Yea, I wish no ill will on the kid.. He needs to get with a coach who doesn't allow him to play soft.. He's got the size and skill, just needs the balls.
Same here Mick. No ill will on the youngster!
I wish Bura well, also. Just ELSEWHERE!😆
As frustrated as my many posts have been, about Bura, the player, the greater frustration was at the coaches and management, who created this patience trying, indecisive, back and forth scenario, with Bura, by re-signing him to that 2yr, “show me” contract, that was WAY ABOVE even the higher “show me” contracts around the league!
The higher money put coaches and mgmnt in a tough position of reluctantly having to extend their patience and tolerance of Bura, in a desperate hope that he may come around, so that their decision to re-sign wasn’t a bust.
While tolerating his mental and erratic production issues, all through his career, GMBM, and coaches, were treated to one hell of a spectacle of near meaningless ups and downs, to the point where Bura’s final few, short, “ups”, were no longer considered as signs of hope, that he was finally COMING AROUND!! Rather, it was more like, “Yeah, we’ve seen this routine. Not getting our hopes up this time”!
Bura just never took hold here, IMHO, although he does have his supporters. I started my dislike for him sometime during his 2nd season! Maybe he’ll fit better in Colorado!
Finally, thanks Andre, for your solid contribution to our Stanley Cup, especially those badly needed goals against Tampa Bay!! You made a difference!
Now that the Bura issue is over, GOOD LUCK #65, in Colorado.
