IT's OFFICIAL

Yup you guessed it March! The B's are now mathematically out of the playoffs. Joe thirteen is on his way to a 1st round playoff appearance, and you can bet the house that if he was not on that team, they would not be going. The teams leading goal scorer had one trick prior to Joe's arrival, he is ending the season with a franchise high, career high, and you guessed it league high four hat tricks. You could argue that it was not Joe's doing, until you go to the stats and see that Joe set every one of the hatrick goals (after the first one) up, not the second assist but the first assist, in other word the puck went from Joe to Cheeco to the net. You can also note that Cheeco (sp) never had a single hat trick in his career before this year, meaning he is not normally a guy who goes out and get a couple of goals a game. He was just a hard nosed forward much like Muzz who finally got someone who could set the kitchen table up with two arms tied behind his back and blindfolded, and this guy was not right for the Bruins? I hope JJ and Sinden take a hard look at the WHOLE management staff, anyone who did not step up and say Joe should stay should not be considered for the GM slot, there is talk that Jeff Gorton the acting GM (assistant under MOC) will get the slot. If he agreed that Joe should go then he is clueless and should be counted out, if he thought Joe should stay and was to much of a pussy to say it then he should be counted out. Bottom line he worked for MOC and he obviously bought into the system and it is now apparent that there was no system and that the Bruins need new blood, someone who is not afraid to say what needs to be done no matter what the affect on the bottom line is.
