Jeremy Jacobs had a pretty unsavory reputation and was rumored to be one of the dedicated obstructionists behind the last lockout.

Their owner and their broadcast team.. yes

hahahaha yeah "poor" vinny. That washed up son of a female dog. Is he still collecting money from when he got bought out in tampa?
- benjichronic

Haha! Exactly - when your factored in his TB buyout $, I think he was one of the highest paid players in the NHL last yr. Weber might be high on that list too. Its clear Homer liked to spread the wealth.

I know this is just my opinion, but I feel like some of that leadership this team was apparently missing could have been provided, at least in a little way, by Lecavalier, if Berube hadn't cut him off at the knees.

I know VLC didn't play well, but I also feel like he was buried and disrespected. Its hard to be a voice in the room when you feel like you aren't contributing in a positive way on the ice. Even worse when you are being scratched.

VLC has been a good soldier.

That is just my opinion.

Chiarelli out in Boston

Likely the end for Julien too I assume.

Tough business. Take a team to multiple cups and win one. Get fired only a few years later.
- PhillySportsGuy

I don't think Julien or Hitch are getting fired.

I believe so, but he handed out some of those contracts that put them in a tough spot moving forward
- ob18

The seguin trade really didn't help either.

Still, I think he deserved the opportunity to rework the roster. He did pretty well considering he always had the Savard contract hanging over their heads

It's gonna be hard for Hitch in St Louis to stay if they flame out in the first round again.

I've been saying this for months.

That's what I thought. Hope they hire a Milbury type GM and he (frank)s up the franchise for years

- SuperSchennBros

I think the Julien is safe until the new GM is hired, then he gets the axe.

soo whats going on @ 2?

A new GM in Boston may want to bring in their own guy. I think Juliens days are numbered. Who knows though

Probably did deserve that shot but they felt it was better to go in another direction.

I agree

I hope they actually hire Milbury.. In his infinite wisdom regarding all things goaltending, He'll sign Bryz and the clown show will be on..

It's gonna be hard for Hitch in St Louis to stay if they flame out in the first round again.
- Feanor

Who leads that offsense? St Louis' case isn't far from Boston's case. Fill needs, then expect to get somewhere. At least against the Wild they stand a chance by having a favourable match up.

Well I hope his guy is better then Julian.

How does that clip end?

Is it like the 3rd Harry Potter movie where he's just going all Gallagher on them and cutting a watermelon?

In the last 4 years the Bruins have won a Cup, and gotten to a SCF.

Chiarelli fired, Holmgren promoted. Very interesting.

Those 2 things usually go hand-in-hand.

FWIW:

•David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: Signs are pointing to the San Jose Sharks and head coach Todd McLellan mutually parting ways as early as today. McLellan has one year left on his contract. If McLellan hits the open market, there will be no shortage of teams interested. If Mike Babcock leave the Red Wings, source saying that his replacement would be either McLellan or Jeff Bashill. The Maple Leafs already have an opening.

McLellan and Babcock and maybe Julian if fired would be my favorites for NHL coaches.


Bashill and Richardson would be my AHL coaches to take a look at.
