Nice try slasher, you are clueless

The article does not exist.

Neither DW or anyone at the Bruins has said or insinuated anything close to that.

Candy, it was in the Boston Globe, not some Terrier or other fan blog. I think you should start pricing Providence Bruins jerseys soon. I have a feeling you'll be looking to buy one for him next summer to go along with his USA jersey.

Regardless of where it was located, it was that writer's insinuation, not based on fact or asking Warsofsky his opinion.

The writer is entitled to his opinion, but its just that, an opinion. Even if it is in the Globe.

Just curious hokydad, what two words were shortened to create the word "blog"?

Because... if it's "web log" (hint, I'm giving you the answer here), then... you know... something that was in print in the paper and not on the internet is ... NOT A BLOG.
 
Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

I like hokydad. He's funny (in a creepy jocksniffing restraining order-type of way).
 
Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

Did anyone else see David Warsofsky on NESN's Sportsdesk this morning? They introduced him as "former" BU Terrier David Warsofsky. I thought he had signed when I heard this.
 
Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

Unless I missed a post, the Terrier hockey solstice passed quietly a few days ago. We've had 105 straight days without hockey (106 if you count the debacle in the HE semis), with only 90 or 96 empty days left depending on whether you count down to the Toronto exhibition or the first RS game in the Icebreaker.

It doesn't matter if it was in the paper or online. It was reported by the Bruins beat reporter. It wasn't Fluto's personal opinion. Someone familiar with the situation (most likely a Bruins team source) told him that and he reported it. As someone who reads pretty much everything Fluto writes, I can assure you that he wouldn't state his opinion as fact. When he's giving his opinion, he makes it clear it's his opinion.

Fluto is a BU grad, right? I can see why he'd have an agenda against his alma mater...:cool: :rolleyes:

Clip and paste it so we can pass our own opinions

Are you incapable of looking it up yourself? Here's the full section on Warsofsky. BTW, it was in the paper. It's a notebook, not a blog post.

David Warsofsky, acquired from St. Louis for Vladimir Sobotka on Saturday, will participate in his first camp as a Bruin. Warsofsky, who said he weighs 170-172 pounds, could use some more bulk before he turns pro. So the Marshfield native, who will be a junior at Boston University in the fall, undoubtedly will become familiar with strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides during next week’s camp.

“I consider myself more of an offensive defenseman, but being at BU and working with [strength and conditioning coach] Mike Boyle, I’ve been trying to get a lot stronger,’’ said Warsofsky. “I know a lot of people kind of question my defensive ability. So I take that, put it in my back pocket, and try to work with that as much as I can. I think offense comes more naturally to me than defense, so I’ve been trying to work on my defensive ability, get stronger, and work on my overall game.’’

Warsofsky most likely will spend one more season at BU, then turn pro. He projects to be a power-play specialist in the NHL.

The way this article's constructed makes it sound like Warsofsky himself is Fluto's source for the "one more season" part. That's definitely not the case, though.

That clearly is him guessing
Not info from DW or anyone associatedd with Bruins
No one has ever told Fluto that those were DW's intentions

In fairness it would not surprise me and with the right season, could see it hapPppening

Hey Fed, are you aware of the clearinghouse issue with one of the recruits.
