Boynton Better Be A Bruin Next Season

"I love the city, I love playing for the Bruins. Obviously, the year hasn't
gone the best but that's the furthest thing from the truth. I hope anybody doesn't
think that. I regret what's gone on, I've hurt the team but that's not why. I've
always been on very good teams and we were fortunate to make the playoffs. Obviously,
we're not done yet, we've got to keep going. It's just frustration and it's not fair.
I can take it out on a punching bag or on the wall or something, it doesn't need to
come out on the ice like that. I love it here and I don't want to leave here. I don't
know where that came from because it definitely didn't come from me." ~ Boston Globe, 3/16/06

Boynton vehemently said that he doesn't want to leave the Bruins but just as adamantly
believes he should be paid according to his worth to the team. However, he also said
there will be a time when he won't allow himself to be in limbo anymore. ~ Boston Globe, 10/01/05

Lets Hope He's Still "in Limbo"

“I wanted to stay here. So it was kind of easy that way.
This is the only place I’ve been, and I like it here. So I’m happy,”
said Axelsson.

Although he was bound to get some richer offers on the open market, Axelsson was more interested in stability.

“You never know what’s going to happen when you get to free agency, so I’m happy to be here.
I’m happy that we got together and made it,”
Axelsson said.

Jeremy Jacobs Needs To Own Up


(bostonbruins.com)
Kevin Paul Dupont Calls Out Bruins Owner

“In repeated interviews with the Globe in recent years, the senior Jacobs, now 31 seasons into his ownership of this once-proud franchise, has made it clear that he will never shoo Harry Sinden out of the president's office. Well, without Sinden gone, the complete changeover so desperately needed on Causeway Street will remain a work in progress that never truly progresses. That's not to view Sinden as a problem, but it is to say now, nearly a decade beyond the club finishing dead last in 1996-97, that he is not part of the solution. Things have grown worse, not better, since that rock-bottom finish.”



Longtime Bruins fans, disgusted and more resigned today than they have been since the pre-Orr '60s, wish that Jacobs would go away, too. That exercise is not only folly, but unnecessary. In today's salary-capped NHL, one owner should be considered as good as the next, by a fan's perspective. Payroll funding isn't the same for every team, but it's close enough for fans to look beyond the owner and his wallet when things go bad.

Quote Of The Night


Mike O'Connell on the trade: “I’m not sure this is really a shakeup. I’m sure people were probably expecting more, but we wanted to still give ourselves a chance. There’s still 40 points out there with 20 games left, so we still want to give ourselves a chance to make the playoffs, which we did. … Hopefully with the subtraction of Samsonov and the addition of Reasoner and Czerkawski and Stastny we’re as strong a team or even stronger going forward. That’s what I was trying to accomplish going into this. Whether we did or not, who knows?”



Yeah...Who knows?

"The only way the Bruins will make the playoffs is if Andrew Raycroft plays 18 of the last 21 games and plays well.
Tim Thomas' technique will catch up with him in the NHL. The players will figure him out and burn him with their skill. Goals
don't come easy for the Bruins and unless they get great goaltending, they will continue to tread water and finish about where they are now in the standings."~ ESPN John Buccigross
