General Manager Mike O'Connell announced that Robbie Ftorek was fired Wednesday as coach of the Boston Bruins.
I don't like that the Bruins wishwashed around this. If they were going to fire him they should have done it before now! It is silly to think that just because they fired Robbie they have a chance at winning the Stanley Cup like the Devils did after they fired Robbie in 2000. The Bruins have a chance to be successful in the playoffs but it won't happen simply because they fired Robbie. The players have to step up and make it happen. At any rate, it's sad to see him go like this.
