Murray named Providence coach

who care's. good for him.

Does anyone actually still watch the Bruins? I stopped after Neely retired. Thornton was the best thing since Neely and O'Conell shipped him out of town to save on payroll when they figured out they could not make the playoffs in the "new" NHL they helped design.

Good job Sinden and Jacobs!

Rob,

The whole Tisinger family is very proud of you.

Im with pete on that one, what a sad state the bruins offseason is if the first headlines in weeks are about a new AHL coach. Jeremy Jacobs is the worst owner in all of sports. WWW.Pleasesellthebruins.com

Bruins are on the upswing both Providence and Boston! They are going to surprise a few people next year!

If you care so little about the Bruins, why bother reading and commenting about them?

Bill, Thornton was the best thing since Neely? Really? He did the same thing everytime he touched the puck, he got the puck and skated to the corner looking for the same pass to Murray verytime. Most overrated player ever in the NHL! He was the biggest fraud Hart winner ever!

Who cares, you ask? Guess what? If Murray coaches like he played, it rubs off on future B's which is what the big club is trying to mould. He paid his dues in the minors as a player and captained four teams. That means an awful lot. Leadership is what it means. I don't know Murray from Adam, but too many whiners on this forum drive me nuts. Yes, this is an open forum, but it's like television. If you don't like what's on, turn the channel. No ones turns pro hoping to carve out a 15-year career in the minors, but Murray gutted it out and now gets to run a team, one step away from the show. Turning a program around is a painful process. We've hit rock bottom, but you quick-fix theorists out there love to grovel that the club is in a sad state because we name an AHL coach instead of signing Sundin, Shanahan and any other overrated free agent out there. Haven't seen too many moves out there lately from the other 29 clubs. There, now I can enjoy my weekend. Turn the channel.

Actually Tom / Pete ... I care, but that's only because I'm a fan of hockey and the Bruins. I also understand that its summer and there isn't anything going on in ANY NHL organization so news is slow. Feel free to jump back on the Celtics band wagon and get out of here.

When will people realize Jacobs is NOT going to SELL the team so all these websites and all the people who are praying for him to SELL get over it, it is not going to happen. Has Jacobs been cheap pre lock out, not really imo the Bruins were in the middle of the pack they were never in the bottom 5. Were they in the top 5 in payroll no they were right in the middle. Post lock out Jacobs and the Bruins have spent right to the ceiling and it is proven they have. You want to say it was spent wrong fine but that is another debate entirely. If you dont want to support the team because of the owner, dont no one is forcing you to. If you are a fan of hockey and dont like Jacobs, there are plenty of Hockey East games and AHL games you can attend. Or if you feel like it buy the NHL package and watch any team you want. No one is telling you you have to like the Bruins

Dalton, Thank You! Rockstareh, Thank You! Why do these negative people who don't have anything constructive to say even read these Bruins sites. I know they think I'm just a lamb following blindly behind Mr. Jacobs, but I think I'm really just a die hard B's fan who cannot wait for the season to start! So Pete, Bill and Tom I just hope some day you will find something to be happy and positive to occupy your time.

I might offer, If some of you guys are so miffed, so offended, by the 'negative' things you read here, why not 'turn the channel'. Why come here to read it? Why trouble yourself to 'monitor' the hallways here? You are free to post anywhere - or not post. Are you so sensitive, so insecure about 'your hockey team' that you can't handle a little free speech? Please, enough of the Cops with Pom-Poms. As long as it doesn't devolve into embarrassing misogyny or inane racism etc, who cares? What are the rules here? Love Jacobs? Love Management? Every decision? Love every player? Every play? Only applause, no booing? C'mon! I thought this was America!

Actually "TimV" you are just a blind sheep who will be wondering yet again where it all went wrong this April

Pete - Your question has been answered thoroughly.

Bill 1 - I don't quite understand what you're saying. If you stopped watching the Bruins after Neely retired, then what would you know of Joe Thornton? He played after Neely retired.

Why do people insist on coming to a Bruins page, reading about the Bruins and then bothering to take the time to leave a comment just to say "Who cares?" or "Does anybody even watch them anymore?"

I think you'll always find the answers to be, "The fans." and "Yes." respectively.

And Turk, nobody is saying that it's wrong to be negative, or that actual *constructive* criticism or negativity isn't welcome here. But leaving a post that says, "Who cares?" or "Does anybody even still watch?" is just inane. Plain and simple. It's just not conducive in any way.

I don't agree with the inclusion of Brendan Shanahan in the list of this season's overrated Free Agents. Actually, I would say he is an UNDERrated Free Agent. A steal. A bargain. A necessary addition to a Bruins team now lacking in leadership, especially since the departure of Glen Murray, who was, apparently, a boon to the room.

Shanahan, yes, would be a nice addition. At a reasonable rate. None of this $2.6-M or more. He wants to play and he wants to lead? Sure, sign him. Incentive-laden deal only.
And, yes, we're off topic from the original coaching announcement, but that's okay. The passion is there. Too many Moosehead tonight.
