Charlie Jacobs, Harry Sinden Jeremy Jacobs & Tom Johnson cant bear to watch yet another home loss at the Garden.

"There seems to be almost unanimous agreement that the perfect choice was Dean Lombardi, the newly named GM/president of the Los Angeles Kings. Sources say Lombardi, 45, interviewed at least twice for the B’s job and very much wanted it. But when they did not act quickly, Lombardi took the job in Los Angeles, reportedly landing a sweet five-year, $5 million deal.

    “Lombardi was jacked to come to Boston, but the Bruins told him to wait,” a source said. “He should have been the guy for them. He was perfect, but they kind of got caught with their pants down.”

    Said another source, “The Bruins dragged their feet. They could have gotten Lombardi before LA was even in the picture.”

    Having missed on Lombardi, the B’s search goes on. With so much work to be done, the powers-that-be would be well advised to make up their minds pretty soon."


Harry Sinden having to answer publicly how the Bruins could bungle a simple GM Signing. Ray Shero agreed to a contract worth more money from the Penguins. (The worst place team in the NHL and on the verge of Bankruptcy)


Ray Shero days after talks hit a dead end with the Bruins
"I interviewed with the Bruins, that's public knowledge, but what I really want to convey is this is the place I really wanted to be(Pittsburgh)," Shero said. "It's important to me who you work with."  - Ray Shero Pittsburgh GM

   Bruins bungle another big call

      Money and Control

    Those are two things the Jacobs family doesn't let slip out of its hands often, and the Bruins ownership clan's insistence on keeping it that way may just have cost the organization. Dearly.
    Ray Shero, reportedly offered the job as the club's new general manager earlier this week, now appears unlikely to set up shop on Causeway Street. Talks with the highly-regarded Nashville assistant GM broke down yesterday, with issues over money and control at the heart of the problem.
    Is it ever any other way with the Bruins?

"The Bruins need to get a top-notch guy," said McShane. "I think Ray would do a good job. He makes the right decisons."

    Walking away from this dysfunctional franchise might just be his best decision yet. - Metrowest Daily News    Read More...
