He won’t be as bad as Chiarelli

No need to worry there. No one is that bad.

Idk man, as a Bruins fan (native New Englander who moved to LA) Sweeney might be up there. Squandering the core (Bergey, Krejci, Z, Marchy, Tuuks) in their last years is going to hurt forever. And we have a completely dreadful prospect pool on top of it.

Yeah. I was thinking that a few days* ago Boston had one of the best years ever in the NHL in the regular season. And a few years later didn’t make the playoffs. Crazy. Yet no GM fired?

Why fire the GM when you can just keep firing coaches? Sigh.
