Saintsfan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 As a very quick aside on this topic. How in years to come are people going to feel about Kevin Garnett's years in Boston? I mean, without finally getting a championship in Boston, he would be a shoo in for this topic, but I kind of think of Garnett as a Celtic now, not a T-wolf seeing out his final years in the wrong uniform.He fit in so well and quickly as a Celtics, it seems like he was destined to be in green.KG in a Timberwolves uniform looks like a legend in the wrong uniform to me now.Its odd isn't it, because I would sort of agree with you. But I think its interesting that Garnett seems like a man living out his destiny with a ring in Boston, whereas say Ray Bourque has to go to Colorado to win the Stanley Cup, but he will be forever a Bruin to a lot of people, I think.

Does anyone in Boston hate Ray for leaving for a chance at the Cup? The guy bled black and gold, stayed when others left. Carried the team when it needed it. So, who hates the guy for wanting to get his and call it a career? And let's be honest, it ended his career when he got what he wanted. He didn't stick around and continue to stick it in the back for Bruins fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ray BourqueTeemu SelannePaul KariyaKariya and Selanne are definately wrong jerseys. However I can buy the argument to an extent that Bourque is not in a "wrong jersey" when considering the story behind it and what happened in his last game as a member of the Avalanche.-DanI love the fact that Ray was able to finish his career and finally get his hands on the Cup with the Avs, but you've gotta keep in mind that the guy was a Bruin for over two decades.

Compared to a jersey that he wore for 20 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't stick around and continue to stick it in the back for Bruins fans.You'd be hard pressed to find a guy around here that hates Ray for going to Colorado. We all knew the Bruins weren't going to give him what he so desperately wanted, and deserved after all those years, so if leaving was his best option, then he did the right thing. It's not like he had a full tank left, it would've been different if he did. He was at the end of his career.IIRC he actually brought the Cup back to Boston for a day.

BBTV Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Nice cheap a$$ jersey Flyers!-DanWhile that jersey is clearly a cheap replica (can tell by the crest), remember that back in the '80s, some authentic jerseys were that type of mesh (the Rangers were wide mesh for quite a while.)IIRC, the Flyers had wide mesh in the early '80s (when they were made by Eagle I think) and then went to the 100% poly (like baseball jersey material) until Air Knit became en vogue.

eriqjaffe Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 .202 with 3 HR, 51 RBI, 30 SB, and 11 errorsOf course, that was in AA. He never saw a day of real major-league action.I did, however, see him in a pre-season exhibition game against the Cubs at Wrigley where he went 2-4 with a double.
