Ryan Miller's revenge

[Killah_punk]

I really hope this game lives up to the hype, however i feel it will be a dissapointment. I hope i am wrong.

Like Killah.....I hope we have'nt wasted 136 posts in this thread building up something that does'nt come close to happening.

Then of course you play the Bitter Bruin Bigrade card just like the other fraud fanbase that uses it as a crutch....a match made in heaven. Nobody "attacked" you Mrs. Melodramatic, you were looking for an argument from the beginning of this thread...it's consistent with how you are with Bruins fans.

But...go ahead use the BBB excuse as your crutch, remember we're attacking you.

Looking forward to some more unoriginal commentary from you, I guess all that time riding a certain fanbase's coattails has served you well in deflecting blame and playing the role of victim.

Remember to use your teaching from riding coattails in previous threads. You were attacked!

Lucic doesn't owe anyone anything. Scott owes Lucic a beating. Lucic has a reputation as one of toughest player in the league. To keep this reputation, he should accept if Scott comes looking, IN MY OPINION.


This is what I've said about 23 times more and it hasn't changed. Just like everything else, something not positive about the Bruins or Milan Luchrist, every member of the BBB needs to defend him, even though I've said NOTHING negative about Lucic at all.

You're the poster boy for the BBB.

There are too many mental bullies in this thread.

There will be no fights in the Bruins-Sabres game tonight. I am not kidding when I say I think Rangers-Penguins will be much more interesting tonight.

Oh so you didn't call myself and BostonMassacre frauds?

You didn't feign innocence when you said you were "attacked"?

Hey, if you want to go at it with the BBB. Then don't cry when we come back at you. You asked for it...and you've gotten it.

The Sabres-Bruins could well be a dud....but why would Rangers-Penguins be more interesting? Glass vs. Asham and that's it. If Engelland is good to go then maybe he'll fight Rupp.

I said "Dr Fraud" because of his "maybe you should look at you team and deep within yourself"....get it ? It was a joke about his psychological evaluation.

Where did I feign anything? You're accusing me of things I'm not doing. Time and time again it was "Lucic owes you nothing" when I never said he did.

Who's crying, lol? You're the one being butthurt because in my opinion Lucic should accept if Scott offers.

The BBB and you are just over sensitive about anything that doesn't wash the balls of Luchrist. Get over ones persons opinion.

Can you start a game day thread for the Ranger game and post when the exciting plays happen so I could watch them on my DVR after I watch the first period of this game?

Look, sorry to be short with you, but it gets frustrating when I have to repeat over and over again what is a very valid point, over and over again.

If this was Dubinsky running Quick and the Kings signed Scott to deal with the Blue Jackets taking a run at their superstar goalie, and Dubinsky refused to answer for it and I called him out, do you think for one second it would get the excuses and attacks I got?

No. It just seems anything not glowingly positive about the Bruins gets attacked by a certain group of Bruins fans (not all, but some) with some of the dumbest responses (not yours) I've ever seen.

I still think I made a valid point. Lucic owes me and the Sabres nothing.The Sabres, Miller and Scott SHOULD feel as Lucic is a perfect way to show the league "we're not going to be pushed around" and Scott SHOULD attempt to give Lucic a beating. If Lucic is the stud Bruins fans think he is, he should accept and fight Scott, NOT because he owes, but because that's what Neely, Tocchett, Shanahan and Clark (the best power forwards ever) would do and Lucic is in that class and to stay there, sometimes you have to answer the challenge when the challenge is for legit reasons.

What's wrong with that?

I hear you. The problem with Scott forcing the issue with Lucic would be that his teammates would hate him for the beatings they take in retaliation. Still I have to tell you, I hope you are right.

And I should also add that while I have said Lucic does not need to fight Scott, srehm made a good point in the game day thread when he said if Scott takes liberties with someone else while Lucic is on the ice he better do something. With the game being in Boston I don't even see them being on the ice together though. The nature of the challenge may also sway me. If Scott were to simply ask on a face off then Lucic should laugh at him but if he put him on the spot in an obvious way I may change my tune.

A lot of hype over this. I was at the game where Looch hit Miller. Had corner seats and a great view of it. At the time - and watching the replay - I stille have the same thought: Miller came out and intentionally put himself in Lucic's way to force Lucic to bump him and get a penalty. I think at the last second Looch recognized it, braced, and said, "Okay, f** you" and just ran him - much to Miller's surprise.

As to Looch's "tough guy" status. He's in a tough spot, much like Neely was in his later years. Neely created room for himself - and a reputation - by punching guys put who took liberties. Either with him or his teammates. (N.B. He and Ruff had two back-to-backers in the playoffs and Neely just destroyed him). Later, Milbury told Neely to back off and fight less and be on the ice more. I thought it was a mistake. Neely endured a lot more stick work in the 90 season (and 91, IIRC). I think this one is 'optional' for Looch. If the game is decided one way or the other and Scott wants a dance, I would have a ton of respect for him if he takes the call. Flat out, Scott is a big man and that takes some stones to step in there. If he refuses - with the game decided - I would probably lose a little respect for him. Not a ton, but a little.

As an aside, people here are awfully cavalier about what these guys do. I've been in a fair number of fights and still do competitive grappling. Even where there are no punches, but the risk of getting an arm broken or choked unconscious, I get those butterflies before I get on the mat. And there are weight classes. I don't have to scrap guys who outweigh me by 50lb and almost a foot.

The guy who would earn my respect would be Chara if he stepped in between Scott and Lucic or Scott and Thornton, given the size disparity. That's what a leader would do, given the size disparity and other considerations. I'd like to see Zdeno skate up to Scott early and say, "If you come calling, I'm your Huckleberry. If you go after someone smaller than me, I'm going to smash one of your scorers into ice shavings. It's me or no one." THAT would impress me. I doubt it shakes out that way, however.

Being that you are a grappler yourself, it's no wonder to me that you would want Chara to be the guy to fight Scott! Odds are very good that would be a very boring fight.

Not to mention, what happens if he gets injured when he pulls Scott to the ice after 3 seconds? The Bruins are without a Norris trophy beast Dman, their Captain, and a huge part of their team. Come to think of it.... maybe that's not such a bad idea afterall .

I see it being Thornton, or perhaps they are throwing MacDermid to the wolves so to speak. Thorts is a wily veteran and a damn good fighter. He could handle Scott one way or another. IMO MacDermid will get filled in if he tangles with Scott. I actually hope that IS the matchup they are looking for...

As far as being cavalier about the role of an enforcer.... that's tehir job. It's what they do. Having butterflies is a normal reaction, but you don't get punched in the face for a living if you aren't okay with it, know the risks, and have a screw loose somewhere.

Maybe miller shouldnt've been a thousand feet out of the net when Milan Lucic was flying towards him, just a thought
