Holy s***, I don't know how much of this I can take.

 

Sabres and Philly are tied at 5-5 in the 3rd.

[yankeessuck013]

Wow, Sabres just beat the Flyers 6-5 on a GWG with 4.6 seconds left.

 

Boston in town tomorrow.

 

41 wins and counting.

Wow you're a real fan there. If I had season tickets to the Bruins I'd still go to every game I could no matter if they're good or bad I'll always support them. The last thing this team needs is fans like you.

[Beckett95]

ya if you dont want the tickets, ill go.

im still going to go but i dont want to go to every game for the rest of the year. ill prolly just give them to some of my buddies for less than face value.

[YanksHater213]

Psh, way to change your mind once someone bashes you. <_>

[jsinger121]

whatever.....at least I still care about them even though they have sucked this year. But i'm disappointed that they should have broken the team down and traded guys for younger players and draft picls.

[yankeessuck013]

Sabres dominance over the Bruins continues...6-2 Buffalo win.

 

6-0 vs the Bruins this year.

[YanksHater213]

No one gives a s***...

[yankeessuck013]

a little mad that your team sucks serious dick?

[YanksHater213]

Not really. Honestly I could care less about the Bruins. Havent all year and arent about to stop now.

[ARod2212]

No one gives a s***...

Way to add to the conversation.

Bruins fire general manager O'Connell

 

Assistant GM Jeff Gorton has been named interim GM.

 

O'Connell was named to the post in November of 2000, succeeding longtime Bruins boss Harry Sinden.

 

Entering the 2005-06 season, his teams won two division titles and compiled a 152-98-39-27 record and .585 win percentage during his tenure as general manager.

 

The Bruins struggled out of the gate early this season, and O'Connell raised a lot of eyebrows in November by trading captain Joe Thornton to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Marco Sturm, Wayne Primeau and Brad Stuart.

 

 

The team also shipped off forward Sergei Samsonov at the March 9 trade deadline, and now sits 10 points out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a 27-32-7-5 record.

 

His final move as GM was signing netminder Tim Thomas to a three-year deal.

 

More to follow.

from tsn.ca

 

boston.com says there will be a press conference at 6 to confirm this

[jsinger121]

It couldn't have come soon it enough. Will Sinden now leave next as well. This team needs to be completely overhauled from the top down.

[Goalstopper]

now i feel more confident with the new season next year

[Goalstopper]

hate to double post but sinden is

thinking retirement

[jsinger121]

good the whole management team needs to be overhauled.

[RoyNHSox]

Good luck to Bruins newly hired GM Peter Chiarelli! Time will tell but who would bet against the notion that he’ll be another Jeremy Jacobs puppet?

[Beckett95]

Good to see that Sullivan is all but done as the Bruins head coach. Sounds like its down to former Leafs coach Pat Quinn and former Detroit Red Wings coach Dave Lewis.

 

Also, interesting to see who the B's draft tommorow with the 5th pick in the draft.

 

I think a couple good moves for this team and they will definetly have a shot at contending next year.

 

They need to trade Raycroft and possibly Boynton , and bring in at least 1 FA forward (Marc Savard/Jason Arnott) and 1 FA defenseman (Wade Redden/Zedna Chara)

[Beckett95]

Im hoping the B's end up with Kessel, Toews or Backstrom in the draft tonight

[CrespoBlows]

Bruins might win 15 games if they get lucky.

 

Lightning > Bruins.

 

(OK, probably not)

[Goalstopper]

Im hoping the B's end up with Kessel, Toews or Backstrom in the draft tonight

the bruins do get kessel. to some he was touted as the number 1 player in the draft but ended up in the fifth position. as well the bruins trade raycroft for a goalie prospect (like we need enough!!)

Read more about the next thornton

[Beckett95]

I think i can honestly say that the Bruins did something positive tonight. IMO, they had a great draft. Kessel was a steal and Yuri Alexandrov, who was supposed to be a first round pick, slipped down to the B's at 37. GREAT DRAFT.

[Beckett95]

http://hockeysfuture.com/prospect/yuri_alexandrov (2nd round)

 

http://hockeysfuture.com/prospect/milan_lucic (2nd round)

 

http://hockeysfuture.com/prospect/brad_marchand (3rd round, pick traded from PHX)

 

Alexandrov was the #1 Russian in the draft

[Beckett95]

Also looks like we ripped Toronto off with the Raycroft deal

going to be great having these 2 between the pipes for the B's for the next decade or so.
