Jacobs referenced Sweeney's refreshing "black and white" nature.

"Approaching this summer, he has some hard decisions to make, and we spoke about the coach a little bit, we spoke about the guys who have some term left, who we might want to move, who we might want to keep, who we will re-invest in - and he'll be busy," said Jacobs. "Thinking about it through this next 100 days, like a presidency almost, what is the first 100 days? What have you accomplished?"

"He's got a lot to accomplish, but I have great faith in his execution."

There is a long way to go. Sweeney knows that. Like his first day on the job, his future days as GM will be a whirlwind. He will encounter challenges, he will welcome discourse, and his passion for the organization's success will be apparent every step of the way.

Sweeney decided to keep the coaching staff

What about the roster now..

Bruins want to play a different style

That's why I don't understand why they brought Claude back...

He will be gone in November

Glad he did.



Not a chance, Claude will be here with an appearance to the playoffs.

Not a chance ?

Neely was gonna fire him in January

Then realized the Bruins have had some serious success with Claude.
Even last year wasn't a bad year, just a disappointing one.
Still had a solid amount of points, had injuries all year, krejcigoat wasn't healthy at all, team wasn't deep which isn't Claude's fault.

yup hence chia getting axed

Wow it's already been 4 years since Boston won the cup.

I remember it well

2 since they almost did it again when iginla chose the wrong team, they'd beat chicago in that series if they had iginla instead of jagr

Jagr pissed me off.
Dude never passed the puck, would control the puck for like 10-15sec then turn it over.
