He was such an underrated pick up in the first Cup run. I think a lot of fans from around the league forget he was even part of it. But he was great.It’s especially awesome since he’s been trashed and hated on almost everywhere he went after being drafted. He came here, found his role, won the heart of the team and the fan base and I couldn’t be more happy he’s back with us. He’s a great fit to our system and style of play and brings physicality, a bomb of a shot, a big heart and a great beard to this team. Officially: welcome back Bogo!
Katchouk in the comments: “third overall legend”
McElhinney in the comments: “Bogo!! That’s my beer league stick right there. Works the same there also ”
Even Coop giving him a little jab last night when asked about Perry’s scoreless streak
“Well hold on, let’s take a step back. How about the guy who scored the first goal of the game? Like that was his first goal with the Lightning. So Perry’s actually way behind Bogo. So I was more excited for him. Took him really 3 years, 2 years with us.”
Bogo if you can read this, the story about your children running around yelling "Go Bolts!"/"Go Lightning" after finding out you signed your deal is still resonating with me. You could've gone anywhere else for twice the money. After last night I'm in love with the fact you're gonna be around just a bit longer and your children can come to love this as their home too.
Does anybody have numbers on how Bogosian and McDonagh have done as a pairing? They've looked very good to my eye. The reason I'm wondering is because I would love to give Cernak a run with Hedman when he gets back, which is doable if McDonagh and Bogo are good as a 2nd pair. Hedman-Cernak feels like an unstoppable pair in the playoffs.
I have faith that when the refs put their whistles away, Bogo will be a handful in front of Vasy.I’m a bit disappointed, he’s been shaky out there the past few games. Oddly enough I think Foote might be the better choice for now.
