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.

don’t the players work for the coach?
