Bruins fire Chiarelli

... kiss of death predictions ... Isles-poof .. Hawks-maybe.

Nice to see Bruins making good on their roster chemistry.
New Step on right side wing makes them fly better.
Worried about injury to their vulnerable defense corps.

How long will it take for Neeley to show Julien to the Zamboni door if they lose to Detroit tonite?
Yeah, they need more talent as well, but he has surely lost his marbles .. and in so doing, has cost them some games.

Are they somehow going for a Sox strategy here ... Woist to Foist ?

They could trade for Sandoval for goalie...just put him in front of the net and have him stand there. No one could get a puck past him.

Be a tough decision after they just recognized Claude as the winningest coach in Bruins history only two weeks ago. Would have been much easier to do back in January... Neely was an amazing player, but I'm not sold on him as president. I haven't had a warm fuzzy about Bruins management for multiple seasons, and as mediocre play and management continue, the needle pushes further and further towards Cam.

Homer Simpson has earned his Disney World tickets. Time to move on.
They have no D-men left that can execute Claude's style.
Will be interesting to see Sweeney in this next draft.
2 years missing an NHL postseason is simply pitiful.

As to Sandoval, Bruins could get this guy for much less than $19M/year.

Claude really should have parted with the Chia pet. He coached the entire season as a lame duck. I gave them no chance of making the playoffs back in the offseason, with Claude trying to coach Sweeney style. Sweeney simply wasn't given the time to bring in new coach/staff. He couldn't have put a new coaching team in place in time for this season that he could stand behind, and the Bruins certainly didn't want another Dave Lewis situation (who they may still be paying!) I think the entire management team knew this year was a throw away, and honestly I'm surprised they aren't further back in the standings. Marchand kept them alive Feb/March, but he's a little too streaky to carry them any further.

Unfortunate ... glimpses of hope ... then pure blind faith.

On another note ... Spieth or McElroy or who ?
Lake of Isles for me next Saturday ... prolly snow

I thought you would have picked Gretzky's daughter
Yeah .. Sun Devil always shows up
9 backspin aces yesterday

Sweeney completely standing up for Claude is honorable, but curious
Unless they change their roster considerably, am expecting '16-'17 to be another dud year.
