Tuuka out
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:03 am
Rask calls it. Says he's going home, somethings more important than hockey, like family. Takes guts to stand on principle. I think there's a lot more of this sentiment out there then we know.
It's pretty obvious that most of the Blues players would rather be back home.BlueinNy wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:03 am Rask calls it.

If the Blues don’t like “bubble life”, they’re being very efficient about getting themselves out of that situation!Turk Sanderson wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:31 amIt's pretty obvious that most of the Blues players would rather be back home.BlueinNy wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:03 am Rask calls it.

No amount of smoked ribs or pizza can fix things for a team that just doesn't want to play.
Yes. My guess is that he won't be with Boston next year. He damn sure shouldn't be.BillP. wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 2:21 pm Tuuka for what it’s worth. He’s an idiot. If he felt that way, then he shouldn’t of gone to begin with. But once your there with the boys, once you commit to go to battle with them, you stick it out to the end. Like Tim said, Fuck him.
Agree completely. The Blues should of also opted out, and I'm beating a dead horse.BillP. wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 2:21 pm Tuuka for what it’s worth. He’s an idiot.

And an extraordinary burden for their families under unique circumstances. I wouldn't be surprised if Rask buckled as much to pressure from back home as to emotions inside The Bubble.NHLTIM wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 7:56 pmNo matter how they spin this bubble thing , it’s probably a mental prison of hell for a lot of these guys .
Well, it is Edmonton. For half the guys at least.NHLTIM wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 7:56 pm No matter how they spin this bubble thing , it’s probably a mental prison of hell for a lot of these guys .
Might make for some “even more” intense hockey. Guys will be amped to let out that aggression.NHLTIM wrote: Sat Aug 15, 2020 7:56 pm No matter how they spin this bubble thing , it’s probably a mental prison of hell for a lot of these guys .
Whelp I rushed the judgement based on past performance (Tuuka going nuts on the ice after a loss, or saying stupid stuff during and/or after a loss). My bad Tuuka, hope all is well with the Rasks.bradleygt89 wrote: Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:54 am So, there's a reason for the expression that if you don't want to look like a fool, don't open your mouth...or rush to judgement.

No amount of $$$ or nannies or anything else replaces the need of a parent to be there for your child. Hockey is a game. Children are a parents life.

What's wrong Tim, you need to see a Dr's note or a death certificate before you believe a hockey player has to leave to be there for their child? Don't remember anyone here giving Barbs shit about missing games to go home for the birth of his child. Sorry, but it is disappointing that some people think that $$$ solves all kinds of shit, or that 'celebrities/athletes' etc don't have to deal with the same shit us common folk do. You give passes to all the time to players for their on ice performance, why not give it to them and believe them for the off ice shit too? Not every hockey player's life is scandalous...sometimes it's just regular human shit, and there isn't any reason not to believe Tuuka that he had to be there for his daughter. But I'm sure the Enquirer will have the real story out soon...NHLTIM wrote: Wed Aug 19, 2020 12:44 pmOr maybe that’s just the spin?bradleygt89 wrote: Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:54 am So, there's a reason for the expression that if you don't want to look like a fool, don't open your mouth...or rush to judgement.

Just weird timing ....he said his heart wasn’t in it and all his teammates said they thought his leaving was coming and weren’t really shocked. So now it’s an emergency with his daughter...could be but the timing sure seems strange. Seems like a spin to me.bradleygt89 wrote: Wed Aug 19, 2020 1:14 pmWhat's wrong Tim, you need to see a Dr's note or a death certificate before you believe a hockey player has to leave to be there for their child?
