why do you still boo Comrie?

I am curious on why people still boo Comrie. Is there still a lot of hate for him or do you guys just think it's something fun to do?
I have a feeling half the people that boo him were too young when he was here to even remember him. or maybe some of you just had a bad experience with something they bought at The Brick.

I'm long past the events of when he was here and know that the oilers brass are not innocent in the events that transpired.
I just don't get still booing him.

Comrie is a little puke - that is why I boo him. It really shouldn't matter to Oiler fans - he played his best hockey in Edmonton and should be pissed at himself he left because he was going to be poon fed every opportunity to become a star in Edmonton. But I mainly boo because he is a puke.

Because it's funny and Oiler fans have long memories.

The funniest was last year though when Comrie got a penalty and the PA guy played Hilary Duff's new song :laugh:

Because of the rumors? :sarcasm:

its all in fun now.. im sure no one cares about what happened seemingly long yrs ago.. we are all past that but its still fun to boo some players.. besides there really wasnt much else for fans to do last night.. cheered on the 4th line and boo'd the heck out of comrie.

Because he is a bobblehead.
Because he is spoiled and never had to earn anything in his life.
He could have had the whole city to himself, but his selfish ways ruined him.

Because he stole Duff from me

At least it gives Rexall some noise.

Because he stole Duff from me

Ya I was wondering the same thing. Why all the NHLers seem to want my sloppy seconds. Oh well, what can you do.

I cheer him not only because of his ability and the fact that he was once my favorite player; but also because of the people that senselessly boo him and decide that because he's a different kinda guy that he's all kinds of nasty things they never would've said while he was here.

I think sometimes Oiler fans just like to have something to focus on for the game in terms of chants. I doubt anyone hates Turco, but it's a common theme when Dallas is here. I'm pretty sure very few hate Smyth, but they'll boo him. Comrie, at this point, I think it's just fun and games and I bet even he thinks this by now as well since most people treat him pretty well when he visits Edmonton now according to what was said by him to Sportsnet yesterday.

I personally have never booed him, though I thought he did deserve the boo bird treatment at first, I think people should let it go now. I can't get cheering for him though, My cousin use to have a crush on him, so she went to the game when he first came back in her Comrie Jersey and cheered for him. I wasn't with her, but her brother who was said it was the most emberassing moment of his life.

Oh I think many people were saying those things about him when he was here. He has had a bad reputation as a little snot since minor hockey. I have never heard anything good said about him off the ice and I have heard a few horror stories that would make people cringe.

Comrie is not a nice person from what I gather. Although that is all through heresay. But given the rumors and the reputation where there is smoke there is fire. He was a good player in Edmonton no doubt. But he was not a saint back then. People could see and did say things when he was an Oiler.

You know you're in a hockey city when ...

;)

why did comrie leave in the first place?

I am curious on why people still boo Comrie.

because he's still Mike Comrie.

why did comrie leave in the first place?

Because he got traded. Funny how you have to leave when you get traded.

Are you really shocked that a kid with a lot of money would get a reputation as a snot? Deserved or not?

Many hockey players get forgiven for their trangressions because of an "aw-shucks" persona, coming from a certain background, or perceived (or real) lack of intelligence. Comrie never would have had that.

I don't expect players to be saints and I can't understand why people do. If you can dog this guy this bad for it Raffi Torres should be pelted with full beers every time he's on Rexall ice for the stuff he supposedly did.

I consider not showing up prepared for games to be a lot worse than getting in a contract dispute etc.

Meh, I could care less now.

He certainly isn't worth all the fuss he's generated throughout his career.

he left because he was going to be poon fed every opportunity

Certainly not why'd I leave

why did comrie leave in the first place?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Comrie

Comrie left the WHL's Kootenay Ice at midseason to join his hometown Edmonton Oilers for a $10-million three year deal,[1] which was well above the league maximum for 2001 draftees of $1.13 million a year per year over three years (due to a loophole established by Mike Van Ryn).[2] There he would instantly become a fan favorite and hometown hero.[3] He was an offensive threat during his first couple seasons with the team, tallying up a total of 133 points in 192 games from 2001 to 2003. Comrie's status as local hero changed dramatically after he elected to hold out in a contract dispute for more than 30 games into the 2003-2004 season. When the 2004-2005 season opened, he signed with Farjestads in the Swedish Elite League and played ten games with them.

Basically he was getting a lot more money than he should've and he still wasn't content with his contract so decided to hold out.

Then there are the rumors that he slept with Tommy Salo's wife.

Comrie's a punk and I'm glad that he still gets booed.

Meh, I could care less now.

He certainly isn't worth all the fuss he's generated throughout his career.

