PC has made his fair share of mistakes, but this has nothing to do with upper-management and the brass.
The coach should take the brunt of the heat with this one. But then again, these are trained, gifted athletes; grown men. Their weekly paychecks that trump my annual salary ten-fold should be enough to buy into anyones system; play hard; and show some friggin’ sack.
If someone offered me the Bruins minimum (Thornton) of nearly $1 million to play a system, and give an honest effort for 82, 60 minute games, I’d glady do it — and with heart.
Christ, I do that now at 40 hours per week at $15/hr.!

Savard, Chara, Bergeron, Krejci, Horton, Lucic, Boychuk, Thomas, and Siedenberg are all players any team in this league would love to have. I feel PC has done his job.
It could in all fairness be a few bad players in the room that are sowing the seeds of our problems (Ryder comes to mind) but that is something that Julien and Chia should take care of together. Glad to see most people think Chia is doing his job, after all, he’s the one putting the talent in the room and showing the patience to get the right deal done which is his job.
don’t the players work for the coach?
