I wasn't expecting anything when Frank Seravalli shot down the rumors WEEI started. We really shouldn't have expected anything when Sláinte said there was gonna be an announcement after Frank's report.
It looks like Sweeney will get one more season, and since his contract expires next year (I think?), upper-management will choose to re-sign him or let him walk.

Produced well in Buffalo 2022-2023/2023-2024 which is promising. The cap hit is what hurts. I think Sweens really liked Zellers and wanted that 2nd, and while he didn’t love trading Coyle, he wanted assets and figured the cap was similar enough with Mitts, who was 5 years younger with term and still has time to blossom like Geekie. Low performance in Boston, but considering the tank/coach/new system/ahl linemates, it’s not crazy that he was scoring at .33ppg here.
Season | Team(s) | Games Played | Points | Points Per Game |
| 2022–23 | Buffalo Sabres | 82 | 59 | 0.72 |
2023–24 | Buffalo Sabres / Colorado Avalanche | 80 | 57 | 0.71 |
2024–25 | Colorado Avalanche | 63 | 34 | 0.54 |
That’s part of it. I just don’t think he was utilized properly in Buffalo and on a stacked Avs team, he had a set role with no flexibility. I want to see how he does from the very beginning. IMO, you cannot write him off. The opportunities in Boston are there but he has to seize on them.

The season just ended. People need to take a step back and chill out.
He forgot to add and remind everyone ticket prices will still be going up. His father will be pissed at him for leaving that small detail out.

‘It sucks where we’re at’: Charlie Jacobs opens up about the Bruins’ bad season as questions hang over the team - The Boston Globe
“I feel it. I hear the boos. I feel all that and they need to know that we’re working hard to right this ship," said Jacobs, who sent a letter to fans following the end of the season.

“While understanding the criticism and anger of some in the fanbase and media, Jacobs pointed to the success of the last decade, including a Stanley Cup final appearance and the record-setting regular season of 2022-23, when he said, “it’s hard for me to wrap my head around why people call for [Neely and Sweeney’s] heads.”
totally out of touch with fans who actually want to win a Cup.
Quote of the day from @badhatharry
The “surprise resignation” on Wednesday is really just Bruins fans resigning themselves to the fact that Don and Cam are never leaving

I’m beginning to think that Lou doesn’t like the Bruins management team. Just a hunch.

Similar to Neely, Jacobs pointed to a rough training camp as the root of the unsuccessful campaign that included the early season firing of coach Jim Montgomery.“I feel it was a little bit disorganized. There was a real lack of structure,” he said. “You see teams to come through, they have a system, they have, perhaps a fallback play, a breakout play, something. And when I watched the Boston Bruins start the season, it was just chaos. There was no organization, and I had a difficult time understanding that given Monty’s record,” said Jacobs. “I don’t know how to answer that other than to say something just changed. And at that point you’ve shopped for the groceries, you’ve made the meal at this point, what are you going to do? Monty didn’t necessarily have any answers. And at that point we had to make a decision.”
Thankfully the team was better with Sacco.
