OT: When will the Bruins get with the program? - New England Patriots Forums

1. Pats 16-0. Going for 4th title in 7 years.

2. Sox win 2 World Series in 4 years.

3. Celtics 25-3. Long way to go. But, look like they will go deep into the playoffs.

4. Hell, the Revolution even made their final.

5. Bruins. Where have you gone Bobby Orr? Hopefully, new management does a good job and gets them on track.

I thought UCLA was in a bowl game?

Simply put:

Robert Kraft = Best owner of a professional sports franchise.

Jeremy Jacobs = Worst owner of a professional sports franchise.*

* Certainly one of the worst, as there are others.

It's truly an embarrassment what has happened with that once proud and productive franchise. The accomplishments of this great Pats franchise and those of the Sox have absolutely buried the Bruins in the eyes of their once adoring fans. The Celtics resurgence is the best thing that's happened to Bruins ownership in years... the concessions from the Celtics home games are padding Jacobs pockets - which is all he cares about. But anyway, who cares about the Bruins anymore. We have the BEST FOOTBALL TEAM (FRANCHISE) EVER!!! GO PATS!!!!

People who like hockey. You're right about Jacobs, though he's been more willing to open his pockets these days.

By the way, the Bruins, despite being on a 4 game skid, still have the same or a better record than all but 4 teams in their conference, and are well within striking distance of all but one of them. They should make the playoffs this year, and everyone knows the hockey playoffs are unpredictable.

Until and unless the Bs find 3 more Milan Lucics on offense, another Zdeno Chara and Ray Borque on defense, and a Pro/Amateur scouting dept. and FO that can spot and acquire this talent, then I'm afraid that there's not much hope for them. Too many small, soft, right handed-shooting floaters on offense. Take tonight's loss in Atlanta, for example. Please.

15 years ago, the Bruins at the Garden were the hottest tickets in town. Alas, those days are gone forever, as is the NHL that I knew and loved. But that's an OT for another forum.

My mighty Avalanche will destroy the Bruins.

It always starts at the top and works it way down, im sorry P.C. is one of the main problems, i dont see why this guy is not kicked to the curb already, he obviously cant judge tallent and also cant work the free agency wire without blowing out our cap space, atleast years ago we had the excuse of not spending money, now they spend money and are getting even worse results. Until managment is completely replaced i dont see this team going anywhere unless they get sold and move out of boston.

Despite all the hype surrounding Lucic, he's not lived up to it yet and was a healthy scratch for a few games earlier in the season. The FO you are knocking has signed Savard, Chara, traded for the lieks of Wideman, Kobasew, and Auld who has been filling in nicely in Fernandez's absence. And before this recent cold streak they were second in the Eastern Conference. There seems to be some hope in the form of Rask, Hunwick, Mark Stuart, and Lucic once they come around.

I was at the Prudential Center to see the Devils and Bruins few weeks ago. It was hilarious to see Boston choke a 3-0 lead to the Devils and seeing Devils fans chanting "BOSTON SUCKS" after the game from the arena, to the lobby, and at Penn Station.
