Confirmed with Link: Claude Canned, All Clode Discussion here

[EverettMike]

Do you remember when he was going to be fired from Providence because he was ruining the prospects? haha

Sweeney got hired, he will fire Cassidy for sure!

If I live 1000 years and forget my mother's face I will still remember this.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

I have a big feeling that we're about to find out just how many holes Claude was actually covering for.

Exactly.

What a joke they did this today. Embarrassing front office.

Don Sweeney press conference at 11:30 during the parade.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Wow really surprised didn't think they would can him till the end of the season.

 

[Therick67]

Of course they do it on Patriots parade day.

cowards!

yup, never change Bruins

 

[smithformeragent]

I'm never gonna Clode again
Game day threads have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know Sweeney's a fool

 

[EverettMike]

Exactly.

What. A. Joke.

11:30???



oh my lord.

 

[FrankerC]

Knew it was bound to happen but damn, wrong person to fire! Wish him the best.

change your sig to member clode?

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Great! Can't wait to see all the geniuses who clamored for this faceplant hard.

Sweeneely are fools.

 

[Gee Wally]

Exactly.

what a ****ing coward !

 

[BruinDust]

On parade day though? Classless move by front offic, bush league

We are officially back to the dark ages with this franchise. Whether you agree with the firing of Julien or not (and I'm still on the fence), bush league is an understatement.

Sweeney and Neely taking a page directly out of the cowardly, classless play-book of Mike O'Connell and Harry Sinden.

Heck it was probably Sinden's suggestion.

Just brutal.

 

[TSBruins13]

I would think doing it on parade day is the OPPOSITE of burying the story....you have hundreds of thousands of New England sports fans collocated with nothing to do but talk and watch a parade....

 

[TP]

Cassidy is just interim, correct? I think there will be someone new in October.

 

[Duguay]

Ironic that the best one at his job, is the first one.....to lose his job.

 

[Bad Hat Harry]

Exactly.

Making Claude address the firing rumors in a press conference by himself was gutless.

This is pathetic.

I have lost a lot of respect for this organization

 

[BruinDust]

what a ****ing coward !

Hopefully that's the end of the un-abashed Sweeney support around here.

Gutless.

 

[EverettMike]

They hide from the media all year, they let the coach be the only one to face the music, they let him twist in the wind...

And then they fire him on the day pf the Pats parade and hold their press conference during it.

Do they think people don't notice this ****? Do they think we are dumb? Do these seem like the actions of an organization that is accountable?

They make excuses for everything, ****ing everything. They are non-stop excuse makers. And how they handled this is exactly in line with how they operate.

 

[TP]

yea, not so sure about buried.. 4 people who i consider casual fans have already texted me asking why.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

How out of touch they are to think we are this stupid to do this on this day.

 

[Oates2Neely]

If I had to guess (and I don't pretend to understand Sweeney's thinking at this point) I imagine they simply want to be into the coach hunt ASAP, as there are going to be a few teams competing for head coaches in the coming months.

Doing this on the day of the Patriots victory parade is nearly as bad as what the Panthers did to Gallant. Not the Bruins' finest hour.

Julien will be the most sought after coach this offseason

Just brutal.

Chiarelli messed up the salary cap.

Having said that, the fact that they put the hockey operations into the hands of an outsider was the right decision and was probably the best decision the organization has made in my lifetime.


Promoting Neely was first step in the Jacobs and their cronies seizing back control.
Chiarelli's firing was the huge shoe to drop.

 

[Alicat]

What a joke.

Such an ego move by Cam to can Claude on the day of the Pats parade.

The wrong guy got fired.

Golden boy Neely needs to get fired..

Ugh so pissed.

 

[finchster]

I didn't want a company yes man (Sweeney) to run this team, and my fears were correct. During the pats parade? Maybe only Sweeney's mother will show up to ask questions

 

[bruins309]

Such a Bruins move. "Hey, let's hire the guy who coached the 2004 Capitals!"

And let's do it during a Super Bowl parade!

Personally, they should have fired Cam Neely or at least moved his desk down into Storage Basement B.
