The Boston Bruins held their annual ‘Media Day’ at TD Garden Thursday as they inched closer to the start of the 2015-16 regular season which kicks off on October 8 at home against the Winnipeg Jets. Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs, his son and CEO/Alternate Governor of the team Charlie Jacobs, President and Alternate Governor Cam Neely, General Manager Don Sweeney and Head Coach Claude Julien addressed the media.
While the event focused mainly on the upcoming season and the state of the team with rather reserved answers, Neely — who never held back on the ice as a player — didn’t shy away from hot button issues and even made a point of going to bat for his coach who finds himself already on the hot seat with media and fans before the season even starts and later touched on a main reason he felt Peter Chiarelli had to be replaced by Sweeney.
