Cam Neely and Charlie Jacobs weren’t there to get into specifics.
The Boston Bruins President and team CEO didn’t quite reveal the reasons why general manager Peter Chiarelli was fired on Wednesday, only to say that it came after an annual audit of the organization and the result of wanting to improve the team going forward.
The Bruins last missed the playoffs in 2007, which cost then-head coach Dave Lewis his job. That’s when Chiarelli hired head coach Claude Julien. Eight years later, Chiarelli is out and Julien’s future will be decided on by the next GM.