That's the thing I don't think he has created any fuss. I think the fuss was brought on by KLowe.

I have never booed him. Players move to different teams in the NHL and constant drama about everything bugs me.

Certainly not why'd I leave

Ha. That spelling error definitely hurts my case. I agree with you.

Because it's fun!

That's the thing I don't think he has created any fuss. I think the fuss was brought on by KLowe.

In what way?

Apparanly Comrie felt jilted because they Oilers tried to sit him longer than he wanted to after he broke his thumb (so he apparantly wouldn't be able to reach his bonuses).

The fact that he then went and up up 3 points in the next 10 games while going -10 didn't seem to make him realize that he probably wasn't ready to come back so soon ended up getting lost on him.

He felt jilted by the organization and they viewed him as someone who put his own numbers before helping the team win... both parties seem pretty guilty.

In any case, when you look at what he's done since then, it's pretty apparant that all this drama was all for naught and wasn't really worth it in the first place.

From an Islander blog:

"Mike Comrie is back in Edmonton, where they will boo him when he touches the puck. I’m aware of the extenuating circumstances of the hometown boy and the Oilers, but doesn’t every fan base boo just about every former player when they return? They’re still booing Miro Satan in Buffalo, even though he’s on his second team since. Man, I remember even Pat LaFontaine getting booed at the Coliseum in his first game back as a Sabre, and Pat’s like the nicest human being ever. It just becomes sport after a while. It also gets kind of old. Perhaps it’s the best entertainment option on a Monday night in Edmonton. (Oh, relax)."

He played hard for us. I would never boo him.

The funny part is that it was Lowe who asked money back from Comrie

I just like people who some how think Edmonton is the only city to boo players, or are hard on them. Happens every where. Man, try being a Yankee. They booed Roger Marris when he brok the home Run REcord, while playing for the yanks.

Anybody that turns their back on a city after being overpaid for three seasons, deserves what they get when they return. Holding out, and knowing full well the Oilers didn't have alot of cash back then, coupled with the fact that he was already well overpaid, makes him a cash grabbing **** in my eyes. I won't even get into the fact it was his hometown, nor will I state anything about the rumours because they are just rumour. Fact is, he was playing on the first line because the Oilers couldn't afford someone better. He did not have the numbers of alot of other first line centers in the league at that time, and was demanding as much money. Comrie should have been more than happy to accept a contract more in line with what his numbers were. If he improved his numbers after that, then he would have gotten more as was deserved. He didn't. The rest is history.

I agree that the booing becomes just a sport after a while, hell, look at Gretzky.

After Gretzky was traded (sold) to the Kings the Oilers fans gave him a huge standing ovation before the game started then booed him whenever he touched the puck after.

It's possible to still respect someone but boo them, however in this case I seriously think there's a severe lack of respect for some puke like Comrie.

I just like people who some how think Edmonton is the only city to boo players, or are hard on them. Happens every where. Man, try being a Yankee. They booed Roger Marris when he brok the home Run REcord, while playing for the yanks.

Look at Larry Murphy in Toronto. There are lots of examples of players in the NHL that routinely get booed in specific cities.

because he pee's under the table at bar's...

Oh, relax.

I boo him because I dislike the Brick's high pricing for low quality items.

***** and giggles.

The player I don't get being booed is Weight. The guy got traded because we couldn't afford him. It wasn't his fault. Similarly Guerin got traded for the same reasons, but never gets booed.

Because I wrote an Essay on his holding out, and I had to do a last minute edit because he got traded.

Still got me a 78%. not bad....but er Screw you Comrie!

The player I don't get being booed is Weight. The guy got traded because we couldn't afford him. It wasn't his fault. Similarly Guerin got traded for the same reasons, but never gets booed.

As a recall Weight just got a few booes, not where close the comrie Treatment. I agree though, Weight was a great Oiler and stayed longer then most would have. Weight was the Anti Comrie, not from here but tried to stay.

Because all Oil fans are about whipping boys, past, present and future. I'ts how we roll....

Weight got lots of cheers last night when the PA announcer announced Weight topping the 1000 point barrier.

Comrie gets booed in jest, Pronger is really the only guy who gets booed seriously.

The player I don't get being booed is Weight. The guy got traded because we couldn't afford him. It wasn't his fault. Similarly Guerin got traded for the same reasons, but never gets booed.

I think there is a difference between Weight and Guerin in that although Weight was a Ranger draft he really grew up playing NHL hockey in Edmonton and became a league star (104 point season hilighted). Guerin on the other hand was acquired in trade as an already established player. The connection was not as strong.

