Watching the Bergeron interview you can tell in the back of his mind he’s thinking “I came back on a cap friendly deal to have to answer for this shit?”

From the day he signed through now, Chara has never been appreciated here. Same people saying he should quit now are the ones that said he stunk in '08-11, and said he should quit every season since then. You're either spoiled, hockey ignorant or both.

@MattKalman Bottom line is the Bruins organization don’t have a clue on what they’re doing. Neely is a joke. Sweeney is a bigger joke. Cassidy is the biggest joke. Remember weeks ago the Taffoli deal was a lock. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Remember when the Jerome Iginla deal was a lock?

Dear national hockey writers who've dropped into Boston for two games this weekend (if any of you actually follow me): When you write/tape your Tuukka Rask stories today/tonight try to not make it sound like ALL of Boston didn't believe in him. Tuukka haters are a loud minority.
