i was sat with the newcastle fans this weekend, and from the sh!t they where giving him, i don't think they'd be too happy with that !

in our semi final game this weekend in the first period even though he was very entertaining you could see why he has never won a major championship

I could think of at least 5 maybe more that probably works harder than him. With no disrespect to Bruce, he's committed but most of our fans think he's gods gift because he gets beat up and blocks a couple of shots. He's easily replaceable. |

I would like to see Bruce back but heard he is going back home as his wife doesn't want to stay here next year.

I agree that Bruce does give everything, and maybe more, game in game out, it's just unfortunate that it probably isn't enough. He is a great guy, a great entertainer and a gritty player, but he can hardly skate, always falling over, his size makes him easy to push off the puck, and although his fights are entertaining, he doesn't often win them. I would always have a player of his ethos on my team, but I don't think I'd have him back if I was in charge.
I agree with Heja #27 that recently you can see why he has only won one trophy in his career, and that was this season's challenge cup.

Heard he was after a Head Coaches job and that was from the man himself. Will be gutted to lose him he covers more ice in one period than some cover in one weekend.
Did hear though this weekend that personal family reasons may take him home. If thats the case good luck to him in whatever he does he deserves that.

According to some Vipers fans last night, Bruce has been interviewed for the Vipers job.

if bruce did get the newcastle job i think that team would be amazing with all his contacts. he is also good mates with David-Alexandre Beauregard now you can't tell me no vipers fans wouldn't want to see this guy playing for them

But what does he do with all this hard work? I could skate round the ice for 60 minutes and get on peoples nerves, granted I wouldn't gain many points, but it's ok I'm putting in 'hard work'. |

I have never seen Bruce in a corner in my life, yet Bergin - in your eyes- must be half the player Bergin is. I like Bruce don't get me wrong, but the players you picked out my list were the ones that I least expected you to complain about. Bruce is all mouth no action, a bit like Clarkey admittedly, but at least he's worth more to the team i.e scores, assists, and pretty much gets on with the job. If you want my honest opinion, either Bruce seriously needs new skates, or he's a worse skater than Sharp, and that's saying something.
And he gets points. So you telling me Gascon is hardworking, but yet received most of the flack on here this year because he finished one point under Richardson. To me MG and BR are very similar players, only difference is MG is very lightweight and don't fight but goes about his role in the team very quietly and gets on with it, and alot of people will disagree but was more worthy to the team than Bruce, also he's alot more disaplined, and that is the key to a winning team in my eyes. Would be quite interesting to see how many times we've been scored on when either BR or MG have been sitting it out.

Someone said we'd be amazing with Bruce's contacts. On the smallest budget in the league, he'd need to be pretty bloody persuasive...

In Richardsons first season though we had Ndur and Bergin on the roster, so you'd expect Richardson to mix it up more when you've got two players of Ndur and Bergins toughness backing you up. This season I thought Bruce did an ok job this season, maybe age has caught up with him? As for players that gave their all, remember Garden, Cote? they were 100% each and every night. |
