Spooner on Claude relationship

[DKH]

It's interesting that nearly a week after Peter Chiarelli that Claude Julien fate has not been publically determined- privately he may have already been told. This long is not normal or really fair so I think he's already hd the talk what they expect- and its more North-South Spooner/Pasta types.

Claude style will have to change also- but if I want to lose weight I dont keep ice cream err, temptation in the house (Claude's temptation atleast one of them- Campbell is gone)

Very cool, and not surprising

Quite impressed with Ryan's comments on himself and his take on Claude.

Agree- Spooner looks as good off the ice here as he does on it with the puck on the half wall.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Wow really surprising to see Spooner have such a positive take on Claude. If anyone should hate him it's Spoons but he seems to be behind CJ. After this article I think I'm leaning towards giving Claude another year to figure things out.

Guess the title sucked in a lot of posters but it wasn't quite what they were hoping for.

So does this mean Claude is staying?

 

[LSCII]

I thought good on the kid for not taking it personally. Classy move, even though it was clear Julien had an agenda against him. That's on Claude though, especially since Spooner took the high road.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Spoons taking the high road, pretty classy, unlike how Julien was to him earlier this year.

At a Holday Inn Express hopefully not located in the state of MA.

 

[whatsbruin]

Does anyone really think Spooner would rip into Claude while he is still coach ?
If Spooner wants to play, he has to play nice.

We'll find out the truth if/when Claude is fired.

All class Ryan, all class.

 

[Boston BROin]

What else is he going to say? CJ is still coach and he just started to get playing time. He's too smart to **** that up.

 

[Gee Wally]

Reminds me almost word for word what Jumbo Joe had to say about Pat Burns.
Burns rode him. Benched him. Tore into him at practice. To this day Thornton credits Burns with making him a pro.

These guys get payed well enough to be professional about criticism. Let's worry about Clode moving on to the new NHL instead.

But Claude hate Young players... I'm sure he paid Spooner to do that interview...

Find it interesting this is a story. A coach helps a young player - isn't that what they're paid to do.

Or is there an implication that its a story because Claude seldom does it

I did not always see eye to eye with my dad growing up and today i am the man I am because of what my dad taught me and showed me along the way in life.
Tough learning is sometimes the best and in sports if the individual does listen and learn from what a coach expects from him more often than not that player will excel and be a better player and person from it.

I can certainly relate to this.

And one punch from Eric Lindros ended all of it.

Great find, thanks for posting.

Very mature tact taken by Spooner there.

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Actually, fairly reasonable articles. Much better than his tweets.

 

[missingchicklet]

Things have worked out well for Spooner. He's improved all facets of his game and is definitely ready to stay in the NHL. Hopefully he will work his tail off this summer and come back even stronger. Claude clearly appreciates Spooner's evolution, as evidenced by his change in tone in interviews by the end of the season. Spooner showed maturity in his statements. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Spooner and Pasta develop next season. They both could end up being very valuable players for the Bs when all is said and done.

Im a big fan of Ryan spooner


I was really hoping for a 3rd line of spooner and knight by now but hey glass half full or in this case line

I don't know man. From our perspective it looks so obvious that Claude had an agenda against him but we are lacking too much information. Therefore, it is anything but clear. Listen, maybe he was railroaded, but then again, he's now seen as an important part of the Bruins organisation. Maybe we should revisit this tired assumption and recalibrate. The question remains: Did Spooner do well down the stretch in spite of Claude's agenda? Or did Spooner perform well because of Claude's agenda?

To be honest, I don't know the answer. I'm just glad that the real Spooner stood up. Now he's a keeper.

My question is why was his playing time limited in the last 3 games in favor of 4th line pluggers I'm sure it was Claude boosting his confidence.
