Management Mitchell Miller signing - III

[Gonzothe7thDman]

I don’t get why that’s important, Bruins were the ones dumb enough to actually do it.

Jesus what a trainwreck this statement by the agent turned out to be.

And funny, one of the groups was run by someone from 02K that he supposedly helped out at.


Sounds similar to the school he supposedly helped out at that was run by his best friend mom.

The optics on those two things alone look terrible.

Nvm the rest of it

Mione is right. This is not only Boston, this is culture imo
Canadiens prospect ‘deeply regrets’ sharing photo
Just for one example. How much NHL players are currently targeted with the Hockey Canada scandal?

uh huh….but please lets stay to this specific person and topic.

thanks.

I do blame them (whoever it was) for signing this kid. It is uncomfortable and should be. There is usually plenty of non-positive news (just listen to 98.5). He wasn't playing in the game last night, so I don't get why it needed to be discussed at that time.

He is not playing in Boston now. I doubt he ever will.

It is not the players or fan's fault this happened. It will be talked to death. Gameday is exactly that.
Plenty of other times to discuss this pathetic issue OVER and OVER.

I don't see how anyone thinks this issue is or will be ignored. Sports Radio will feed off it for weeks

I'll remember that if they ever talk about a prospect playing in the NCAA or the OHL during gameday, that you think it's inappropriate for them to do that.

It's the biggest story in hockey and the team is playing that night. To not talk about it is negligient, whether it hurts the feelings of some fans or not. It is absolutely appropriate to talk about it during game night. Not one single solitary person has said it's Bergeorn's fault or Zboril's fault or Lauko's fault. And whether personally have had enough of the issue isn't the point. It's news. It's their job to talk about it.

I agree Gee Wally. I could have added alot here. I will pay attention and stay out of here on this matter. But let us not be hypocrite that this is a singular case!

 

[Dr Quincy]

I am not saying to not talk about it (I assume you mean me).

I am saying I don't want to hear about it 24-7. There is only so much you can say. People are saying shit who are clueless. It is like beating a dead horse.

Some posters LOVE this (just like 98.5). Some here never have anything positive to say.

There are other stories about the Bs too.

Biggest story in hockey.
The day after it happened.
The first game that team played since it happened.
The first time a broadcast of that team happened.

And whether you personally have heard enough or not is irrelevant. There are questions that remain to be answered. There are new parts to the story that came out today (the community service stuff, the O'Ree stuff, the agent stuff, the other teams interested stuff).

I suggest you not tune in, read, or watch games over the next few days if finding out information about this is harmful.

Amen to this.

I think the myth of the league knowing about this before hand has been proven false by the steadfast words of the NHLPA. It’s almost like the Bruins knew if they got his name on the contract first the NHLPA would fight like hell for him vs the leagues stance on him

 

[Ladyfan]

They haven’t spoken a word on it, Fenway mentioned earlier that they were told not to speak on it. During the game I understand not bringing it up.

That is odd. I wish we knew why he was signed. It still makes zero sense to me

Noted.
Bold part. We can simply disagree.

What was the O'Ree stuff? I missed it.

It’s like a little kid who plugs hears ears with his finger and says I can’t hear you……lalalalalala

I never said it was harmful as I also want to understand why they signed him.

Rehashing the same info (or lack of) is of no value to anyone

 

[Dr Quincy]

I think it was Gee Wally in here who said O'Ree called the team to let them know how he felt about the signing.

 

[TinyRivers]

That is odd. I wish we knew why he was signed. It still makes zero sense to me

Unless something else comes out, I see two answers. Either management wanted the player and assumed (poorly) that it would go over better, or, Sweeney is being honest with his (poorly judged) "everyone deserves an oppourtunity for a second chance" narrative.

Me too that’s why I wanna know more about it and hear from those that made the decision.

Did he say how O'Ree felt?

We may never know. It makes no sense

that is what I was told just before puck drop last night.

No...It's like let's hear what really happened rather than many speculations.

The management should just say what happened. If they don't people will just makeup stuff.

 

[Gee Wally]

he , I was told, wanted to express his deep displeasure man to man with Jacobs.

Sweeney had an opportunity and refused to be interviewed.

Thanks for the info. I did not see that anywhere... not surprised though.... what a shit show.

Seems the topic should be

Like when the Oilers signed Evander Kane.
