Sergei Bobrovsky - Top Cop

[NotWendell]

And nobody ever said Bob was suspended, did they? Other scenarios: 1.) Bob is being traded; 2.) Bob injured himself in some sort of temper tantrum; 3.) Bob's catching glove has bad juju and he's waiting for the new one to come in.

Good stuff!

And to add:

Kurt Overhardt has a reputation as being difficult to negotiate with as well. In either case, it's just what it is. The goodness or badness of said depends on your perspective.

Overhardt was a complete (jerk) with the CBJ negotiations with Johansen. How soon we all forget. Yes, he gets paid to get top dollar for his clients, but still.

His job is to represent Johansen, Jarmo's job...... is...…. to...…represent...……….Johansen, also.

Torts and Jarmo are North Americans

Oops?

Oops?

It's funny I didn't notice. In a lot of ways Russian culture is distinct from everything to the West, Finland and all. The Tatar/Steppe influence is stronk.

I think it's possible a lot of other team equipment was bad juju and now needs to be replaced.

That's an interesting observation.

I'm going to guess that words got VERY escalated between Bob and someone (Torts?). Probably just a verbal spat that got out of hand.

Bob may have had some (justified) residual resentments against Torts for being hung out to dry with 8 goals.

Certainly would have been justified, but Bob is on record saying that he preferred to be left in those two games that got out of hand “so that he could work through it” or something along those lines (not gonna search for a link/direct quote though since I’m on my phone)

The rumors circulating are very disturbing - and not worth posting here

Just curious, where are you seeing these rumors?

No idea what you are referring to but Bob is that type of a guy who could end up having a mental breakdown or so. I hope its not the case.

So the standard story is that he went nutso after getting pulled in Tampa, right? Or is it more?

 

[NotWendell]

Social media and chatter at the barn

 

[Robert]

Bobs inconsistency has led to him being pulled several times this season... There are no rumors, after the Bolt game pull something happened or was said that was not up to CBJ standards... That's were it ends on the record.

Off the record in my opinion Bob was upset after getting pulled in the Bolt beat down and said something to the coaching staff that got him in trouble.. Personally, based on past experience with stuff as this players that challenge coaches don't stay around long …

Anybody know why Dubinsky is on the IR?

Anybody know why Dubinsky is on the IR?

Twitter says hamstring problem....should be out about a week. He missed the final 30ish minutes of the TB game.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Anyone think Bob is slowly turning into McBain?

 

[Crede777]

Davidson said Bob's contract is up at the end of the season and then if he wants he can go on his way but until then he is a Blue Jacket and is paid to be a Blue Jacket.

That's where I would be at too. Once he becomes a free agent he can go where he wants but until then he goes where the Jackets say and plays when they say.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

JD’s comments and demeanor

Makes it sound like he’s thinking about leaving the team and going back to Russia

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

If this post/speculation isn’t appropriate, I understand, but I really think Bob is trying to use a massive, mid-season contract offer from the KHL as leverage to force Jarmo’s hand.

In tonight’s post-game interview, JD was clearly upset with whatever Bob’s behavior was and his demeanor showed it. I think he clearly inferred that it involved Jarmo, too. JD also made mention that Bob’s under contract now and has the freedom to go wherever he wants after the season. But that he’s disappointed and stands behind Jarmo.

Keep in mind, Bob attempted to leverage a KHL deal back in Summer 2013 and we nearly shipped him off to Edmonton because of his antics.

Mid-season contract would require CBJ permission as well as IIHF....That's not happening. He would have to retire from the NHL to get it to work, which is again not happening.

Let's stop the mental illness shit, shall we?
