BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins are in purgatory.
Ownership -- Jeremy Jacobs and son Charlie Jacobs -- president Cam Neely, general manager Don Sweeney and coach Claude Julien are not on the same page. Jacobs and Neely want to win right now. Julien is being hung out to dry and Sweeney is stuck somewhere in the middle.
Decisions moving forward will be based on whether the Bruins want to be competitive enough to reach the playoffs for the first time in three seasons or continue to develop in hopes of being in contention a season or two down the road.
