Will GM Don Sweeney and President Cam Neely be fired by the Boston Bruins organization any time soon?
Much to the dismay of fans everywhere who have just witnessed the Bruins as they were demolished at the trade deadline he won't.
According to NHL Insider Jimmy Murphy, if the Bruins were to fire Sweeney and Neely, they would've done so over the Four Nations Face-Off break, which of course nothing happened.
Status quo for Jeremy Jacobs.
The Bruins are now 7th in the Atlantic Division, with a record of 29-28-8 with 66 points under Interim Coach Joe Sacco.
This seems like an entirely fireable offense for Sweeney who has missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in nine years.
All the while the last time the Bruins did make the finals, in 2019 they were unable to finish the job against a hot St. Louis Blues team who worked their way up from last place to win the cup against a tough Boston Bruins team.
The team's nine-year record at the helm is 425-194-81 for a . 665 win percentage, which ranks first in the NHL over that span. He has twice won the President's Trophy with the league's top mark, and the team has a current stretch of eight straight playoff appearances.
While the statistics above are impressive, this says nothing of his drafting capabilities and his trade record.
His last free-agency was a disaster, and Head Coach Jim Montgomery would pay the ultimate price for players who were unable to push the Bruins into winning territory.
Now, the Bruins are back to square one, as the retooling has begun.
