Bye Bye Chiarelli

Beard Bruins, Other Stories ,

While everything was happening during the Aaron Hernandez trial the Bruins dropped an absolute bomb on us by announcing they have fired Peter Chiarelli and all of Boston had a sigh of relief. Many people came after Chiarelli’s job after the Bruins had the worst season in recent memory.

Chiarelli wasn’t all bad to this team I mean he was here for 9 years.  When he got here this team was a shit show and people didn’t know if the Bruins would be the same again. Chiarelli came in and turned everything around and made the playoffs seven years straight including 2 Eastern Conference Finals, a Presidents Trophy, and of course a Stanley Cup in 2011. For that we can say Thanks

But ever since the Bruins went to the cup 2 years ago things haven’t been the same. It has been an utter disaster. Some may say it goes back even further to when they won the cup. Chiarelli became to dependent on the third and fourth line guys. He was way over paying Campbell, Kelly, and Paille, which in turn made the salary cap nothing but a disaster making him move Sequin and Boychuck two young players who could have made a difference for this team. Peter could not draft players for the life of him. The only good pick we had was Sequin and you thought he didn’t fit here? Insanity. Another big question was the head coach did Chiarelli keep Claude here for to long? Claude tried to keep the ‘Big Bad Bruins’ but in reality the league is moving in a different direction. If the Bruins are going to want to compete in this league they are going to need some top goal scorers.

The future of the bruins is in question, the future is sketchy and questionable. Who’s going to be the new GM? Will Claude be here?
