomplishments. I agree with that sentiment and from the outside, it looks like he did that.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Best 1st line wing Defenseman we ever had.

Dude was a stud on the bottom pair. Borderline reckless playing the style he did.

Warrior, mini legend. Always think he was robbed of his best hockey when he got injured in the Boston series. He was so huge early in that series early, and was the playoff spirit leader for Ottawa, they missed him. Whatever he does now, he’ll have lots of teeth to help along the way.

Boro was also the player that finally turned me 100% off fighting and into the “should be no fighting in hockey” camp. There was a season he fought a lot and in 1 week fought Reeves and another big heavyweight and they were mean fights and he fought a ton earlier that season - and he took time off and came back and spoke about the nerves and the anxiety of being a hockey player and it just wasn’t worth it - Boro shouldn’t be sacrificing that much to play hockey in his family neighbourhood. Even if guys are willing to pay the price it’s not a price worth paying

Love him, and wish he woulda coulda stayed, especially given the way things turned out in Nashville health-wise.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Should have stayed over Gudbranson or Brown or Coburn in 2020.

one tough guy ...

 

[TonySoprano11]

For a bottom pairing guy he did pretty good for himself. He had a career earnings of $11,677,242. Enjoy retirement BORO!

Brass ballz on a golden person.

Great guy, solid player. I still feel bad for him for having to do that "interview".

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Great guy, solid player. I still feel bad for him for having to do that "interview".

Yeah, this will be my lasting memory of him but he did a ton for disadvantaged hockey.
Happy trails Boro.

Great guy, solid player. I still feel bad for him for having to do that "interview".

I think Boro was screwed by the GM.

Hope he joins the Sens allumni he was also great in the community. I would also like to see the super hero duo of Deadpan & Borocop at the arena.
