No thanks.
BOSTON -- In his first official act as CEO, Charlie Jacobs made it clear that everyone in the Boston Bruins organization is being evaluated and decisions will be made soon in regard to the team's subpar performance.
"I'd say without question this has been a very disappointing year," Jacobs said. "It's unacceptable the way this team has performed given the amount of time, money and effort that's been spent on this team. To see it deliver the way it has is unacceptable."
Nearly at the midpoint of the 2014-15 season, the Bruins are 19-15-6 with 44 points in 40 games. If this team does not earn a playoff berth for the first time in eight years, it will send ripples through the organization, according to Jacobs.
"Incredible failure," he said. "If you think about what has been put in this team, in terms of -- discount all the scouting, all of the drafting, all of the money spent on the player personnel -- for us to be a team that's out of the playoffs is absolutely unacceptable. Everybody in the executive offices is fully aware of how I feel and they feel the same way, which brings us to this evaluation process and it's fluid right now. It would be an utter disappointment and a failure -- complete failure."
