-One thing we know about Jacobs is that he never means what he says.
-Another thing we know about Jacobs is that he never says what he means!
-And another thing we know about Jacobs is to expect the opposite of what he says.

That this rumor has actually circulated suggests there's something to it. Let's face it, Jacobs stopped making money on the Bruins years ago as he chased fans away.

STP43FAN | 07/14/08, 11:03 AM

Yup,thats why the building is not packed anymore. The fans have had it. To be fair though,the current GM and Neely are righting the ship. O'Connell and Sinden destroyed the once proud rabid fan base. They had the worst plan after the lock-out. They let Knuble,Rolston,Nylander go. They traded Boynton and Thornton ( although i have gotten over the No-Show-Joe trade). Now the B's are in rebuilding mode. Its not a bad rebuild,eh?

I wonder if Balsillie is interested in buying the Habs and moving them to Quebec? hahhahahha.jk, PopKing.

The Bruins are improving!!!! Boston rules!!!!!!

Too bad, I was about to make an offer to buy them...
;-)

bgm whats Neely doing? Didnt know he was involved...one of my favs.

Peter Goezinya | 07/14/08, 12:21 PM

Neely is a "special assistant to the GM". I have no idea what his job entails. I think he just helps to lure free agents. His job could be more than that,i'm really not sure.

bostongm | 07/14/08, 12:29 PM

And you call yourself bostongm...hrmmmpph.

Peter Goezinya | 07/14/08, 01:13 PM

Hhahahha,Pete. I deserved that one. I was wrong to begin with. His title "special assistant to the GM" is wrong. He's actually the Vice President of the Bruins. Hhahahhaha. I was close,wouldnt you say?

bostongm | 07/14/08, 01:45 PM

Just fookin wit ya bgm..

Peter Goezinya | 07/14/08, 02:21 PM

Bob Kraft should buy the B's. I don't think Jacobs will ever sell the team though. I believe he owns the Bank North Garden, so whatever money he doesn't make on the B's, which i'm not sure he isn't making money on them, he certainly generates from the Celtics lease, concerts, and other events. I can see him maybe stepping back in a smaller role but I believe his brother would take over the owner role. Either way, his name will still be on the organization in some capacity. It's too bad... as a 34 year old Bruins fan, Jacobs has ruined many a season for me for being such a tightwad.. especially before the salary cap era. Bourque should have won a cup with the Bruins and there were a few teams that were close but Jacobs and Sinden refused to add a few players to take them to the next level.

Pennywise2374 | 07/14/08, 03:02 PM

Bruins need a Bob Kraft-type owner, one who truly has a fans perspective and passion for the team and wants to see it succeed.

Blkbrd | 07/14/08, 03:02 PM

Careful, Boston fans, Balsaille is out there to get (buy) you and move your team to Hamilton, ON!
Just kidding. I'll stop watching hockey if the Bruins stop exisitng. BTW, I like them this year; they are solid at every position. Bostongm, any latest (good) nes on Bergeron's return?

cmh_phx | 07/14/08, 06:00 PM

This is the worst news I have heard all day... he won't be happy till he has burned the team into the ground. Go to hell Jeremy Jacobs.

The Duke of Awesome | 07/14/08, 06:19 PM

He's 100% and he's been symptom free for the last 2-3 months and he's gaining his strength back. I believe he's at 193 pounds right now. He couldve played in the play-offs (the games 5,6, &7) but the docs played it safe with him.(to me that was the right way to go as well). He also cant wait for the next season to begin. In short,he's good to go.

bostongm | 07/14/08, 06:23 PM

That's good to hear, BGM.

bostongm:
Balsilie is only interested in relocating teams which have poor attendance and lack fan support. You have to admit, the Bruins are way down the totem pole in the New England sports scene. The Celtics winning the NBA title surely doesn't help. Let's see--Red Sox: champions
Patriots--almost undefeated and AFC champions
Celtics--NBA champions
Bruins--honourable metion on "Coaches Corner" with Don Cherry.
Maybe moving them to Hartford would be realistic.

PopKing | 07/14/08, 07:54 PM

Hhahahahha....PopKing. You're a funny guy. An Original Six club being relocated? hhahahhahahaha. Can you pass me the joint after you've had your puff?

bostongm | 07/14/08, 08:38 PM

Man, The Thorton trade was the worst salary dump **** you fans move Iv'e ever seen !
No wonder they got no fans !
I mean it's okay to trade your star if you want to, but Thornton for Brad Stuart and Marco Sturm ?
That's not a good return ?
