I mean Chiarelli has to fire claude, doesn't he? Maybe it wakes them up if he does? Last ditch effort to save his own job?

I generally tend to take a patient, glass half full, optimistic approach to the Bruins. They are really testing me right now.
 
I'm in the same boat. I'm not for blowing it up and starting from scratch, but this team definitely doesn't deserve any help at the expense of the future of the franchise.

That would be quite shortsighted and one time I hope the Jacobs is cheap meme holds true.

yea I'm not even saying I agree with it, but in his eyes it could be a last ditch effort to save his own ass.

Oh I've been here for weeks. I'm going to be pissed if they trade a bunch of kids/picks for someone who maybe gets them a 5 game first round exit. Call it a lost year, see if someone will bite on a contract, and regroup this summer.

So what exactly took them so fucking long to realize that the bomb away from the point isn't working and that maybe we should try what seems to work for some of these other teams?

Hard to vote for a guy who's going to play less than half a season, but you're right there's no one else who has played above expectations. Loui maybe, but that's more because he's coming back from multiple head trauma. I don't think he's exceeding the expectations people had when he got here

Edmonton has a boatload of young talent. They desperately need to find some defense and a goalie. I wish the Bruins could take some of these young guys off their hands.
