Dr Zaius posted:So, does the racist bully still get his money? It was an AHL contact, are those guaranteed? It's kind of more hosed up if he just gets a large sum of money now and the Bruins should donate the same amount or more to the victim's family and charity. If Miller gets paid he should donate the entire amount if he wants anyone to believe he has any desire to ever redeem himself. It was rescinded. He won’t be paid.

Capfriendly says the Miller contract was registered, and they're not even sure what the procedure here is. I think the only thing that can end a contract right now is a mutual termination, which would mean he doesn't get paid. Since they already knew what he did when they signed it they can't use that as a reason to turf him. Maybe there's a secret take backsies clause we don't know about.

Based on the Bruins players comments, probably not (or just put up the minimum amount of fight required by their rules), but I could see them getting involved about the method in which the Bruins cancelled his contract to make sure it isn't some bullshit that the league can use on other players who just suck at hockey rather sucking at being human.

This whole thing is so loving bizarre, Sweeney already publicly disavowed having made the decision to sign him, Neely has said a million words without directly saying "I did not make the decision to sign him" (meaning, he absolutely did, after Sweeney warned him not to) and is running on down the road with the ol' "Nobody told me he was a shitbag, why didn't anybody tell me, someone's head is gonna roll for this!" excuse. Far be it from ownership to step in and fire the guy who actually made the decision to sign the shitbag.

Yea it sounds like the NHLPA might end up doing something, not because they support Miller at all, but because they have to do their due diligence when any kind of player contract is involved.

Sens black #1 forever e: well the Yotes black is great too, but honestly they should just go to that purple or barf green full time which are even greater The Canucks skate is also very good, as is the Kings raiders ripoff from the early 90s. Pens and Bruins fine OK, history, tradition, fine, fine fine. Actually I think that black Canucks skate is my favorite Canucks jersey, but that's probably a heavy dose of Bure nostalgia. All the other ones are whatever to bad. The Ducks won a Cup in theirs and it fit that Pronger led team but blehhhhhh. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Nov 7, 2022 |

https://twitter.com/ConorRyan_93/status/1589659437228490752?s=20&t=tO5hAesHMXigY8hudyMpow It’s really incredible because on the Ranger-Bruins broadcast they wouldn’t shut the gently caress up about Boston’s player leadership group, how they hold all the other players accountable, have high standards, and how I think it was the HC was surprised to see guys like Bergeron and Marchand speak to the players along side the GM and owners at team events etc etc. Like if even a fraction of that is true- then any Joe Schmo who watched that broadcast would know better than to sign an extremely controversial prospects without at least including some of those locker room leaders in the conversation. But apparently Neely thought they’d just get over it? I know GMs usually wouldn’t consult players about a minor signing but this was clearly a delicate situation with a locker room that apparently isn’t exactly loosey-goosey.

Gonna be good to hear the loving weirdos at work whose opinion 2 days ago was that the guy "was young and deserves a second chance and not to be cancelled" after the Bruins, loving Gary Bettman and just about everybody else with a brain has now realized that you know maybe he doesn't deserve a spot on an NHL roster. This whole story is just so bad it even made it onto CNN's front page. I await Miller's eventual appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight through gritted teeth.

The Bruins are a team where they don't even use the word "rookie" because "first year player" is more respectful. And somehow Sweeney and Neely thought signing the unrepentant, racist, bully, would be fine even after the players said they didn't want him.

All available evidence indicates everyone told Cam Neely it was a Bad Idea and Neely did it anyway. It's either that or Neely's taking a bullet for ownership, but I don't think Bruins ownership has ever been so hands-on as to order such a move. So most likely it was Neely. I've never seen a General Manager at a new signing press conference say "yeah I'm not so sure this is a good idea" before, and probably never will again. If Neely doesn't leave the Bruins by next summer Sweeney will. And either way everyone involved will pretend this fiasco had nothing to do with it.

There's still a long way to go still. Maybe they need to start making all players and staff go through safesport training yearly as a requirement for employment. And then actually enforce it.

It’s a pretty funny contrast seeing how good the leadership/accountability is in the Bruins locker room, while on the front office side every single person in a leadership position has deflected blame and downplayed their own roles in signing Miller at every given opportunity
