What a suprise, Dave Lewis and Marc Habscheid have been "reassigned"/fired. Apparently they will be given other jobs in the organization. Maybe Lewis can scrub the urinals and Habscheid can clean the gum off the Garden seats. I'm not sad to see Lewis go, only sad Chiarelli didnt go with him. Coming out of Detroit, Lewis was pegged as the next Scottie Bowman. Now one major difference is obvious, Bowman didn't SUCK. (Also, Scottie didn't look like a cross between Adolph Hitler, Drew Carey, and Bill Garrity.) As for Marc Habscheid, it's too bad he has to go too. With a more agressive coach, he could have been a good fit as an assistant. Alongside Lewis, they were about as intimidating as Hal Gill and Andrew Alberts are on the blueline. Heres my list of potential new coaches from best to worst. (These are just being thrown around, no one knows if these guys are even being considered.
-Pat Quinn- the frontrunner in public opinion, lots of experience, more "hard nose" than Lewis
- Ken Hitchcock- if the Bluejackets decide to go another way, the Bruins should be all over him
- Jim Playfair- after being demoted in Calgary, would he leave and come to Boston?
-Pat Burns- PAT BURNS? Well, you never know
-Bourque/Neely- just what the B's need, someone with no experience, wait is there a Burns connection here?
After reading about the moves, there is only one logical thing to think. The Bruins are just like the Big Dig. You can pour money into it, but that doesnt mean things are going to get better fast. Both are way behind schedule and cause more headaches than they have benefits.
