Owner Crying Poor Mouth Gives Seguin 6 Year/$34.5M Contract Extension To Keep Kid Here Til At Least 2019
How about a couple more of these, Tyler?
Despite his pleas (via Gabbo Bettman) that he can no longer keep operating his hockey team despite the NHL’s record profits over the last several seasons, Jeremy Jacobs had no problem forking over nearly 35 million dollars over the next six years to keep his burgeoning young stud Tyler Seguin in Black and Gold (in addition to the $18M he allotted for Seguin’s riding partner, Brad Marchand).
It’s nice to see he learned his lesson after leaving the Causeway Street cupboard bare before the NHL’s most recent lockout—as opposed to the one that starts this weekend. At least when the NHL returns after whatever Armageddon-ish damage it inflicts upon itself, the Bruins will still have their young star locked up for the rest of the decade.
So, yeah, great day for Bs fans knowing that the future isn’t going to pout his ass out of town just to score goals and net the Bs three, franchise-enriching draft picks in return. Seguin appears to be the real deal and is poised to be the next great superstar in Boston.
At the same time, it’s like getting a killer Christmas or birthday present and not being able to play with it because, shit, there’s no batteries. In this case, the greedy owners own all the batteries and aren’t selling you a fucking thing until you decide to give back a quarter of your presents and 14% of your allowance because they don’t know how to use a goddamn calculator.

That kid is truly going to have this town by the short and curlies with a couple more winning seasons under his belt. Must be rakin in the puss.
i’m likin the christmas present analogy. neil has a battery operated toy that he’s sad he can’t play with either.
ps. were they partying in my 3rd grade classroom?
that’s the visitor locker room in Vancouver, obviously it looks like shit
This contract will look like a complete bargain once the owners get the NHLPA to agree to another salary rollback.
2 years ago, who would’ve thunk that there would be a sports owner in this town who is more hated than Jeremy Jacobs?
Who gives a shit, he sucks
Owner crying poor mouth? What the fuck does that even mean?
What the fuck is going on with the comments section for NY and Philly?
Fucking Bettman always turning the screws on the players and fans, die you miserable little cunt.

In all seriousness though, what the FUCK doe this even mean?
These owners are always doing this shit. Ponying up oodles of cash for long-term contracts, and then crying that the players’ salaries are too damn high. Bettman looks like a Muppet, and he can go suck a dick.
REAR-Admiral? Did Neil change his name?
The admiral brings it. I wish he did more than just hockey. He can get the message across without being longwinded like Jerry, or being a retard like Fiddleberg.
Obviously half of these people don’t follow hockey or know who RA is, so they sound just as stupid as they think he is.
I swear Chiarelli is a wizard at re-signing his own guys. Great contract.
I didn’t realize Jacobs was crying poor. I work for the concrete company that supplied for the foundation of his new home this summer. Gated community in South Dartmouth on the water. Looks like it will be about 7,000 square feet obviously ocean front. Probably forking over about 15 million for it. I think he’s doing ok.