As far as booing Weight, I think people are booing the situation moreso than the person. Frustrated that the CBA basically forced the Oilers to lose star players because of the lack of cap situation. Weight was loved in Edmonton on and off the ice. He was a friendly and helping person who was really comfortable in front of the media and fans and you could really see he loved his time in Edmonton. Guerin was just not the same type of personality.

gotta love some of the answers. I figured many just to it for something to do, I get that. I wouldn't do it, but that's fine.
but those people who boo because something so many years ago, or because of rumors or secondhand reputation stories, or jealousy. come on who cares.

if you met him would you call him out, or is booing your anonymous way of being a badass because of not having the guts or are unable to tell him how you feel or are just taking out frustrations in regards to your own life? I can imagine some of you talking to him. "hey buddy. you've moved on and have a good life, lots of money and a celeb girlfriend, but I think you're a jerk who doesn't deserve what you've got and I don't like you." that would put him ni his place.
you guys would be better off booing lowe for his trade screwup where he demanded money back from Comrie and cost us a good player. Lowe was the petty baby in the whole senario.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Great post, pretty much sums everything up spot on.

I was just mainly referring to the KLowe drama in asking Comrie to pay the organization if he wanted to be traded to Anaheim.

Hey, it was just as much allowed in the rules as the loophole Comrie used to get almost $7mil out of the organizations in 2 years.

I don't think Comrie felt too bad about cashing in those cheques despite the fact the spent a bunch of games doing nothing but cherry picking for points.

The funny part is that it was Lowe who asked money back from Comrie

Funny until you think how good Corey Perry would look in Oiler silks today. It basically shakes down to Comrie for a 1st (Schremp), Ryan Potulny (Syvret trade) and a chunk of Cole (Jeff Woywitka, thrown in for Pronger--->Lupul--->Pitkannen--->Cole).

Hey, it was just as much allowed in the rules as the loophole Comrie used to get almost $7mil out of the organizations in 2 years.

Loophole or not. The thing backfired on KLowe in hindsight. He let his emotions get in the way of making a deal. Lets assume that it is the time of the trade and they have Perry and a first on the table from Anaheim and Woywitka and a first from Philly.(since these were the most common things reported by numerous news outlets)

The first is going to be a better pick from Anaheim at that point and both players are considered blue-chip prospects. Of course #1 d-men are a much rarer bread than a scorer, but the Oilers were trading away a scorer so what would ahve been the problem with getting one back. Fact is KLowe let his emotions get in the way of making a trade. As history shows this wasn't the only time he would let that happen.

Oh hypocrisy, you are a cruel mistress.

I don't like Comrie because of his refusal to play the game he got overpaid to play due to some contract dispute.

Booing players is a good way to keep fans involved in the action, and keep the building lively. I don't see the issue.

I was a Comrie fan during his Oiler years. He was a hometown kid with skill and pluck. Plus he was the heir-apparant to Doug Weight.
I recall watching an interview of him working out prior to the '03-04 season in which he was saying all the right things. He was working hard so he could become the first line center, he was excited for the new season, etc.
For me, the contract squabble made Edmonton look bushleague. Whatever you paid (or overpaid) on his rookie contract was a sunk cost, and irrelevant. It seemed like Lowe was using Sather tactics, and I had hoped those days were over. The contract Comrie ended up signing in Philadelphia didn't seem unreasonable, and in the short term the Oilers lost that battle: we missed the playoffs, and paid Adam Oates more money for less production. In the long run, however, the Oilers won the deal: Woywitka became a piece of the Pronger trade, and Comrie would eventually become a free agent that had to resort to signing with the Isles.

If I boo him, it is because I hate the Brick.

The funny part is that it was Lowe who asked money back from Comrie

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/instigator/gfx/2003-2004/andanotherthing.jpg

Boredom.

I hope someday I can not give a crap about Pronger as much as I don't about Comrie, but I doubt it.

Are you really shocked that a kid with a lot of money would get a reputation as a snot? Deserved or not?

Many hockey players get forgiven for their trangressions because of an "aw-shucks" persona, coming from a certain background, or perceived (or real) lack of intelligence. Comrie never would have had that.

Wrong, Comries trangressions exceed anything Raffi did.

Torres may have been cronically unprepared but he tryed.

Comrie got everything handed to him on a platter, then he stuck his nose up at it and said "not enough".


Theres no recovering from that.

Loophole or not. The thing backfired on KLowe in hindsight. He let his emotions get in the way of making a deal.

Fact is KLowe let his emotions get in the way of making a trade. As history shows this wasn't the only time he would let that happen.

