Talk:Bruins Trade Samsonov/@comment-101808-20060310115002

Hockey is the greatest sport (or at least top 4 with baseball basketball and football)Boston is poorly managed, and they gave up on Thornton and Samsonov way too early. With the new style of open hockey, a speedster like Samsonov should have been able to thrive. The only problem is he&quot;s got a case of the Kovalevs-- tons of talent but likes to hold the puck and fake all five players out 12 times until he shoots. Kovalev thrived when he left the media spotlight of NY and sucked agian when he came back. Maybe being shipped to the world&quot;s anus of a city like Edmonton will help him resurrect himself (like moving to US&quot;s anus Pittsburgh helped Kovalev). Thornton is having a great season for the surprising Sharks, leading the league in assists and top 5 in points. P.S. All Knicks fans would chip in 20 bucks a person if Boston would take Isaiah Thomas.
