Too bad for Glen. He was a good Bruin while he was healthy. I know I'll never forget the success the 600-pound line had with Murray, Joe Thornton, and Mike Knuble (why can't we get players like those).

Good luck, Glen!

The only time Glen was good was when Joe Thornton was his center. He spent the last 2 seasons hurt and when he was healthy he didn't contribute. I'm not sorry to see him go. The B's have to jetison the dead weight or they will never be able to attract the talent needed to compete for the Cup. They aren't going to get "home town" discounts from players since they don't have the aura of winning championships the rest of the New England teams have (that includes the soccer team)

Bruins are nothing but a mediocre franchise. This 'team" will be mired in the middle of the pack for years to come.
