WILMINGTON, Mass. --Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs proclaimed "a new
day" for the Original Six franchise on Friday, saying the job of ending the team's 34-year Stanley Cup drought now falls to general manager Peter Chiarelli and his hand-picked coaches and players.
"It's Peter's team and his organization," Jacobs told reporters at the team's media day, one day after veterans reported to training camp. "He should have the right to run it his way."The Bruins haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1972, hitting a low point last season when they missed the playoffs and traded away soon-to-be league MVP Joe Thornton.
Out went the general manager, the coach, and many of the players that presided over the team's last-place finish, as well as the longtime face of the front office, Harry Sinden, who last month resigned as president after 17 years to become an adviser to Jacobs.
Bruins fans have been abused for far too long.