The two deals were:

Anaheim: Comrie and a 3rd for Perry and a 1st

Philadelphia: Comrie for Woywitka, 1st, 3rd

Granted I concur that The Anaheim pick was always going to be the better pick (no matter how well Comrie played), but the fact of the matter was it was a trade to a conference rival who they were battling with for a playoff spot at the time. Making Anaheim immediately better was also something that needed to be taken into account.

I'll also concede that the difference in 3rd round picks is not even worth discussing.

I also agree that the Perry package ultimately turned out to be better value over the long run (though it wasn't as apparant at the time).

If it was truely about emotions and spite, I don't think Lowe would have traded him period. I know it was said Comrie really wanted to go to Anaheim, but I think that had more to do with the fact that they were a team that actually expressed tangible interest in acquiring him more so than that being a top choice of his.

In any case, neither party handled it well and that happens all the time.

I boo him because I dislike the Brick's high pricing for low quality items.

HaHa this is the best reason I have seen yet. Booooo Comrie.

Comrie used the loophole to hold the Oilers hostage and get a far bigger entry level contract than would have been normally possible. When that contract expired, the Oilers gained control over what his next contract would be and they proceeded to offer him less money than Comrie felt he should be paid. So basically, when the rules benefited him, he used it for all it was worth to get as much money from the Oilers as possible, When the rules benefited the Oilers, he pouted, whined and sat out. That plus his ridiculous allegations of not being given the opportunity to meet his bonuses cemented his status as a money-grubbing little toad and rightfully brought upon him the scorn of many Oiler fans.

Wrong, Comries trangressions exceed anything Raffi did.

Torres may have been cronically unprepared but he tryed.

Comrie got everything handed to him on a platter, then he stuck his nose up at it and said "not enough".

Theres no recovering from that.

I think you're missing what I'm hinting at when it comes to Mr. Torres.

I disagree with the platter talk and note the last contract negotiation.

I think you're missing what I'm hinting at when it comes to Mr. Torres.

I disagree with the platter talk and note the last contract negotiation.

You notice I'm not alluding to any rumours one way or the other.

And Comrie did get cherry minutes handed to him on a platter. And then he wanted the Oilers to pay him more for providing him the opportunity to rack up points when he wasnt helping the team win.

Bottom line is that they wouldnt mind paying him, if he would have performed when it counted.

People boo because he asked to be traded from Edmonton. Regardless of a player's reason, legitimate or not, asking to be traded from the Oilers condemns you to a lifetime of hatred from Oiler fans.

Is that fair? I won't even try to answer.

i paid for the seats.. i boo who i want to boo.. i'll boo you too if you give me a good enough reason :naughty:

that beign said, i rarely boo anyone.. pronger yes. and sometimes comrie, but only because i had the displeasure of meeting the little silver spooned, arrogant, lippy, sob when a nephew played with him.. ive never actually met anyone who liked him as a person..

Because he got traded. Funny how you have to leave when you get traded.

no need to be an ahole

no need to be an ahole

Sorry just pointing out the obvious.

If you met Lowe would you call him out, or are posting on these forums your anonymous way of being a badass because of not having the guts or are unable to tell him how you feel or are just taking out frustrations in regards to your own life?

Oh hypocrisy, you are a cruel mistress.

I don't like Comrie because of his refusal to play the game he got overpaid to play due to some contract dispute.

not being a hypocrite, I perhaps could be one if I mindlessly boo kevin lowe everytime I see him at the rink from the safety of my own seat, because of a stupid incident years ago.
but I don't dislike Kevin Lowe as a person or a hockey personality from things I see on tv or read in the newspaper.

I am a lemming, and just do it because everybody else is... now, why is everybody going to that bridge??

Because he stole Duff from me

When she decides he's too immature and he moves on to Miley Cyrus you can make your move then.

Meh, I could care less now.

He certainly isn't worth all the fuss he's generated throughout his career.

SHIZ

I'm going to make two huge assumptions in the next sentence. Assuming I know the same rumours you do and also assuming the rumours are true (obviously very debatable) the Comrie rumours are much worse than the Torres rumours. That's just my personaly opinion. I don't boo Comrie nor do I really care if people do I was just kind of curious why you would lump two so very different rumours together and then judge them to be of similar severity. Just curious that's all.

Gotta boo someone.

The player I don't get being booed is Weight. The guy got traded because we couldn't afford him. It wasn't his fault. Similarly Guerin got traded for the same reasons, but never gets booed.

Some players we boo because we can't stand their stupid ass-face and our copper 'n blue blood boils at the sight of them.


Others we boo because they're making a mistake by wearing that ugly, ugly visitors uniform when they were born to wear beautiful Oilers silks.


Doug Weight is the latter.


