BOSTON — In introducing Cam Neely as the new president of the Boston Bruins, owner Jeremy Jacobs talked about his club’s leadership group with Neely, Charlie Jacobs, Peter Chiarelli, Claude Julien and the coaches.
“Suffice to say that I have total confidence in that group,” said Jacobs, just about a month since his club completed an epic collapse against Philadelphia by blowing a 3-0 series and Game 7 lead.
The younger Jacobs then made a curious statement about what this day means to the organization.
“I feel genuinely happy about how things and events have things have turned for us as an organization,” said Charlie Jacobs.
Bet you never thought you’d hear that from the principal of a team that lost in the second round for a second straight year and became just the fourth team in North American major league sports to blow a 3-0 series lead. I mean, I know you’re excited about Neely’s promotion, but it’s going to take a lot more than a change of title for one of your iconic players/management types to erase the doom and gloom from last month’s disastrous end.

aside from the blowing the 3-0 lead and last years exit its obvious to me that this team is on the up. Im disgusted about what happened but this management team has the Bruins going in the right direction. They handle things differently they sign their players.Who was the last player to hold out from camp? I cant remember. Chiarelli takes care of business and I kinda trust him. He spends money too! But you could argue how he spends it. Keep the faith brutha. I always do. They have to win eventually right. It will be much more sweet for the loyal fan when they finally do it.
