Oh man, what a bummer. I noticed he hadn't posted for a while and thought he was taking a break as he occasionally did. I didn't know Mike really, but had a few offline chats over the years. I am really sorry to hear this.

We all chided him about his lack of brevity. But he will be sorely missed.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

How terrible. He was much too young.

Saying a prayer for his friends and family.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Way too young
RIP Mike​

Legend

He seemed here from beginning

early on and I’m talking 20 years ago he used to do a weekly or monthly write up on posters

Going to miss going it at him - one of those members I wish lived nearby to go to a Bruins game with and hit Fours with

RIP I will miss you

 

[WestCoastBruinsFan]

Sad to hear. Way too soon.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Didn't know him personally but he was a good poster for decades. RIP Bruin brother

Damn, very sorry to hear this. I don't post here a lot but I've been reading the boards for many many years and always enjoyed reading his posts, long as they were. Far too young. Condolences to his family.

 

[Gnome17]

That feels so weird.. Rest in peace.
No matter what you thought about his posts you could tell he had passion. The Bruins has lost a great fan.

 

[Lobster57]

Terrible news. Great poster and fan and seemed like a good guy all around.

 

[Gee Wally]

This is shocking and heatbreaking.
Michael has been a contributor here going back to the old boards. Over 20 years.
He contributed articles and volunteered for a time as a Moderator.
We lost a true fan.

RIP .....

Stopping by to pay respects. Paths would cross on here every once and awhile. RIP

Interestingly enough, besides Oilers and Flames, the Bruins are the most televised NHL team in Alberta.

 

[Bruinaura]

Wow. Sorry to hear. I didn't interact with him much but he will be missed on the boards. Condolences to his family and friends.

Along with you amd a few others he has been a must read for the 20 something years I have been a member (remember big bad bruins days), he chose me as his poster of the week once and it made my day!!

Rest easy Michael

 

[Kosi]

RiP Mike. Enjoy the Bruins from above. Long live the Camrose Brawlers. (HFL)

 

[Alicat]

Rest In Peace Mike. Just awful

 

[sarge88]

Oh no.

That’s so sad.

I won’t lie and say I read every word he posted, but I certainly think I read more of his posts than most here, simply because I appreciated how invested he was and often liked his ideas and opinions.

Rest In Peace Mike.

You’ll be missed.

 

[PB37]

He was one of a kind.

Mike, you will be missed.

 

[Grumpy Grizz]

So sad to hear. He was a passionate fan and I will miss his posts.
RIP Mike.

 

[Greek_physique]

Horrible news.

RIP - sending love to his family and friends

God Bless Alberta Mike and sympathy to His Family and Friends. When St. Peter opens the Pearly Gates may this song be your entrance. Rest in Peace our Bruin Brother.

Condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.

His posts were always so detailed and well thought out. I didn't always agree with him, but he always brought a lot to the discussion, and was a passionate Bruins fan. He will be missed on these boards.

This is so sad, my condolences to his family and friends.