(Guerin should be too. Remind me to boo him next time he's in town).

I was at the game yesterday. You ought to think intelligent oiler fans would boo Guerin since he was the last good goal scorer we had, albeit for a short time.

Don't worry about Edmonton fans that attend games, most of them are uneducated and just recall the past few years (Maybe 6 at best, when they kept losing to the stars in the Quarterfinals). Vastly uneducated and very uneducated are 2 things you can expect from MOST oiler fans.
I was sitting at the game yesterday (Gold seats, so you ought to think people there are white collar or there about) and half the people were first timers busting out their cameras as if this is some huge thing.
Then someone behind me talked about how richard park is unreal.
A dad in front of me was getting his under-18 daughter drunk.

ONLY in EDMONTON!

SERIOUSLY OILER FANS STOP BREAKING THE BANK TO BUY TICKETS OR BUYING SCALPED TIX FROM TNTTICKETS (COME ON!) because being oiler-educated, horcoff-infatuated isn't really a TRUE hockey fan. You're just an OILER fan.

The circumstances he left under will always leave a bad taste in my mouth. He should have been playing in the Heritage Classic that year and the hometown hero, but he gave himself a bad reputation with his hold out. They offered him 2.5-3.5 mil a year and he held out for 4 mil + as I recall.

Gotta boo someone.

Nuke the whales.

Well, I don't think we're quite on the same page here...

Why do I personally boo Comrie?

A number of years back, Ceilis Pub on 104ave 109st. Was partying it up there, good times, in walks Jason Smith, Mike Comrie and Tommy Salo... For a few hours all fun, it was a pretty dead night, but it all went wild eventually. Tommy Salo working his Swedish charm on some uggo, his style I guess.... at a table with Jason Smith and Mike Comrie and we're all laughing that Comrie couldn't hold up the Stanley Cup even if he won it.

If anyone knows the place, they have these giant barrels for tables, so the bet was on.. Jason Smith successfully raised the thing over his head. Tommy Salo - no show he was still working on the ugly. Mike Comrie - struggle monkey. No dice.

Laughs, whatever. Hours later I go into the bathroom and Mike is in bad shape, painting the walls of a toilet and just ralphing hard. Anyway, I'm the good guy, I get him out of there, ask the captain what to do. Call him a cab he says. I do. All the while dragging this guy around like I'm a medic in WWII.

Finally get Mike Comrie in a cab. He was sleeping when he got in, I gave the guy the address, money, closed the door.

As the cab is pulling away, down goes the window and out yells Mikey:
"Lets see you raise the barrel, you ***** *****!" (little cat/ female dog)

I hate him to this day. That's the truth, Salo snubbed me harder another night.

Why do I personally boo Comrie?

A number of years back, Ceilis Pub on 104ave 109st. Was partying it up there, good times, in walks Jason Smith, Mike Comrie and Tommy Salo... For a few hours all fun, it was a pretty dead night, but it all went wild eventually. Tommy Salo working his Swedish charm on some uggo, his style I guess.... at a table with Jason Smith and Mike Comrie and we're all laughing that Comrie couldn't hold up the Stanley Cup even if he won it.

If anyone knows the place, they have these giant barrels for tables, so the bet was on.. Jason Smith successfully raised the thing over his head. Tommy Salo - no show he was still working on the ugly. Mike Comrie - struggle monkey. No dice.

Laughs, whatever. Hours later I go into the bathroom and Mike is in bad shape, painting the walls of a toilet and just ralphing hard. Anyway, I'm the good guy, I get him out of there, ask the captain what to do. Call him a cab he says. I do. All the while dragging this guy around like I'm a medic in WWII.

Finally get Mike Comrie in a cab. He was sleeping when he got in, I gave the guy the address, money, closed the door.

As the cab is pulling away, down goes the window and out yells Mikey:
"Lets see you raise the barrel, you ***** *****!" (little cat/ female dog)

I hate him to this day. That's the truth, Salo snubbed me harder another night.

What would you do differently today if you had a second chance?

why did comrie leave in the first place?

Because he dipped his pen in company ink...

It's tradition.....

I didn't pay, just gave him the money. Which is almost worse, acted like a bell hop or whatever. I wouldn't do that for a normal person.

Curb stomp Comrie?

Wait that's not CBC sign worthy. But something like that.

Boot?

Because he got traded. Funny how you have to leave when you get traded.

The reason Comrie was traded was because he slept with Salo's wife and a certain captain named Jason Smith had the little dweeb by the throat in the dressing room. after that i am sure he would not fit in on the team.

Oh yeah and when you pay in gold boulion for tickets, you can boo whoever you want! including your mancrush comrie.
